其实大温地区没什么鲈鱼(bass),有鲈鱼的地方也就那么几处(多是在近边境的地方--Pit Meadow/Mission/Abbosford),大部份被亚洲移民钓光得差不多(大温地区是绝对的鱼民多鱼少)?最好的两处都是被私人属地环绕(Laxton lake & Silvermere lake),没有公众access的地方,因此的结果--虽然湖是公家的(Crown land)大家都可以钓,但只有空降湖面或挖地道到湖面才可行.
加拿大其他有bass的地方是盛产水果葡萄酒的Osoyoos, BC, or Cranbrook, BC(也近美加边境). 这种情况下导致绝大多数的加拿大鱼民对钓bass都不了解,温哥华有名的鱼具Pacific angler店竟然没有任何钓bass相关的鱼饵,店员对我们说:他们要么不进货要么就想进全,在大温地区bass fishing太少了,进相关鱼具太冒险。越往南行,比如华盛顿洲bass就开始越来越多,

For the differences between wacky, Texas and Carolina rigging, see:
