About WOLF LAKE

Wolf Lake is a popular fishing destination for freshwater anglers, with catches up to six pounds. Bruce Bolton is the trout specialist at Tyee Marine in Courtenay. He says that late February and March is a huge month for this lake.

“The fish are getting ready to spawn at that time,” says Bolton, adding that the fish like “big presentations like Crokodiles, big leeches and big Muddler Minnows ... five sometimes six inches long.”

The goal is to show strong movement, articulating the lures and flies so they move around. During the summer, trolling and fly fishing are popular on the lake. Worms always work well. In 2014, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocked 2,500 cutthroat trout in Wolf Lake. The Angler’s Atlas has started a new program for our members.
