I'm Rlll

Prince George anglers can now enjoy two great fishing platforms on Shane Lake, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Polar Coachman Fly Fishing Club, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund, the Ministry of Environment and the City of Prince George. The second platform was built on the western shore of the lake and is designed to make it easier to access deeper water from shore. This is especially helpful when the weather warms up and the trout go deep. This initiative was spearheaded by the late Bob Graham, who championed the process and made sure all the partners were aligned and moving forward. The City of Prince George has named the section of trail leading to the dock in his honour. Shane Lake is very productive, with a lot of food for the fish. As a result, the trout grow fast. During the cooler seasons, the fish are found throughout the lake and can be easily caught from the dock at the northeast edge of the lake. Shane Lake is stocked and in 2018 3,000 rainbow trout were released. In the heat of summer, the fish will generally be found in the deeper water. Anglers can visit the new dock on the western shore or carry in a small boat to access the deeper sections of the lake. Several members of the Angler’s Atlas have shared their reports and stories on the site. Check out the Shane Lake page at anglersatlas.com for these great stories and photos! LAKE ACCESS The lake is located within Forests For the World, a park area managed by the City of Prince George. From downtown, take 15th Avenue towards the university, and turn right on Foothills Boulevard just before the hill. Follow Foothills about a kilometre to Cranbrook Hill Rd. on the left (west) side of the road. Follow Cranbrook Hill Road up the hill to Kueng Road, on the left (south). Turn here and follow to the end of the road where the parking lot is located. The lake is a short, 10-15 minute walk from the parking lot. Canoes and small boats can be packed into the lake, or you can choose to fish right off the dock. To access the new dock, follow the trail along the northern shore of the lake and then turn left (south) onto another trail that follows the western shore of the lake.

Shane Lake's Dock Gets a Boost

Shane Lake's biggest dock recently got an update when the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC added five metres to it. The biggest boost for local anglers will be in the spring and fall, when the fish are closer to shore. See the videos here: http://www.ckpg.com/2015/09/30/local-lakes-get-docked-and-stocked/

Todays Catch: Feb 19th 2015

So, there is still fish in that lake. We had quite a few people tell us to not bother trying, it's probably fished out or had winter kill, etc. But we (my son) caught these two. Plus we had many more bites. Maybe it was only these two biting, lol. But we will take them. Nice day to go out.

Still Producing?

Hey, Was wondering if anyone knows if this lake is still producing fish through the ice?

Scouts release fish into Shane

The Prince George scouts helped release fish into Shane Lake earlier this year, at the grand opening of the Polar Coachmen's new fishing dock (on the other side of the lake).

Kids Catch

Lots of rainbows in Shane Lake. My two girls were catching plenty of these beautiful fish on September 20, 2009 - the bite was on! The flesh is very pink, and quite tasty!

Good fishing at South-West End

There have been reports of good fishing near the south-west end of the lake. You may want to hike in a small boat to get to the spot, as it is not easily accessible from shore.
