Gracy Lake Fishing near 100 Mile House, British Columbia

• Overview

  The Cariboo Regional District end of British Columbia holds Gracy Lake. The land about it is lake country bush. It runs to roughly 22 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The whole outline is near 3.7 km, and most of it is walkable. Head to 100 Mile House, 20 km away, for anything you forgot. It is 112 km to Kamloops, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Gracy Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Cariboo Regional District names sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon, bull trout, Coho salmon and longnose sucker. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The near bank of Gracy Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -9°C in January and 14°C in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Gracy Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Taylor Lake is 2.3 km distant. Treat access at Gracy Lake as something to verify.
