Sasamat Lake

Sasamat Lake in British Columbia, Canada fishes the way most coastal venues do: best on the moving tide, particularly the run-in. Bait choice on the salt depends on what's around — small live baits, soft plastics matched to local forage, or simple cut bait fished on the bottom all have their day at Sasamat Lake. Wind, swell, and water clarity will all change which approach works.

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 Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Coastal cutthroat trout

  Focus on fishing near structure like fallen logs, undercut banks, and overhanging vegetation, as coastal cutthroat trout often ambush prey from these locations.
