Peace Region Key MaP

The vast and ruggedly beau-tiful Peace region is situat-

ed in British Columbia’s north east corner. It stretches from Tumbler Ridge in the south to the Yukon border in the north.

We have profiled 21 lakes and one river in this guide, most of them clustered around the tri-angle of Chetwynd, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John.The Fort Nelson area has in-credible waters as well. We have featured five lakes here, all of them along (or near) a highway for easy access.

FEATURED IN 2014New to the guide in 2014 is a complete listing of all members of the BC Fishing Resorts and Outfitters Association. Also included in the guide is a listing of all stocked waters in the Peace region during 2013 (see page 42). Most of these are stocked with rainbow trout, but a few have eastern brook

trout (Boot, Heart and One Island Lakes).Again we have included the 2013-2015 regional fishing regulations for the Peace. See pages 36-38 for details and any in-season changes since they were released last year. More maps are available from www.AnglersAtlas.com. © The Angler’s Atlas

Andy BAiley lAke

Andy Bailey Lake is a great choice for a weekend break,

or to stop over on your Alaska Highway travels. The fishing is fabulous. As well, bird watchers and nature lovers will enjoy this quiet campground nestled in the boreal forest. It is also a popular destination for outdoor enthu-

siasts.

The pike fishing is well worth the trip to Andy Bailey Lake. Fishing from shore or from a boat, fly fishers and gear fishers alike will enjoy the opportuni-ties.

Cory Koenig from Webflyz BC, suggests that gear fishers can try any assortment of salt or freshwater spinners, lures,

spoons and flatfish.

Fly fishers are in for a real treat on Andy Bailey Lake. Koenig says that a 6 to 9

weight rod and line will work fine. If the pike

don’t seem to be inter-ested in surface offer-

ings, get down to their depth with a

sink tip.

K o e n i g n o t e s

t h a t

“pike love larger than they can swallow baits.” Gummy min-nows, large fish and rodent imi-tations are very exciting to cast to pike. “Poppers are a great floating fly that pike will smash on the surface!”

Koenig is an expert fly tier who has been fishing in BC waters all his life. Check out www.webflyz.com for all of your fly fishing needs.

LAKE ACCESS

From Fort Nelson, head south on the Alaska Highway for

about 31 km. Take the marked road turning left (east) and drive another 5 km to the Andy Bailey Provincial Park entrance.

There are 12 unserviced camp-sites here, and 8 tent sites near the beach. There is also a picnic and day use area and a boat launch. Only non-motorized boats are allowed. Please note

that the campground is not recommend-

ed for large trailers.

QUICK FACTS



BeaRhole laKe

Bearhole Lake offers a wide variety of fishing oppor-

tunities. Yellow perch, burbot, rainbow trout, northern pike and suckers are all present in Bearhole Lake.

Targetting burbot can be reward-ing. Mainly considered best for ice fishing, burbot can be caught at other times of the year as well, when the water is cool. They prefer deeper water, and will feed on anything avail-able. Try trolling a spoon near the bot-tom of the lake, near rocks, roots or holes in banks.

Pike are another oppor-tunistic feeder, and can be caught with a wide variety of gear. Keep in mind that these are strong, fighting fish, and a wire leader can be essential. Larger lures will probably work best in mid-summer. Position yourself near weedy areas that will offer cover to the pike, who prefer to ambush their prey.

Fly fishing for rainbow trout is a great way to spend a day on Bearhole Lake. Leech and chironomid patterns are good to have on hand for any type of trout fishing. Try matching the

hatch, but don’t be afraid to experiment if some-thing isn’t working.

One of the great chal-lenges of fly fishing is to know enough about trout feeding patterns and the insects u p o n

w h i c h they’re feeding.

Whichever pattern you use, try to imitate your insect’s natural movements. Many fly patterns are versatile enough to mimic a variety of insects.

Please note that there are trum-peter swans in the area. Please do not approach the swans or their young, as they are easily disturbed.

LAKE ACCESS

Bearhole Lake Provincial Park is 25 kilometres east

of Tumbler Ridge. From the

Heritage H w y (Highway 52), travel west along the Kiskatinaw Forest Service Road 20 kilome-tres. BC Parks reports that the road in can be very slippery after a rain; please exercise cau-tion travelling this road.

There is a campground on the west side of the lake offering campsites, toilets and a boat launch. There is also a day use area and picnic facilities avail-able.

