Ferguson Lake is a small lake within the City of Prince George, along the northeast edge of the city limits. The lake had been stocked with brook trout for several years, but starting in 2007, the lake is being developed as an urban fishery. Each year since then, volunteers from the Spruce City Wildlife Association released rainbow trout into Ferguson Lake. In 2018, 3,000 Rainbow Trout were released. The club developed this location into a popular local fishery for anglers and educators. In 2009, a larger dock was installed, and since then it has become a favourite local spot. It is easy to get to the dock and the fishing is fantastic. This lake has been designated a family fishing water by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Family fishing waters are so named because they are easily accessible and the lakes boast ample opportunities to fish from shore or a pier. LAKE ACCESS From Prince George, head north along Hwy 97 to Kelly Road North, still within city limits. Turn left (west) onto North Kelly Road and continue for approximately 1 km, then turn left onto Ferguson Lake Road. Stay on this road (keeping right at the fork where it turns to gravel). The lake is located on the left side of road. There is a small parking area and there is a dock on the lake. It is ideally suited for small watercraft, and no motors are permitted. The lake is surrounded by a walking trail and nature preserve.

Caught two Rainbows today. 3/4 pound and 1-1/2 pound both from the dock

Can anyone tell me how the fishing is at Tudyah lake?

Fish Release - Third Round

It's fun catching fish, but the Spruce City Wildlife Association also showed the kids how much fun it was to release small fish into the lake. This picture shows Denise Collett, Spruce City President, and two kids walking a bucket of fish down to the lake for release.
