Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Cariboo Regional District names sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon and bull trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Sherman Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at Sherman Lake.