QUICK FACTS



Boot laKe

Boot Lake is stocked with rainbow and brook trout,

making for some great fishing. While fishing for brook and rainbow trout differs slightly, your gear does not need to be that specialized to catch these two species.Both brook and rainbow trout are great for fly fish-ers. Worms, leeches, mayflies and caddisflies are all good choices. A Parachute Adams can work particularly well for rainbows. Careys and Buicks are also good patterns to have on hand for Boot Lake.Early in the season, the main food source will be leeches. Black, brown and maroon are good colour choices. As the season progresses, and as the insects start to hatch, you may need to do more investigating to determine what the fish are eating. Also keep in mind that when casting and retrieving, you will want to imitate your insect’s natural movement through the water. For example, a caddis-fly, or sedge, will swim straight up to the water sur-

face, whereas a chironomid will wiggle on their way to the surface to hatch.Much of the enjoyment of fly fishing comes from learning these movements and perfect-ing your technique.Gear fishers will have ample opportunity on Boot Lake as well. Small lures in chrome and blue or chrome and red combinations can be great choices for rainbows. Please consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations before heading out. LAKE ACCESS

Boot Lake is 64 km

Carbon Lake, a tiny lake just south of Williston Lake, is

a beautiful little spot for lake trout and rainbows.

Steve Hewitt from BackCountry Sporting Goods in Fort St. John, says that smaller gear is a good choice here.

“Work with small flatfish, and any of your smaller spinners and spoons,” he advises.

Carbon Lake is a great fly-fishing lake, too. As it is quite productive, there are some good hatches throughout the season. In early summer, try damselfly nymphs. Leeches are always a good standard to have on hand. Greens and browns may do well here.

Hewitt suggests that there are several other lakes in the area that are definitely worth a visit, too. In particular, Wright Lake and Pete Lake are excellent lit-tle trout lakes, he says. These are both hike-in access, and worth the effort.

Another good choice is Dinosaur Lake, although please be aware that this lake is part of the reservoir and water levels can change dramatically in a very short time.

The Angler’s Atlas web page for Carbon Lake

is a great place to post pho-tos, videos and tips for fellow anglers. Stop by www.angler-satlas.com/lakes/267. While you’re there, you can sign up to be notified when someone posts new information to your favourite lakes. Angler’s Atlas members can follow a lake or another member to receive these notices.

LAKE ACCESS

Take a few days to camp at the rustic Carbon Lake

Recreation Site. There are just a few campsites and a pit toilet. Drive to the W.A.C. Bennett Dam, cross the dam, and fol-low the road. Keep to the left along the West Utah/Table Creek Road. Turn right at the main T-intersection onto the J o h n s o n C r e e k F o r e s t

Service Road and

drive for another 28km.

Bear in mind that the entrance can

be rough and may require 4wd. There is

a motor restriction of 10hp on Carbon Lake,

and fishing is only permit-ted from May 1 to October 31.

Carbon Creek, visible from the road, is a five-to-10-min-ute drive past Carbon Lake. Take the right fork and park at the bridge. This pretty little mountain creek is a tributary to Williston Lake.

QUICK FACTS



BoulDeR laKe

Boulder Lake is an excellent family destination, a great

place to introduce novice anglers and families with children to the q u i e t joys and basic tech-

niques of fishing. This small, pic-turesque lake is managed as a family fishing opportunity, and is stocked annually. Catch rates are high, encouraging for youngsters and beginners.

Boulder Lake is ideal for cast-ing from the shore or from small non-motorized watercraft, includ-ing float tubes and pontoon boats. Good shore-fishing spots can be found along the southeast side of the lake, and several points

along the east shore are accessible by trail.

T h e r e is a shoal

along the east side of the lake, which is a

good place to start.

Spinners and spoons tend to work well here.

Spoons are metal blades

that wob-b l e

and dart in the water. They are designed to imitate small fish or simply act as an attractant. Spinners are metal blades that attract fish by a spinning motion when the lure is retrieved or trolled through the water. Below the spinner can be various combi-nations of tackle — flies, spoons and hooks, dressed with natural or artificial bait.

Anglers can troll a variety of flies and lures, although motorized boats are not allowed on Boulder Lake. Wet flies, flatfish, Kwikfish or gang trolls baited with worms can all work here.

Some of the lake’s most reliable flies include Spratleys, Careys, Woolly Buggers (leeches) and shrimp patterns.

Check out the Angler’s Atlas website page for Boulder Lake to get some more great tips: www.anglersatlas.com/lakes/193.

LAKE ACCESS

Access from Chetwynd is via Hwy 29. Travel south from Chetwynd on Hwy 29 for 33 km, then turn right and travel 6.5 km on the gravel Dome Petroleum Rd. Take the right fork in the road and travel 11 km to the H2S sour gas pipeline. Make an extreme right and travel down the pipeline another .3 km to the old Forest Service Recreation site sign.© The Angler’s Atlas

Spoons are metal blades

that wob-b l e

and dart in the water. They are designed to imitate small fish or simply act as an attractant. Spinners are metal blades that attract fish by a spinning motion when the lure is retrieved or trolled through the water. Below the spinner can be various combi-nations of tackle — flies, spoons and hooks, dressed with natural or artificial bait.

