Nice laker and a great release

Fraser Lake is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Its unlimited recreational opportunities, beautiful scenery and great parks are a good complement to the fabulous fishing. Three beaches, including Beaumont Provincial Park, are great starting points for your fishing adventure. Kokanee, lake trout, burbot and rainbow trout are all present in Fraser Lake. Because Fraser Lake is large and relatively deep, it does not suffer the summer doldrums as shallower lakes do. This makes for prime fishing all year. When going after rainbow trout, local angler Mark Parker suggests that the best “all-around lures” will be the Willow Leaf and Wedding Band, or a small Apex in any colour. A small F7 flatfish is also successful. Fly fishers will see best results with a muddler minnow or a leech pattern. Anglers targeting kokanee can also use a Willow Leaf and Wedding Band. There are many excellent fishing spots on Fraser Lake due to the many small bays. Parker suggests that fly fishers will do best among the weedbeds. “The area around the river mouth is great for trout, and the Ormond Creek area has prime trout fishing too,” says Parker. LAKE ACCESS There are several access points to Fraser Lake. Beaumont Provincial Park and a Forest Service Recreation Site are just two possibilities for accomodation. Beaumont Provincial Park, accessed from Highway 16, provides 49 private campsites with open views of Fraser Lake. Facilities provided include flush toilets, water, wood, and sani-stations during the summer months. The park also has a day-use area as well as a sandy beach for swimming. A new self-guided interpretive trail offers eight signs that provide information on plants, animals, and history of the area. The Recreation Site on Peterson’s Beach also has a good boat launch. From Nautley, turn onto Stella Road and follow the directions. Or, through the Stellako Reserve, turn onto Stella Road. Parker also notes that there is an excellent day-use area right in the town of Fraser Lake along the highway. Picnic tables and a good boat launch are just a couple of the amenities provided there.
