Map of The Day: June 22, 2016

Duck Lake is a highly productive waterbody and is known for fantastic bass fishing. The shallow nature of the lake means extensive areas have underwater plants, providing ideal bass habitat. The fishing is good all season; pay special attention to the spawning season. The bass typically spawn in May and June, but remember that from May 15 to June 15, the bass are catch-and-release only. Anglers may want to try the north end of the lake. Plastic worms and leeches work well in the summer, as do Top Water Poppers and Buzz Baits. For flyfishers, leech patterns or a mouse imitation are popular patterns. Only non-motorized boats are permitted on the lake. Please note that permits are required for fishing on all waters within the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, including Duck Lake. For details on acquiring a permit visit www.crestonwildlife.ca or call 250-402-6900. Please consult the B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations for quotas.
