Kondor Lake Fishing in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Set in Cariboo Regional District, Kondor Lake is a British Columbia water. It stands 1,621 metres above sea level. Around 10 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. The bank runs about 1.4 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. It is a small entry by Cariboo Regional District standards. Nearest town is Hanceville, 91 km off. Anahim Lake lies 121 km off, Williams Lake another 157 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Kondor Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon and bull trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Read Kondor Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -9°C to 10°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around mid May. Climate averages put the opening at about mid May and the closing near early November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That shapes the year on Kondor Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lincoln Lake, 12 km away. Rules at Kondor Lake are worth checking on the day.
