• Where to Fish on Meadow Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Comox Valley Regional District, recorded fish include Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout, Chum salmon and pink salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Meadow Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -2°C in December up to 12°C in August. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That shapes the year on Meadow Lake.
