Here's a good look at the inside of one & two bedroom cabins at Salmon Lake Resort! The Resort has a fine mix of one and two bedroom cabins, with a variety of bed configurations. Ideally, most of the cabins can accommodate up to four people. Some of the cabins also have queen beds.
The one bedroom units have a fold-out style sofa in the front living room space, incorporating a bigger common area. The two bedroom units have a smaller common area but have more beds and separated sleeping quarters. We are pretty confident to say that there is something for everybody!
Here is a short video showing some of the advantages of being prepared with a few different sinking lines during the warmer months of the still water season. Sinking lines can be utilized throughout the entire season to search low lying fish, just off the bottom. Most individuals that choose to troll flies for Trout in lakes will find sinking lines to their advantage. For superior casting / searching methods, all the normal types of sinking lines will work very favorably from anchoring in shallow waters and casting and retrieving to deep drop off / darker water zones.
The higher the number of the "type" of sinking line, the faster the sink rate. Type 1 is intermediate (very slow, best purchased in clear). Type 3 is medium sink (most low end generic sinking lines are type 3 although high end lines are available) colours may be dark green, dark blue, brown or black. Type 6 or 7 (extra fast sinking, normally black) mostly produced in better series of fly lines.
A short web video shot at Wasley Lake during mid Summer, filmed August 5th 2012.
Wasley Lake is one of "those" lakes. By that I mean that Rainbow Trout can reach exceptional sizes in this smaller body of water. The water has a slight tinge and remains fairly brackish, Lily pads, marl shoals, rock faces and mud bottoms round off this stillwater in the total lake category.
On my last trip to Wasley, where I shot & edited his short film entirely by myself, was during the hottest part of our summer. The key to locating the Rainbows was fairly straight forward, BIG BLOOD COLORED Leeches with gold crystal flash and gold Tungsten bead heads. I found that my type 3 sink, casted from an anchored boat in 6 to 8 feet of water, out into the depths of about 12 to 16 feet of water was the absolute ticket. A 15 second sinking count, followed by varied fast and slow retrieves was the ticket. The larger / mature fish were grabbing the fly within the first 4 to 8 strips, so I assume that they were cruising the 10-12 foot depth range, of course just above bottom. Hitting bottom weeds or mud during the odd cast was a must.
At Wasley Lake we have two Yurts located comfortably along the productive shorelines of this magnificent
piece of water. Each Yurt is spaced quite far apart which totals this ideal setting. Wasley Lake is almost an hour drive in from Douglas Lake road. If you are heading up there, be prepared to open and close a few gates as you ascend. The smartest drivers of the "convoy" take the middle vehicle position, for obvious reasons.
It's also a great idea to bring along extra ice, a small inverter (to charge cellphones or cameras) or even a generator if you wish to recharge your electric motor's battery. The Yurts are completely gas run, so electricity is VERY far away. If you get a chance, you should really take the time to plan a trip to Wasley or Mellin Lake. I can guarantee that it will become an annual thing....
