Fehr Lake Fishing in Thompson-Nicola Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Look for Fehr Lake in Thompson-Nicola Regional District, British Columbia. This is lake country bush ground. Around 14 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. There is roughly 2.2 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Start from Logan Lake, 24 km down the road. Ashcroft is 30 km and Brocklehurst 32 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Fehr Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name Chinook salmon, sockeye salmon and Coho salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Fehr Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -6°C to 17°C. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late March. The season between ice runs from about late March to late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Fehr Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Bull Lake is 5.4 km distant. Signs at Fehr Lake carry more weight than any list.
