Fishing at Old Faddy Lake, British Columbia, British Columbia

• Overview

  British Columbia in British Columbia is where Old Faddy Lake sits. The bank gives way to northern bush. Roughly 1.97 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. There is roughly 15 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. Head to Watson Lake, 31 km away, for anything you forgot.

• Where to Fish on Old Faddy Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. At Old Faddy Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. A drop in wind often turns the surface quiet and the fishing slow.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 14°C, the coldest about -22°C. This far north the hard season runs and runs. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Anyone fishing Old Faddy Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits
