Lund Lake Fishing in Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, British Columbia

• Overview

  Lund Lake sits within Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako in British Columbia. The water sits 926 metres up. Roughly 23 hectares: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. With about 2.5 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. For supplies, Burns Lake is 56 km out. Houston follows at 59 km, then Telkwa at 99 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lund Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako records list sockeye salmon, Coho salmon and Chinook salmon among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Lund Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 13°C and January near -9°C on the long-run figures. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lund Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Overnight stays are possible about 470 m out, where camping is mapped. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Snake Lake is 2.6 km off. Signs at Lund Lake carry more weight than any list.