Anglers can troll a variety of flies and lures, although motorized boats are not allowed on Boulder Lake. Wet flies, flatfish, Kwikfish or gang trolls baited with worms can all work here.

Some of the lake’s most reliable flies include Spratleys, Careys, Woolly Buggers (leeches) and shrimp patterns.

Hudson’s Hope, this little lake can produce well on most trips.

Chunamun Lake is stocked with rainbows annually, and with ample habitat, the trout thrive here. Bryan Webster, Wildlife Biologist, says he fish-es Chunamun Lake every year. “The fish stocked there are sur-prisingly cooperative,” he says.

“In the spring just at ice-off and again in late fall

I will use an indicator with a microleech pattern. Later I move to chirono-mids and emerg-ers, then to cad-dis pupal imita-tions. At times when things are slow I will use a f l o a t i n g d r a g o n f l y pattern and a full sink fly line and work the shoal

a n d

dropoff areas,” advises Webster.

Gear fishers will want to stick with smaller tackle. Try small flatfish, spinners and spoons. Steve Hewitt from Backcountry Sports in Fort St. John says that the weed area is a great place to start. As well, he suggests the drop off is a favourite location.

Please note that there is a fish-ery closure between November and May on Chunamon Lake. Consult the BC Freshwater Fisheries Regulations for up-to-date information.

LAKE ACCESS

From Fort St. John, head north on the Alaska Highway for

about 10 kilometres. Charlie Lake is at the junction of Highway 29, and Mile 43 of the Alaska Highway.

There are two provincial parks on the shores of Charlie Lake. Beatton Provincial Park lies on the east side, while Charlie Lake Provincial Park borders the south-west shore. There are campsites available, a boat launch, and day-use areas with basic amenities. There is a playing field and chil-dren’s playground as well.

Just north of Fort St. John, Charlie Lake offers an ideal

combination of easy access, amenities and great fishing.

These are just some of the rea-sons that Charlie Lake has

been designated one of the

Family

F i s h i n g W a t e r s in the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations. Family Fishing Waters are so cho-sen because they are relatively easy to access, have simple fish-ing regulations, and can often be fished from shore or a dock.

Bryan Webster, Wildlife Biologist, says that Charlie Lake is a very viable fishery. In the 1970s, walleye, suckers, perch and burbot were stocked in the lake for rehabilitation of the fish stocks. Webster notes that the rehabilitation succeed-ed nicely, and that most anglers do well there.

When targeting larger fish such as pike, trolling spoons may work well. Because they are predatory fish, anglers may have luck imitating other fish such as

minnows or trout. Metallic fin-ishes on your lures, or natural trout colours, are good to try.

For early morning or later eve-ning excursions, copper and brass finishes can be attrac-tive. On sunny days, or in clear water, nickel and silver finishes can be useful.

A t t h e south end of the lake is Rotary RV Park and Jackfish Dundee’s Pub. After a good day of fishing, stop by the pub for a great meal.

gwilliM laKe

Gwillim Lake is northwest of Tumbler Ridge. This deep,

cold lake is home to many species of fish, and anglers will have no shortage of opportunities here.

Gwillim Lake offers a good deal of variety. The lake supports a good lake trout fishery, while whitefish and arctic grayling are also popu-lar choices for anglers.

The lake trout in Gwillim Lake can be an exciting challenge for both beginner and experienced anglers. When going after lake trout, use big spoons and Rapalas, fishing the drop-offs.

Arctic grayling are anoth-er species present in Gwillim Lake. These fish prefer moving water and will tend to feed w i t h

the current. Grayling will often take to flies, as they feed almost entirely on insects. They will sit and wait for food, preferring to ambush their prey rather than chase it. Try casting upstream and retrieve back with the current, imitating natural insect patterns.

Gear fishers may want to try spin-ners and small spoons. Copper and silver can be good colour choices.

This gear can also be used for

t a r g e t -ting whitefish.

These are preda-tory fish, and gear

resembling small trout in colour and action may

produce the best results. Whitefish will also feed on insects. Fly fishers may want to try mayfly patterns, however, have a look around and determine what else may be hatching.

Whitefish feed in shallower areas of lakes. Early spring or fall is the best time to target this species.

Please consult the BC Freshwater Fishing

Regulations before heading out. There is a bait ban in effect on Gwillim Lake. Also please review quota information for all species.

Do you have information about fishing Gwillim Lake? Visit the Angler’s Atlas page for Gwillim Lake and let us know! See www.anglersatlas.com/lakes/735.

LAKE ACCESS

Gwillim Lake is situated within Gwillim Lake

Provincial Park. From Chetwynd drive south on Highway 29, 56 kilometers to the park. The turn will be on your left (east). The park contains 49 campsites and a boat launch, and facilities are wheelchair accessible.

