Over the last century, fly fishing in the Kamloops Area lakes has conjured up great stories of magical days with the feisty rainbow trout.

You too can share your story here. It's easy, it's fun and YOU get YOUR OWN PAGE on our site... immortalized or... whatever.

In any case (and you don't have to be a fly fisherman), you are welcome to post your story here. It doesn't have to be long or too detailed and you can add up to 4 pictures... and if you want to add a video, just embed your YouTube code right in the main story box.
