• Where to Fish on Clegg Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Metro Vancouver Regional District include white sturgeon, Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Clegg Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 0°C to 16°C. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan around that when you fish Clegg Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. 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. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Elsay Lake is 2.1 km off. Check the position on Clegg Lake before loading the car.
