Quesnel Lake in the central interior of British Columbia is a body of water were, “Big fly big fish” rings true.  During a trip to this spectacular fishery as a result of an invitation extended from Sue Barton manager of Elysia Resort (www.elysiaresort.com), John Booth and I were blessed to experience this adage first hand.  Choosing to find fish by covering water we decided upon leech patterns.  John knotted on a pattern first shown to him by Cariboo Fly and Tackle’s Jason Brautigam the Popsicle Leech.  During previous trips to Quesnel Lake Jason had experienced fantastic fishing using this pattern.  Based upon some discussion John and I had prior to our arrival he supplemented Jason’s original design through the addition of a hot orange fluorescent bead.
