hey guys, i am fairly new to trout fishing and i will be picking up my first fly rod in a couple of weeks. I will be in the whiteshell for a week this summer at west hawk in the middle of July and am wondering what lake/pond would be my best bet for some nice trout. It doesnt really matter what kind of trout. Just as long as there is a chance at a nice one.

well in that area there are: the "Berry" ponds west of Falcon on the south side of #1. Lyons, McHugh and Hunt lakes. The Whiteshell river @ the hatchery. Farther up is Bear Lake and Dorothy Lake Trout pond. Then there are the non trouty places

the berry ponds are the truest form of pond, VERY small, prolly quite shallow, nearly total winterkill most years is my guess, never even caught from them (because I have only fished them a couple times in spring, when nothing seemed to be in there at all ) i believe they put tigers in one of the ponds last year (ironic with their supposed high production costs....) i am sure you could have some great fun in these ponds in late summer and fall. has anyone noted any overwintering in these ponds?

We went in search of these ponds on Sunday. Found Strawberry and Snowberry. Tried at both but no luck. I didn't see any evidence of fishies but Strawberry had some minnows in it. It was later on in the afternoon so I would have thought that there would have been some risings! Oh well, it was a nice afternoon out anyways.
