Fishing at Lake Rosemarie, Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Lake Rosemarie stands in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The bank is 1,242 metres above sea level. For supplies, Union Bay is 15 km out.

Close by you also have: Sundew Lake at 1.3 km, Beaufort Lake just 4.3 km, Kim Lake at 7.5 km, Arum Lake just 8.2 km and Pear Lake at 8.3 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Rosemarie

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Comox Valley Regional District include Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lake Rosemarie the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, August reads 15°C and January reads 0°C. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. At Lake Rosemarie the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Sundew Lake at 1.3 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lake Rosemarie should be assumed from this page alone.
