Mirror Lake in Metro Vancouver Regional District: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  The Metro Vancouver Regional District end of British Columbia holds Mirror Lake. It stands 261 metres above sea level. The whole thing is a single swim; walk it in a minute. It is a small entry by Metro Vancouver Regional District standards. The nearest town is Yennadon, 5.3 km away. For a city, Coquitlam is 17 km off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Mirror Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Metro Vancouver Regional District list white sturgeon, Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and Chum salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Take Mirror Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 1°C in January and 16°C in August. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan any trip to Mirror Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Mike Lake is 0.8 km off. Nothing on Mirror Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
