Boat Launch with small cul de sac parking

Caught a northern pikeminnow from the boat launch. Was using a small five of diamonds spoon.

Bridge lake is dotted with islands and shoals, providing a diversity of fishing holes to explore. It has good fishing for rainbow trout, kokanee and burbot. Mark Roseboom, from Lone Butte Sporting Goods, says that the lake trout in Bridge Lake “sometimes push a little over 30 lbs, and people have the best success with larger spoons or plugs down deep.” If you’re going after rainbow trout, Roseboom suggests that anglers head to the shoals and around the island drop-offs. “You’ll have great success with flies,” he says. “Bridge Lake has great mayfly and sedge hatches.” Danny Coyne, from BC Fishn’, notes that kokanee can be more sensitive than trout to catch and release. Summer or winter, your best bet is to release in the water. Also, use a soft tip to target kokanee. See more of Coyne’s suggestions and articles at bcfishn.com. LAKE ACCESS Bridge Lake is located along Highway 24, which wraps around its southern shore. Bridge Lake Road North wraps around the rest of the lake. Moondance Bay Resort is on the northwest corner of the lake. From Highway 24, turn north onto Bell Road, at the western end of the lake. This road turns into Johnstone Road, and in a few short minutes you will arrive at Moondance Bay. Bridge Lake Provincial Park is at the opposite corner of the lake and has 13 vehicle accessible campsites and a concrete boat launch.