Beginning in the Rocky Mountains, the Graham River

flows east across 187 kilometres of rugged terrain to join the Halfway River west of Fort St. John. This remote river is known for its arctic grayling, bull trout and rainbow

trout.

Tr o u t a n d grayling fish-ing can be pro-ductive, though keep in mind the quota limits for bull trout and arctic grayling. Dry flies to try are the Parachute Adams, Elk Hair Caddis and Stimulators.

The arctic grayling fishery on the Graham River is considered among the best in the world. There are numerous shore fishing opportunities. No specific regula-

tions apply, however, please con-sult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations for up-to-date rules and quota information. ACCESS

From Fort St. John, head north along Highway 97 to 95 Mile

turnoff. Turn left and follow this road to the confluence of the Graham and Halfway Rivers, at kilometre 57. A beautiful forest service recreation site is located

here and has space for 12 sites and a boat launch. This

site is accessible by two-wheel

drive.

The road continues along the Graham River for another 10 kilo-metres or so, and only emerges at the river again at kilometre 103. Also known as the Crying Girl Prairie, there is a small campsite located at the river. This is the farthest upstream you can go with a vehicle.

Access to the Christina Falls Trail is a few kilometres before the river, and should not be navigated by truck. Best travelled by quad, this trail leads to the spectacular Christina Falls. Please note that the trail is quite steep in places; please exercise caution.

Small portions of the Graham River travel through Graham-

Laurier Park, which is approximately 145

kilometres north-

w e s t of Fort St. John. The

Halfway / Graham Forest Service Road provides the only motorized access to within 10 kilometres of the southeast corner of the park. This is true wilder-ness. Be prepared and exercise caution in the area.

Pretty little Heart Lake is a great retreat with great fish-

ing. Heart Lake supports a thriv-ing fishery, and has a nice little campground set amongst the pro-tected area of Pine Le Moray Provincial Park.Heart Lake is stocked with brook trout, which are a great cloudy day choice, or if you are ven-turing out early or later in the day. Brook trout prefer the cooler temperatures, and Heart Lake is deep enough to provide the right conditions.Brian Smith, author of Fly Fishing BC’s Interior, says that brook trout are great eating, and that they’re sometimes challeng-ing to catch. He refers to them as a “head down and dog-it-out” species, meaning that they don’t jump a lot; when they’re hooked, they tend to head down and pull.“Brook trout will take minnow patterns year-round,” suggests Smith, and “they must be fished deeply on sinking lines. Brookies like colour: red, yellow, tinsel flies. Or troll a silver flatfish on a fly rod.”Good lures to have on hand for brook trout are small flatfish, or spinners such as Mepps or Blue Fox. Keep them small. Minnow plugs can be good early season choices for both brookies and rainbow trout, too. Heart Lake is stocked with catch-able sized rainbow trout as well. These trout can reach good sizes,

and are fun to catch. Many of the same hardware used for brook trout will work with rainbow trout. Small flatfish and spinners are good choices. Spoons can work well in cooler tem-peratures when the trout are more actively feeding near the surface.Brian Smith has a new book released in April, 2013, called Seasons of a Fly Fisher, pub-lished by Caitlin Press. Look for Brian’s expertise and vivid writ-ing style in local book-stores.

LAKE ACCESS

Heart Lake is locat-ed about 80 kilo-

Klua Lakes boast an excellent fishery for bull trout, gray-

ling, and pike among other spe-cies. As well, Klua Lakes offer a world class pike fishery. Don’t expect to find modern conve-niences here. This is true wilder-ness.

Cory Koenig, owner of Webflyz BC, says that flesh flies are a good choice for Klua Lakes, as are any baitfish flies.

If you’re going a f t e r

grayling, they will take an assortment of dry flies. For bull trout, Koenig suggests a floating white mouse or a stone-fly nymph.

Lorence Forsberg from Wapiti Sporting Goods in Fort Nelson says that the pike get really big in Klua Lakes, and that a 35 lb pike has come out of there. He suggests a jig hook, a Five of Diamonds, a Red Devil and other big lures. On a cloudy day, try a 1/4 inch jig with a black or pur-ple tail. Croks, Len Thompsons and black and white spoons are also really good choices for pike.

LAKE ACCESS

During the summer months, access is limited to hiking

and horseback trails, as there is no road suitable for vehicle trav-el. In winter months, the trails are more suitable for snowmobiles.

Klua Lakes

Protected Area is

located east of the Prophet

River and east of Mile 240

of the Alaska

Highway. There are no desig-nated roads; roads are designed for winter use only. Access is via trails leading up Adsett Creek and via a northern trail from the Alaska Highway. Snowmobile access is sometimes possible due to creek and beaver dam cross-ings or via float plane.

