Lafarge Lake near Coquitlam: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Metro Vancouver Regional District in British Columbia is where Lafarge Lake sits. Beyond the shoreline you have pine and hardwood. Surface area runs to about 5 hectares — small enough to read in one session. It is low-lying compared with other British Columbia water we list. You are 0.5 km from Coquitlam. After that come Canyon Springs at 0.7 km and New Horizons at 0.9 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lafarge Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Metro Vancouver Regional District cover white sturgeon, Coho salmon and sockeye salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Lafarge Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about 2°C. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Lafarge Lake fishes to that pattern most years.
