Lower Mainland Freshwater Lake Report

Ross Lake in Skagit Valley Provincial Park is a good place to check out if you are thinking about doing overnight camping/fishing trips. The lake offers good bull trout and rainbow trout fishing as the cold water drains from the Skagit River keeps the lake cool. These bull trout feed on redside shiner in the lake. Check out the video above for more information. Urban lake fisheries in the Lower Mainland are not so productive now that stockings are completed. Most of the fish are found in the deepest part of the lakes. Your better option right now is to venture out to lakes one or two hours outside of Metro Vancouver. As the weather warms up, you have a bigger chance catching introduced species such as bass and carp than trout. Hicks Lake should still be very productive. Beside the catchable rainbow trout which were stocked a few weeks ago in the lake, anglers can also expect to get into bigger rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and some kokanee. All the fish are down deep right now due to the hot weather, so a boat is required to access these spots. Weaver Lake is producing well. Most of the rainbows are not big but they are plentiful so this is an easy lake to fish for kids. The road up to the lake can be rough so a 4WD drive is best. Cultus Lake in Chilliwack is often overlooked but the fishing can be pretty good. Boat traffic can be heavy so that is one disadvantage. Northern pikeminnow, cutthroat trout, bull trout are your target species. Jones Lake's water level is back to normal height. Most of the rainbow trout and cutthroat trout caught in the lake have been skinny early in the season, most likely due to the lack of food in the lake. Casting small spoons, float fishing with bait such as krill, shrimp, single eggs have been working very well. The road up to the lake is in pretty good shape now that it is quite dry. Chilliwack Lake can be very good during this time of the year, especially in the evening hours, for bull trout and rainbow trout. A boat with a gas motor is usually needed, or you can fish at creek mouths where fish are more likely to congregate. Big schools of sockeye salmon can be seen swimming along the shallow parts of the lake right now. This is quite a sight for those who have never seen it before. Alta Lake in Whistler has a healthy abundance of rainbow trout and also produces large cutthroat trout. There is a bait ban in effect for this lake, so casting lures or fly fishing are the best methods for targeting these fish. This is a catch and release lake. Another lake which we always highly recommend, if you are looking for a family vacation which involves multiple days, is Tunkwa Lake. Tunkwa Lake is excellent during this time of the year due to the heavy "bomber" large chironomid hatches. Rainbow trout which you will encounter are between 1 and 4lb large.