From Fort Nelson, head south to just north of Prophet River, at approximately KM 240. If you’re headed south, the pullout will be on your left (east). You can see the trail from the highway pull-out. From there, follow the trail in approximately 35 km. There is no signage, however the trail is a deactivated logging and mining road, and is fairly easy to follow.

Ja c k f i s h Lake is a

popular fishing spot just northeast of Chetwynd. Anglers will want to ensure that their gear is up to the challenge of this pike fishery. Northern pike are an aggres-sive, predatory fish. Pike will hang out in the weedy areas of a lake to ambush their prey, which could be frogs, small shore ani-mals, and other fish.When targetting pike, it is a good idea to ensure your rod and reel are strong enough for this fighting fish. Pike can be heavy, and they can battle hard. A wire leader can be helpful, too.Set yourself up in an area with underwater weeds or other struc-tures that provide cover for the pike. Early spring is a good time

to fish for pike, though a windy day in midsummer may be just as productive. Pike often feed in lower light conditions, though not in darkness.

Gear fishers will want to use larger gear. Both spoons and spin-ners can be effec-tive. Red and silver are good colour choices. Mepps and Blue Fox spinners are standards that can work in a variety of angling situa-tions. Try var-ious sizes and

colours.

Fly fishers will also want to use heavier equipment. This is impor-tant not only to keep your equip-ment intact, but also because you want to land your fish with as little stress to it as possible. Black is a good colour to have on hand. Orange and yellow are also popular colours for flies. Go big when possible, particularly mid-summer. Smaller flies may work better earlier on in the season. Other than that, the sky’s the limit for flies that will attract pike. Those that imitate prey fish are good bets.Please consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations before head-ing out.

willing to take the trouble to get here. Access is by quad or snow-mobile only, and the low-pressure fishery will not disappoint.

Walleye in excess of 5 pounds have been reported here. Yellow seems to be the colour of choice for lures, and a five of diamonds may prove successful.

Lorence Forsberg from Wapiti Sports in Fort Nelson, says that Maxhamish also has a great fish-ery for pike and pickerel.

A number of lures will work well h e r e ,

including a white jig, and a white, green or yellow tail. On cloudy days he recommends using the darker colours, and black and purple can be the best choices.

Forsberg notes that anglers really need to pay attention to the snow load on the ice if you’re out ice fishing. Layers of slush, ice and water are called an overflow, hid-den by heavy snow pack, where the ice can give way without warning. Anglers can quickly become swamped.

Follow the shoreline and don’t venture out too far. Wear

warm clothes and ensure you

have

some form of communication. Forsberg notes that Maxhamish may have cell service, though anglers shouldn’t rely on it.

For more information about Maxhamish and other lakes in the Fort Nelson area, visit Wapiti Sports in Fort Nelson and talk with Lorence Forsberg and the helpful staff there.

LAKE ACCESS

Access to Maxhamish Lake is by quad or snowmobile trails

only, 125 km north of Fort Nelson and 12 km off the highway. From Fort Nelson, head north along the Liard Highway (Hwy 77) to Km 110. Take the 77 Connector, go to KM 110, and turn right. Go 10 km past Maxhamish

Encana 110 Camp. Follow the marked trail to the north end of Maxhamish Lake. This is about a 45 minute snow-mobile ride.

Alternately, take KM 114 from the 317 Road, and go straight to the last well site. Forsberg notes that this is about a 20 minute snowmobile ride, but he cautions that this route is pass-able only when the road is open.For the best access information, please consult good local maps or stop in to Wapiti Sports in Fort Nelson and talk with the staff.

MoBeRly laKe

Moberly Lake is a large, deep lake between Fort St. John

and Chetwynd. This is a popular fishing lake for pike and burbot, and there is a large provincial park on its southern shore. As well, in 2012, over 13,000 lake trout were stocked in Moberly Lake.Northern pike are a predatory fish. They will often inhabit weedy areas, rocky points, shoals and points leading into bays. Gear should imitate their natural prey. Try large spoons fished along the edges of weed beds. Pike will a l s o

take a f l y , and your best luck for this type of fishing is early in the season. As the summer progresses, flies and lures should get bigger. Remember that the type of gear you need for pike fishing is heavy. Don’t forget the type of equip-ment you may need to land and unhook the pike as well; big nets and long-handled forceps to remove hooks are good to have on hand.Another species present in

Moberly Lake is burbot. Burbot are similar to pike in that they are indiscriminate feeders. Locate these fish in the depths, under rocks, in roots, or in holes in banks. They prefer water that is 18 degrees celsius or cooler.

spoons near the bottom, but not

is a good time to target these fish, as they tend to prefer the lower light levels.Moberly Lake is home to sev-eral other species, including arctic grayling and bull trout. Please note that Moberly Lake regula-tions prohibit fishing September 15-October 31. Lake trout must be released November 1 to September 14.Visit the Angler’s Atlas page for Moberly Lake for some great tips and map markers: www.anglers-atlas.com/lakes/1273.

