Teegee Lake, British Columbia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Teegee Lake lies in Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, British Columbia. It sits at 834 metres above sea level. Around 11 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Roughly 2.2 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako. Supplies mean a trip to Smithers, 150 km off. Further out sit Telkwa (152 km) and Mackenzie (157 km). Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Teegee Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako include sockeye salmon, Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, pink salmon and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Teegee Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 13°C and January near -14°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly early November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Teegee Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Silver Lake is 10 km distant. What applies at Teegee Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
