North Cameron Lake is a popular and easily accessible local lake right near Hudson’s Hope. Close to town, yet far enough away for a retreat, Cameron Lakes offer great fishing for all.

Many years ago, North Cameron Lake was stocked with walleye. Now the lake is home to a naturally sustaining walleye population. These feisty cool water fish are a treat to go after.

You’ll want to get near the bottom when you’re targetting walleye, as they prefer to feed in the depths. Look for structure as well, something that is no problem in North Cameron Lake. Particularly in the winter, walleye will hold near the dropoffs in the lake.

Other species in North Cameron Lake are rainbow trout and whitefish. Small flatfish and spinners are good choices for targetting rainbow trout. Spoons can work well in cooler temperatures when the trout are more actively feeding near the surface.

Remember that motorized boats are not permitted on Cameron Lakes. Take a paddle along the east side of the lake, near the picnic area. Also try your luck moving into the south end. Here the water is not as deep, but there is ample habitat and cover for foraging fish.
