Thompsons Creek Dam

Regular stocking of browns and rainbows in this 163 ha lake, with depths of up to 43 metres provides plenty of rich habitat for trout to grow fast and Thompsons Creek Dam has subsequently developed a reputation for consistently large fish of trophy proportions.
Large wets/streamers such as weighted Woolly Buggers consistently pull bruts from the depths if you are prepared to put in the time, while nymphing is also a reliable prospecting method. While the trout are often large, they will also take small suspended midge patterns.
The winter months can be very productive, especially when winds are moderate as the lake does not offer a lot of protection.
Site fishing can be an exciting prospect at TCD seeing large trout work a shoreline beat. While in the warmer months, especially on bright days, searching with a sinking line can be helpful if fish are skulking off in the depths.
