• Overview

  Bennie Lake is a Metro Vancouver Regional District water, British Columbia side. Tidal water begins 13 km from here. The whole thing is a single swim; walk it in a minute. Our Metro Vancouver Regional District list holds plenty of bigger water. The closest town, Burke Mountain, is 9.8 km distant. Hockaday is 10 km and Westwood Plateau 11 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Bennie Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Metro Vancouver Regional District records list white sturgeon, Coho salmon, sockeye salmon and rainbow trout among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Bennie Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 15°C; the cold one sits at -1°C. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. At Bennie Lake the season follows that pattern closely. After a storm, the water clears from the edges inwards.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Dennett Lake is 2.2 km off. Ask locally about Bennie Lake if anything is unclear.
