About Ross Lake
Anglers know Ross Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of British Columbia, Canada. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Ross Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Brook trout
Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.
- For Dolly varden
Dolly Varden often hold near structure like fallen logs or undercut banks, so target these areas; vary your retrieve speed until you find what they are hitting.
