Belowe Lake Fishing Guide, North Coast Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Belowe Lake sits within North Coast Regional District in British Columbia. It sits in open valley country. This is sizeable water at about 3.01 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The perimeter runs near 11 km, so plan the walk before you start. Size puts it in the front rank of our North Coast Regional District list. The closest town, Kitimat, is 81 km away. Vancouver sits 644 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Belowe Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in North Coast Regional District include pink salmon, Coho salmon, Chum salmon, sockeye salmon and Chinook salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Belowe Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year August sits at 14°C and January at 0°C. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Belowe Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Battaglia Lake sits 3.8 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Belowe Lake is worth confirming on the day.
