Logus Lake, British Columbia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Logus Lake is listed under Regional District of Central Kootenay, British Columbia. Elevation runs to 1,122 metres. It covers about 7 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Nakusp lies 60 km from the water. The nearest city of size is Kelowna, 187 km away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Logus Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name rainbow trout, sockeye salmon and mountain whitefish. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Logus Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 13°C in August and bottom out at -9°C in January. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about mid November in an average year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. On Logus Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Duncan Lake at 7.3 km is the nearest alternative. Where Logus Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
