LeRoy Lake Fishing in Thompson-Nicola Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  LeRoy Lake belongs to Thompson-Nicola Regional District, British Columbia. Land around it is mixed forest. Small at around 10 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Around 1.7 km of margin, front to back. Logan Lake is the closest town at 10 km. The nearest city of size is Kamloops, 49 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on LeRoy Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Thompson-Nicola Regional District list Chinook salmon, sockeye salmon and Coho salmon. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. LeRoy Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -7°C in December to roughly 14°C in August. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. The season on LeRoy Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows a campsite some 320 m from the water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Billy Lake, 2.3 km out. Treat access at LeRoy Lake as something to verify.
