Set in British Columbia, Canada, Sunburst Lake is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area.

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 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.

• For Chinook salmon

  Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
