• Where to Fish on Majuba Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Cariboo Regional District cover sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon, bull trout, Coho salmon and longnose sucker. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Majuba Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -9°C in January and 13°C in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from mid April until about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It holds true on Majuba Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Tsayaguigz Lake at 3.8 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Majuba Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
