• Where to Fish on Wolf Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fraser Valley Regional District records list white sturgeon, sockeye salmon, Coho salmon, Chum salmon and Chinook salmon among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Wolf Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about 1°C. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. It sets the rhythm of the year at Wolf Lake.
