About SULPHUROUS LAKE
Get ready for the Sulphurous Lake Volunteer Fire Department Fishing Derby, which is traditionally held in August each year. The derby takes place at Sulphurous and Hathaway Lakes. Each year, prizes are awarded. Bring your kids and cameras as fire trucks will be on display. Refreshments and lunch are available. Tickets are usually available at Sulphurous Lake Resort, Moosehaven Resort, Hathaway Resort and from any executive member.
Sulphurous Lake is known for crystal-clear water and great fishing. Several species of fish reside in this lake including rainbow trout, lake trout, kokanee and burbot. Both kokanee and rainbow trout are stocked by the B.C. Freshwater Fisheries Society. Some anglers report catching rainbow trout up to five pounds. Kokanee fishing can be an exciting challenge. They are particular about their food and water temperature preferences. Kokanee will feed on nymphs or insect larvae on occasion, but zooplankton (copepods and Daphnia) are their major
food source.
Lures and bait should therefore be small, and should imitate plankton’s colours and movements. Red and pearl or silver are good combinations to try. In spring and fall, try slow-sinking or floating lines. Weighted lines are best suited for mid-summer to allow you to reach the cooler depths. Trolling with spoons can be an effective technique for rainbows. Metal or silver colours seem to do well in Sulphurous Lake, and red and gold combined with nickel or brass are good choices.
Please note the change in the lake trout fishery: the lake trout daily quota is now one. Lake trout must be released October 1 to November 30th.
