Skoki Area Fishing

[jimforrest]

Am headed into Skoki Lodge in Banff this coming weekend, and am interested in doing a few hours of fishing. Any info. I could get about which lakes to consider, flies/tactics to use would be much appreciated. Have never fished in this area. Thanks in advance for any help.

Went in there a couple of years ago and didn't fish much, but I did have some luck in Ptarmigan Lake. Managed to convince the wife to let me fish for a hour or so while she read a book and relaxed in the sun. Was lucky that it wasn't very windy as a fellow I encountered said it usually howls in there. I got a few 12 inch brookies on the dry. I used an adams but I don't think that the fish are too picky. Good luck, that's a beautiful area and staying at the lodge is a great experience. Lots of bears in the area so be aware.
