Kloh Lake Fishing Guide, Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Kloh Lake lies in Cariboo Regional District, in British Columbia. The surroundings are pine and birch. With some 44 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The edge covers about 6.1 km, enough to hold several distinct areas. Hanceville is the closest town at 16 km. Kamloops is the closest city, 219 km away. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Kloh Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Cariboo Regional District records list sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon and bull trout among the fish reported. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Kloh Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -10°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early April. Ice clears near early April and comes back about late November in a typical year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. On Kloh Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Beaumont Lake is 9.3 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Kloh Lake for certain.
