About Williston Lake

Set in British Columbia, Canada, Williston Lake is a reservoir that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Williston Lake usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Lake char

    Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.

  • For Lake trout

    Target deep water near structure or drop-offs, especially during warmer months, and vary your retrieve until you find what works.

  • For Brown trout

    When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
