About TRESTON LAKE

Just south of Kitsumkalum Lake are Redsand and Treston lakes, located in the Redsand Demonstration Forest. The lakes are part of the Kitsumkalum River and offer good fishing for cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden, both with lures and fly patterns. Along with the fabulous fishing, enjoy walking and biking trails and spectacular mountain views.

Fly fishers can try emerging minnow and chironomid patterns on the bottom or a small midge pattern for the surface. Fish the emerging minnow pattern near the lake bottom to imitate a small fry.

Lure fishers can try trolling a Wedding Band with worm. A maggot also works well.

If you are going after cutthroat, black and silver colour combinations can work well. This applies to both fly patterns and lures.

The west end of Treston Lake and north-west corner of Redsand Lake are suitable for belly boats and pontoon boats. It is recommended for anglers to use a larger boat on the eastern portion of the lakes as the current from the Kitsumkalum River is quite strong.

Please be sure to consult both the B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations as well as the federal Fisheries and Oceans regulations.

LAKE ACCESS

From Terrace, follow Highway 16 across the Kitsumkalum River and turn right (north) at the Kalum Forest Service Road. Continue down this road about 26 km to the Redsand Demonstration Forest.

Although there are three camping locations within the demonstration forest, only one is located on Redsand Lake. This large site has 20 vehicle units for camping. The site is accessible with 2WD and is connected to a wheelchair-accessible interpretive trail.

The Redsand Demonstration Forest is a popular destination that offers a wide range of recreational activities. There are three campgrounds, three trails and a variety of ecotypes within the demonstration forest, which also has a self-guided interpretive loop.
