Fishing
Report: Lac La Hache is known for it's kokanee fishing,
although rainbow and lake trout are often sought after. There are
reports of lake trout up to 30 pounds with the rainbow and kokanee
averaging from a pound to a pound and a half; rainbow sometimes
going heavier. The lake trout are primarily taken with deep trolling
while spinning lures seem to be the most popular for the kokanee
and rainbow. Ice fishing is a favourite winter pastime on this lake.
Viewscape:
Gently rolling hills covered with forest and grassland are observed
along the lake. Private and summer dwellings are much in evidence
along the eastern shore while the western shore remains more forested.
A number of small forested islands dot the lake.
Shoreline:
Gravelly shoreline interspersed with grasses, willow and small shrubs
and rushes with alders and poplars in evidence.

check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start fishing
a new lake.
