Fishing
Report: Tsuniah Lake offers an incredible fishing experience.
Fast paced action for wild rainbows in the 1 to 2 lb range. Flies,
spinning and trolling gear all work well. Fishing stays good from
June through October. Beware of strong winds. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
Viewscape:
Spectacular. Tsuniah is located at the base of two opposing 8,000
ft. mountains. The surrounding countryside is mostly pine/spruce
forest, however, some poplars are found immediately surrounding
the lake.
Shoreline:
Mostly gravel with alder, grass and willows.

Lakes
Choelquoit
Lake - Choelquoit Lake is found on the Chilko Lake
Road just before arriving at Chilko or Tsuniah Lakes. Choelquoit
is reported to have some very large wild stock rainbow. Try trolling
with hot shots, wedding bands, lures, etc. Angler pressure is
low. There is a BCFS day use site with picnic tables and outhouses.
Chances are you will see windsurfers using part of this lake.