Muncho laKe

Muncho Lake, with its jewel-toned waters and stunning backdrop of snow capped rugged mountains will have you wonder-ing if you should be reaching for the camera or the fly rod.

Cory Koenig, owner of Webflyz BC, says that fishing Muncho Lake “is one of the best experi-ences any angler would enjoy.”

Koenig emphasises choosing your flies carefully. “Presenting the proper fly will increase your chances substantially,” he says. For Muncho Lake, try large mice, frogs/toads, saltwater pop-pers, and small slimy sculpins.

As well, Koenig suggests large bait fish flies that resemble northern whitefish or grayling. Use 6 to 9 weight fly rod and line(s), with or without sink tips to achieve depth.

A good standard for Muncho is a baitfish fly. Koenig advises that baitfish flies in most col-ors will work, with emphasis on blue/white, red/white, and yel-low/white colour combinations.

Common aquatic insects in Muncho Lake are stone flies and may flies, later in the summer is a great time to use dry flies.

Lake trout offer a great fishing experience. Try cloudy days, or low light periods. Large lures and flies work well for lake trout. Make sure your gear is heavy enough to handle these lunkers; the lake trout here are not small and delicate. Spring and early summer may be your best times to fish Muncho Lake.

There is an abundance of trails and hiking opportunities are end-less. Moose, cariboo and stone sheep are frequent visitors. Take a look at the Northern Rockies Hiking and Motorized Trail Guide for more detail.

For great fly fishing tips and proven winners, visit Cory Koenig’s website at www.web-flyz.com. Koenig has been fish-ing in British Columbia all his life, and is an expert fly tier.

LAKE ACCESS

From Fort Nelson head west along the Alaska Highway.

Muncho Lake is at approximately KM 681 of the Alaska Highway.

There are a few different options for accomodation at Muncho Lake. There are two campgrounds in Muncho Lake Provincial Park. One is at Strawberry Flats at the south end of the lake, and another is at MacDonald campground, situated at about the mid-point of Muncho Lake.

Both offer seasonally available, unserviced campsites, a boat launch, pit toilets and a day-use, picnic area. Campsites are avail-able on a first come, first served basis.

Serviced campgrounds are available at both Northern Rockies Lodge. For full service restaurant, cab-ins, fuel, and hotel amenities, visit Northern Rockies Lodge, at Mile 462 of the Alaska Highway They can be reached at 1-800-663-5269.

Moose laKe

Moose Lake is a popular fish-ing lake year round. Stocked

with Pennask rainbow trout annu-ally, Moose Lake is ideal for both gear and fly fishing. In 2012, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocked 5,000 rainbow trout in Moose Lake.The Pennask strain of rainbow trout are insect eaters, and will take readily to flies. They tend to be most active at dusk, and are good jumpers. One of their main food sources is chironomids. A chironomid pattern, trolled through the mid-dle depths, may be productive. Chironomids are one of the first insects to hatch in the spring, and will emerge in a variety of colours. Having the same kind of variety in your fly

colours can be one of the keys to success with these patterns.Gear fishers may try small spoons such as a Krokodile or Canadian Wonder in chrome colour combi-nations. These are good general spoons, as they can be effective at various trolling speeds. Moose Lake was stocked with brook trout at one time, though this program was discontinued in 1992. Brook trout are still present in the lake, and anglers targetting them can try a small spinner with a Panther Martin lure or a Dick Nite spoon.Brook trout will

usually prefer to feed at cooler depths, and they are most active very early in the morning, or later in the evening. Cloudy days are also good times to go after brook trout.Angler’s Atlas members have posted some great tips and map markers on the Moose Lake page.

One Island Lake is consid-ered one of the angling

jewels of northeastern British Columbia, both for its spectacu-lar scenery and its big fish.

The lake is stocked annually with rainbow and brook trout. In 2012, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocked 5,000 rainbow trout and 5,000 brook trout in One I s l a n d Lake.

When targetting rainbows, it can be useful to know that there is a good sedge hatch in early July. Muddler minnows, Woolly Buggers and Doc Spratleys can all be productive fly patterns.

Brook trout can be attracted using spin-

ners with flatfish, Panther Martin

lures or Dick Nite spoons.

Consider your trolling speed

when using s p o o n s

or spin-n e r s

t o

ensure your gear is being used optimally. Trolling too fast can make some spoons spin, while going too slow can make some spinners wobble.

LAKE ACCESS

From Dawson Creek head south on hwy 2 for about 30

kilometers. Turn right (south-west) at the community of Tupper and follow the gravel road for another 30 kilometers.

