Fishing
Report: With lots of aquatic insect life including
an excellent spring chironomid hatch along with a good mayfly
hatch makes this small lake a great choice for fly fishers. Corbett
is a consistent producer of rainbows in the 1 lb. range with some
going to 3 lbs. or larger. This is a quality fly only lake. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
