June 21st was a beautiful day on the gin clear waters of Barbe Lake. The trout were gorging themselves on dragonfly nymphs and it was something to see the old guide match and catch!

One of those days on the lake!
The lake trout were biting, and the boat suddenly died!.....it's a good thing for good friends with big boats who can come to the rescue....but it was a nice day!

Trophy Rainbow Trout
June 10th was an exceptional day of trout fishing on Barbe Lake, 45 minutes from home base at Clearwater Lake. This 25.75" trophy trout was taken fly fishing on an olive fly imitating the native olive sticlkleback minnows which are active in the lake at this time of year.
Crystal Clear .... Clearwater Lake
Crystal clear water, good friends, great memories, solitude, beautiful native lake trout....what more could you ask for...
Clearwater Lake is located in limestone bedrock country which gives the lake its robins egg blue tint. It is one of only 3 'true blue' lakes in the world, the others being Lake Baikal in Russia (the largest freshwater lake in the world) and Lake Lucerene in central Switzerland. The excellent beaches have sands which have a percentage of garnet crystals brought from the Precambrian rock by southward moving glacial ice.
The shores of the lake are forested with white spruce and jackpine on the higher land, and forests of black spruce and tamarack on the lower areas.
Moose, woodland cariboo and brown bear may be seen. The lake is a haunt of the sportsfisherman who take trophy northern pike and lake trout.
