Fishing
Report: The semi-wildemess Batnuni Lake sports good fishing
for a variety of fish. The rainbow average around a pound with the
occasional one over four pounds and are best caught by fly fishing
around the island shallows. The plentiful kokanee, which average
about a pound, are best taken on trolled lures or flasher strings
and worms. The same gear can be used for the Dolly Varden. The lake
char require deep trolling with medium sized plugs or large metal
wobblers.
