Trembleur Lake, British Columbia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Where to Fish on Trembleur Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako: sockeye salmon, Coho salmon, Chinook salmon and pink salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Trembleur Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 13°C and January near -12°C on the long-run figures. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. After late April the shallows warm and the fish move up. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Trembleur Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, McKelvey Lake at 14 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Trembleur Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
