Lac Des Roches is located along Highway 24, often referred to as the “Fishing Highway”. It is known for having an excellent trout fishery, and is stocked each year with rainbow trout. In addition to stocking, effort has been spent on other enhancement activities. A spawning platform has been installed, along with the placement of spawning gravel to enhance the natural reproduction of trout in Lac Des Roches. The lake is renowned for its Mayfly hatch, usually occuring during May and June, which provides some of the best fly fishing in the region. Fly fishers from around the world come to the lake specifically for this hatch. During the summer months, the deep, cool waters of Lac Des Roches help maintain good fishing conditions. While fishing during these warm months, try the deeper sections of the lake, as well as the drop offs. Trolling is a popular method of fishing this lake, and in the fall, try trolling leech patterns. Some other popular fly patterns include damsel and dragonfly nymphs, caddisflies and chironomids. LAKE ACCESS Highway 24 runs east-west and joins two major highways in BC: Highway 97 and Highway 5. From Highway 97 the turnoff is located about 10 km south of 100 Mile House. Follow the highway (east) for about 50 km to the lake. Traveling along Highway 5 the turnoff is located in the town of Little Fort, about 95 km north of Kamloops. Head west along Highway 24 for approximately 30 km to the lake.