The gravel road is rough in spots and may be more dif-ficult to navigate in wet weather. One Island Lake Provincial Park, located on the southeast shore of the lake, has a boat launch and vehicle acces-

sible campsites. Camping is available on a first come

QUICK FACTS



North Cameron Lake is a popular and easily acces-

sible local lake right near Hudson’s Hope. Close to town, yet far enough away for a retreat, Cameron Lakes offer great fish-ing for all.

Many years ago, North Cameron Lake was stocked with walleye. Now the lake is home to a natu-rally sustaining walleye popula-tion. These feisty cool water fish are a treat to go after.

You’ll want to get near the bot-tom when you’re targetting wall-eye, as they prefer to feed in the depths. Look for structure as well, something that is no prob-lem in North Cameron Lake. Particularly in the winter, wall-eye will hold near the dropoffs in the lake.

Other species in North Cameron Lake are rainbow trout and whitefish. Small flatfish and spinners are good choices for targetting rainbow trout. Spoons can work well in cooler tempera-tures when the trout are more actively feeding near the sur-face.

Remember that motorized boats are not permitted on Cameron Lakes. Take a paddle along the east side of the lake, near the picnic area. Also try your luck

moving into the south end. Here the water is not as deep, but there is ample habitat and cover for foraging fish.

Have you got a story to tell about fishing North Cameron Lake? Visit the lake page at www.anglersatlas.com/lakes/1398 to share your experiences. Now Angler’s Atlas members can “follow” their favourite lakes and experts! Get notified as soon as new information is posted about your local lakes. Visit www.anglersatlas.com for more information.

LAKE ACCESS

From Hudson’s Hope, head south along Highway 29

for approximately 29 kilome-tres. There are turn-offs into the campground and picnic area.

Cameron Lake is one of the few lakes that offers good swimming during the sum-mer months. A favourite for locals, it does not allow motorized vessels, so provides a more relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. The park offers twenty dry sites, outhouses, fire pits, swimming, hiking, fishing, playground, and a boat launch.

Other species in North Cameron Lake are rainbow trout and whitefish. Small flatfish and spinners are good choices for targetting rainbow trout. Spoons can work well in cooler tempera-tures when the trout are more actively feeding near the sur-face.

Remember that motorized boats are not permitted on Cameron Lakes. Take a paddle along the east side of the lake, near the picnic area. Also try your luck

moving into the south end. Here the water is not as deep, but there is ample habitat and cover for foraging fish.

LAKE ACCESS

From Hudson’s Hope, head south along Highway 29

for approximately 29 kilome-tres. There are turn-offs into the campground and picnic area.

Cameron Lake is one of the few lakes that offers good swimming during the sum-mer months. A favourite for locals, it does not allow motorized vessels, so provides a more relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. The park offers twenty dry sites, outhouses, fire pits, swimming, hiking, fishing, playground, and a boat launch.

Quality laKe

Good sized trout are just one of the attributes that make

Quality Lake an attractive fam-ily fishing spot. As one of the region’s Family Fishing Waters, it is a great place for children or beginners to practise and test their skills.Every spring Quality Lake is stocked with catchable sized rainbow trout. In 2013, Quality Lake was stocked with 1,525 such trout. In the nutrient-laden waters of this lake, the trout grow large quite quickly, which makes for a superb opportunity for anglers of all ages. Trolling is a great way to cover

a lot of distance in a relative-ly short amount of time.

Try trolling around shoal and drop off areas. A wide variety of hatch-

es occurs throughout the season. Black,

green or red doc spratleys can

be good produc-

e r s .

Other fly patterns that may work well are those which can imi-tate a variety of insects. Woolly buggers, Muddler Minnows and chironomid patterns are all good choices.Brook trout are also present in Quality Lake. Troll slowly through cool water and try small lures such as a Panther Martin or a small Len Thompson. Black leeches, damsel flies and dragon flies are good fly choices. Early mornings and later eve-nings are the best time to go after brook trout, as this is when they are most active. They pre-fer cool water in the 10 to 12 degree celcius range. If you’re trolling, try to get your fly or lure down to this level. Spring is the best time of year to go after brook trout.

LAKE ACCESS

From Tumbler Ridge follow the Heritage Highway north

for about 7 kilometers. Turn right on the Bearhole Lake Road, just before crossing Quality Creek. Follow Bearhole Lake Road about 6 kilometers to the cul-vert crossing at the lake’s outlet. From here, a 100 meter walking trail provides access to the north end of the lake.

stewaRt laKe

Every year, rainbow trout are stocked in Stewart

Lake, west of Dawson Creek, and in 2013, 2,500 rainbow trout were released. For Stewart Lake, the trout are Pennask, which are a large strain of rainbow trout from Pennask

Lake in the south.

The Pennask strain, ideal for lakes with a diverse insect population, are well-suited to small lakes such as Stewart. They can grow quite large feeding only on insects. They are known for their jumping ability and are most active at dusk.

