About Chilliwack Lake

Chilliwack Lake sits in British Columbia, Canada and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Chilliwack Lake come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

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 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 Bull trout

    Bull trout often lurk near structure like fallen trees or undercut banks, so target these areas with your presentations.
