  Weedon Lake stands in Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, British Columbia. The surface lies 760 metres up. This is sizeable water at about 8.71 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. It is among the larger waters listed here for Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. Nearest town is Mackenzie, 76 km off. Further out sit Fort St. James (81 km) and Prince George (84 km). The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Weedon Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Regional District of Fraser-Fort George include Chinook salmon, sockeye salmon and mountain whitefish. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Weedon Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 15°C, with January the cold end at about -11°C. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Weedon Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Hammett Lake, 10 km away. Where Weedon Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
