Fishing at Trout Lake, Fraser Valley Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  British Columbia holds Trout Lake, in Fraser Valley Regional District. It sits at 87 metres above sea level. At about 11 hectares, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The full circuit measures close to 2.0 km on foot. Ground here is low by British Columbia standards. Supplies mean a trip to Harrison Hot Springs, 6.4 km off. Chilliwack is the closest city, 26 km away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Trout Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Fraser Valley Regional District include white sturgeon, sockeye salmon, Coho salmon and Chum salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Trout Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 16°C and January near -1°C on the long-run figures. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Time your trip to Trout Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits
