Only problem with Tunkwa and Peterhope is they don't fish as easily as Anahim or Nimpo. Now there are other lakes around Nimpo where the fishing is hot.

I've fished Peterhope about 6 times so far since about 1993 or 1994. My general rule of thumb there is to LAND a couple of fish a week. I might hook more, but they seem to fight harder there and strike shorter, so usually I end up losing most of my fish. Some do break me off too.

Last time I fished there was June of 2000 and for some reason the fish gods favored me. Instead of just a couple of fish I landed somewhere around 50-60 fish in 2 1/2 days of fishing. Peterhope was never like that before. Only thing was the fish were smaller than I previously landed there. Only bad spot on the trip was finding out on the last morning I'd broken my favorite rod. If that hadn't happened I'd have caught even more fish as I didn't fish after I found out about the broken rod.. just packed up and drove home.

The "other" lakes I alluded to that are around Nimpo are lakes that can be driven to... no float plane needed.
