Fishing at Sedum Lake, Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Sedum Lake is set in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The surroundings are lake country bush. Small enough that any disturbance crosses the whole surface. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Cariboo Regional District. Anahim Lake sits 33 km from the bank. The nearest city of size is Kamloops, 418 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Sedum Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Cariboo Regional District records list sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon and bull trout among the fish reported. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Sedum Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, August reads 10°C and January reads -10°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Winter locks it down, and mid May brings it back. The season between ice runs from about mid May to early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan any trip to Sedum Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Arnica Lake sits 2.7 km off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Sedum Lake before loading the car.
