Fishing Tundra Lake in Fraser Valley Regional District, British Columbia

• Overview

  Tundra Lake stands in Fraser Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The ground round it is mixed forest. The water covers some 87 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. A shoreline of some 4.3 km keeps the choices simple. Few waters listed in Fraser Valley Regional District are bigger. Mount Currie sits 36 km from the bank. The nearest city of size is Coquitlam, 103 km away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Tundra Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Fraser Valley Regional District include white sturgeon, sockeye salmon, Coho salmon and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Tundra Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 11°C and January near -8°C on the long-run figures. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Once it clears, about mid May, the fishing comes on quickly. 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. On Tundra Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Caltha Lake at 2.2 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Tundra Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
