Fishing
Report: Pillar provides a good Rainbow fishery for trout
up to 2+ lbs. Fly fishermen concentrate their efforts at the north
end of the lake in the large shoal areas. During spring through
early summer there is a good emergence of Chironomids, Caddisfly,
Damsels and Dragons. Trolling small lures, flatfish and spinning
gear also meets with good sucess. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
