About Hayward Lake
Tucked into British Columbia, Canada, Hayward Lake is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Hayward Lake should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- 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 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 Chum salmon
Use scent attractants on your lures; chum salmon have a good sense of smell. Vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are responding to.