When target-ting these fish, try trolling flies such as red or green doc spratleys.

Leeches may also be

a good choice. If you

are matching your flies to an

emerging insect, it pays to know the

patterns of the insect you are imitating. For example, damsel flies emerging will head straight up and then to the water’s edge,

while dragon flies will head for the edge

before swimming up the water column.

Stewart Lake is quite shallow, and fishing dur-ing the mid-summer can be challenging. Be creative with your choice of lures and flies, and don’t be afraid to experi-ment.Please consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations before heading out. There is a 10 horsepower limit in place for Stewart Lake.Also, visit the Stewart Lake page to share your tips, vid-eos and map markers: www.anglersatlas.com/lakes/1777.

LAKE ACCESS

From Dawson Creek, head west along Highway 97

for approximately 48 kilome-tres. Turn right (north) onto the Stewart Lake Forest Service Road. Travel along this road approximately 27 kilometers to the Forest Service Recreation Site on the west side of the lake. A short trail from the site leads to Stewart Lake. The access road is suitable for 2 wheel drive, however may be rough in wet weather.© The Angler’s Atlas

suMMit laKe

Stone Mountain Provincial Park is spectacular, and the

scenery will not disappoint. The fishery on Summit Lake is equally outstanding. Stone Mountain Provincial Park is one of the most incredi-ble in the province for its scen-ery and terrain. Much of the park is within the alpine-tundra geoclimatic zone, which means that only the hardiest of plant species sur-vive.

The wildlife are abundant in the valleys around Stone Mountain, however, and be sure to be prepared for wil-derness camping and all that entails. Lorence Forsberg from Wapiti Sports in Fort Nelson says that there are brown trout in Summit Lake.“Basically, people could use a Mepps for Summit Lake,” Forsberg says. “Gold, char-treuse, lime green, orange, those are all good colours to try.”There are reports that there are rainbow trout in Summit Lake

as well.

In the 1980s, this

lake was stocked with rainbow trout,

though stocking has been discontinued for Summit

Lake.Cory Koenig, expert fly tier and owner of Webflyz BC (www.webflyz.com), says that for the trout, try a 6 to 9 weight rod and line for fly fishing. Include a sink tip to get down to the fish, if they are not inter-ested in the surface offerings. If you’re gear fishing, an assortment of any salt or fresh water spinners, lures, spoons and flatfish will bring you suc-cess. There are also mountain white-fish in Summit Lake. Whitefish will more often go after smaller offerings. Bottom-living aquat-ic insects and sometimes small fish are its food of choice. These fish have no teeth and soft mouths, and can slip off

hooks easily.

For great local informa-tion and expert fishing tips, stop by Wapiti Sports in Fort Nelson and talk with Lorence Forsberg and the help-ful staff.Also check out www.webflyz.com for some fantastic hand-tied flies.

swan laKe

While shallow, Swan Lake supports a great fishery,

though not for trout. Instead, this lake is a prime walleye and pike lake. As well, yellow perch and burbot reside here.

Walleye make for good fishing, and Swan Lake is easily fished f r o m shore o r

by boat. Boating will provide access to bigger fish, however young anglers may have just as much fun casting from shore.

When going after walleye, a rubber jig (a hook with a weighted head)

and night crawlers can be consis-tent producers. Brian Landry from Corlane Sporting Goods in Dawson Creek says that

anglers will want to keep their jigs

small.

Crankbaits can yield good results as well, either casting or trolling

along the shoals. Walleye will become more

active as the weather warms, mak-

ing Swan Lake a good mid-summer destination.

Please note that Swan Lake is now catch-and-release only for wall-eye. Please consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations for more

information.

Fishing for pike can be an excit-ing challenge as well. Pike prefer rocky points, shoals and cover, and will often go after bright colours. Brian suggests larger jigs for pike fishing, and don’t forget a wire leader. Good spoons to try would be a Len Thompson yellow and red Five of Diamonds spoon. Crankbaits, spinners and plugs can also be effective for pike.

Wapiti Lake, a hike-in treat, is large and deep, with

absolutely stunning scenery. The snow-peaked mountains provide the backdrop to this breathtaking lake. The fishery here gets very little pressure due to its remote location, and can reward anglers with large bull trout.

Wapiti Lake is home to bull trout. Once thought to be the same spe-cies as Dolly Varden, bull trout are distinguished by their larger, flat-ter heads. Please bear in mind that bull trout are a blue-listed spe-cies, and special regulations apply throughout the Peace Region.

B r i a n

Without licence fees, there’d be a lot less fish.When you buy a fishing licence, you help the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stock more than 800 lakes a year. You also help fund our research, conservation and education programs, plus create more fishing spots close to home. So thanks for doing your part. You’re making fishing in BC better than ever.
