About Buntzen Lake
Buntzen Lake, in British Columbia, Canada, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Buntzen Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

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 Northern pikeminnow
Focus on areas with structure like submerged trees or rock piles, as Northern pikeminnow often ambush prey from these locations; vary your retrieve until you find what triggers a strike.
- For Mottled sculpin
When fishing for mottled sculpin, focus on areas with rocky bottoms and slow-moving water, presenting your bait or lure close to the bottom.
