Tezzeron Lake, north of Fort St. James, is a large lake with plenty of rainbow and char. The recreational opportunities on Tezzeron Lake are numerous. There are two resorts and a Forest Service Recreation Site located on the lake. Janet Turnbull, host of Tezzeron Resort, says that rainbow trout and lake char offer the best angling opportunities. Dan Moffat from Northern Hardware in Prince George says that a Halo Fisher FST is a good lure to try. Put on an 8 to 10 ounce weight and run it behind the prop wash. A good standby lure would be an Apex in green, black and silver. Dan suggests experimenting with different lengths of line and trolling speeds. Try trolling out from points of land. Dan notes that a good fish finder is important to find shoals. "There are big rocks throughout the lake," he says. To learn more about fishing this lake, drop by Northern Hardware, and talk to Dan and the knowledgeable staff. LAKE ACCESS Tezzeron Lake is located approximately 50 kilometers northwest of Fort St. James. From Prince George, head west past Vanderhoof to Fort St. James.

There are two resorts along the southern end of the lake. Tezzeron Resort, a family resort, can be reached at (250) 565-0446.
