Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Survey and observation records for Capital Regional District include Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and Chum salmon. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Boneyard Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August runs about 16°C on average, January about 2°C. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That is the shape of the year on Boneyard Lake. Autumn feeding runs harder as the light drops away.
