Mirren Lake Fishing in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Mirren Lake is a Comox Valley Regional District water, British Columbia side. The shore lies 31 km out. It runs to roughly 31 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The edge runs 3.0 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. The town to know is Cumberland, 25 km out. Vancouver is the closest city, 166 km away. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Mirren Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. 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. 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. At Mirren Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between December at about -2°C and August at about 11°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Expect Mirren Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Gordon Wood Lake, 0.9 km out. Nothing on Mirren Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
