Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC named this lake one of the "Top Spots to Take the Kids Fishing" Durrance Lake (near Victoria) Durrance Lake is a great spot for a daytrip, with picnic areas, an easy hike that circles the lake, and a dock to fish for stocked catchable-sized rainbow trout.

Smallmouth bass only "Possible" species?

How is that only "possible"? It seems some days that smallies are ALL that you can catch here.

Sunfish

A small creek flows in here.

This section of the lake is marshy and shallow. If you are trolling, avoid this area

Public washroom

After you launch you will have to watch out for the sunken logs which are numerous.

caught a turtle

oddly enough the only thing in this lake other than teenagers is crey fish and red ear slider turtles. other than that, lots and lots of people. i wouldn't recommend fishing here unless you were going for turtle.
