Hull Lake near Aberdeen: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Set in Thompson-Nicola Regional District, Hull Lake is a British Columbia water. Elevation runs to 1,034 metres. The water measures roughly 3 hectares, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Aberdeen is the closest place, 9.9 km off. Further out sit Sahali (10 km) and Dufferin (12 km). It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Hull Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Thompson-Nicola Regional District include 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. At Hull Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put August near 15°C and January near -7°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early April. The lid tends to go about early April and return around late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Expect Hull Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is a mapped landing stage 1.3 km away. You can camp about 1.2 km away, going by the mapping. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Edith Lake, 1.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Hull Lake carry more weight than any list.
