Fly tiers are always coming up with their own unique fly patterns to suit their locale. We in British Columbia are no different. It's empowering to land a large fish on a fly pattern that one has tied themself.

Below is a list of Fly Patterns-BC Lakes with which I have had success. Find out how we tie them and how we fish them.

The Kamloops Booby:

This BC Lakes fly pattern is fished on a wet line with a short leader (6'-8'). As a modified pattern of the UK Booby, the Kamloops booby is a dynamite snail pattern that is a fish magnet when other food sources dwindle in the fall.

Careful how you use it... we accept no responsibility for sore arms and broken lines.

Kissing Leech Pattern:

After watching this leech "live" in the waters of Wellesley Lake, Yukon Territory we decided to try a pattern for the rainbow trout in the southern waters of British Columbia. It had fabulous results.

The Simple Glassworm:

Imitating the simple glassworm (Chaoborus americanus) as a fly pattern for BC lakes is no easy task. This small transparent larvae can dominate the food supply at certain times in the Kamloops area lakes and are a source of frustration because of the challenge to match-the-hatch. When the fish are feeding on glassworms most fisherman pack up their gear and head to the nearest watering hole because they are convinced that fishing is all but hopeless. And it usually is.
