Dropped into Cobb a week ago without the boat, just try a few casts from shore. Ended up catching 3 rainbows right at launch. Biggest about 18" fish. Tried a bunch of lures but only action was on small brown bingo bug and a black/yellow bingo bug. Pretty happy with casting 20' from shore. Bringin boat next time...

A good day fishing brook trout were biting good. A good time was had by all.

Feeding an Eagle Ice fishing on Cobb Lake February 2020

Cobb Lake is a popular spot about 70 km west of Prince George. The lake supports a healthy population of stocked rainbow and brook trout. In 2018 Coob was stocked with 20,000 brook trout and 10,000 rainbow trout. Dan Moffat from Northern Hardware in Prince George, says that Cobb Lake is a really good spot year round. In the fall, there is little pressure on the lake, and the trout are fattening up for winter. As the weather cools down after the heat of summer, the fish are beginning to be more active again. In the spring and summer, Moffat notes that there are plenty of choices. “The lake is always good for small spinners,” he suggests. Anglers can also try Chironomid patterns and Flatfish. To learn more about fishing this lake, drop by Northern Hardware in downtown Prince George and talk to one of their helpful staff at the fishing counter. LAKE ACCESS From Prince George, follow Highway 16 west for about 65 km, and then turn right (north) at Finnmore Road just before Cluculz Creek. Follow Finnmore Road for 6 km and you will see another road on the right (name unknown). This road is not plowed in the winter and may not be suitable for driving. Continue along this road for a short distance and the recreation site turn off (right) is just past the creek. You can access the lake from there. Nechako White Sturgeon Recovery initiative The District of Vanderhoof is home to the Nechako White Sturgeon Hatchery, which is part of the initiative to recover healthy sturgeon populations in the Nechako River. The hatchery offers tours and information, and is well worth the visit. You can see the sturgeon in their pools, learn about how they grow, and watch them up close and personal. The Recovery Initiative also offers school tours, as well as community projects designed to protect and enhance sturgeon habitat and recovery efforts. Stop by the hatchery, and visit their website at nechakowhitesturgeon.org.

Fishing Tips from the Northern

Cobb Lake is about 70 km west of Prince George and is a popular fishing lake all four seasons. The lake supports a healthy population of rainbow and brook trout and is regularly stocked by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Dan Moffat from Northern Hardware in Prince George, says that Cobb Lake is a really good spot all year round. In the fall, there's little pressure on the lake, and the trout are fattening up for winter. As the weather cools down after the heat of summer, the fish are beginning to be more active again. In the spring and summer, Moffat notes that there are plenty of choices. "The lake is always good for small spinners," he suggests. Anglers can also try chironomids and flatfish. "Another option is a bobber and worm, fishing plain and simple," he adds. When the ice comes off the lake in early May, pay attention to the emerging insects. Often, leeches and chironomids are early-season insects. As the summer progresses, take some time to note dropoff areas and weeds, as these are ideal dwelling places for trout. Cobb Lake is great for families because it’s close to town and easy to get to.
