Lake Trout

Northern British Columbia Lake Trout

Our Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations live in some of the cleanest waters in British Columbia. You can really tell the difference between the average Rainbow, and one that came from a watershed completely void of industrial activity. These fish are tenacious feeders and hard fighters with not one of them originating from a hatchery. You will be amazed at the almost fluorescent flesh that looks just as good on the barbecue as it does on the end of your line.

Our Cabins

Our Cabins

We accommodate our guests with 5 different cabins strewn around the lakes in the territory. With cabins tucked strategically around crystal lakes through the wilderness, expect to have a memorable fishing trip in Northern British Columbia. The cabins are situated on Toodoggone Lake, Chukachida Lake, Chukachida River, Metsantan Lake, and Moosehorn Lake.

Fishing Techniques

Having a light-medium action rod with 6 to 10 pound test will insure an exciting catch with some fast-paced action. However a heavier set will also get the job done. 

Light lures which mimic a wounded fish, for example small spinners, spoons and jerkbaits. They are more likely to bite when bugs are active, as it is considered feeding time. After snatching your bait, they are known for taking off with little to no notice so make sure you have your eye on your rod.

Lake Trout tend to avoid bright lights, which causes the best time of day to fish them to be in early morning or late in the day. Overcast days will also be a high time, so make sure you have brighter jerkbaits. All in all have fun and you may hook onto a monster trophy Lake Trout.

Fishing Equipment


Fishers should be equipped with the proper tackles. There are several fishing tackle assortments. Every angler must be supplied by at least a hook, bait, and fishing line.
