Fishing Fishpot Lake

After the lake has turned over in late May the fishing becomes increasingly productive until mid August when the fishing slows down. We are restocked the first week in June with 5000 trout annually. September and October sees a return to greater productivity and often the larger fish are caught at this time.

For fly fishers, Doc spratleys, half backs, woolly buggers, tom thumbs and dragon fly nymphs work well. Gear fishers should try a small willow leaf and either a green or red wedding band with a worm for luring in the trout. Either a silver or a silver and blue flatfish also work well.

A short drive from Fishpot Lake are several other lakes, rivers and creeks that also provide excellent fishing with fish ranging in size from ½ lb to 8lbs. Local creeks supply trout, bull trout, rocky mtn. white fish, ling cod, spring salmon and various bottom feeders. The Blackwater river is a 45 min. drive away and it has excellent dry fly fishing.

We sell fishing tackle, bait and licenses. You can smoke your own fish whilst you are here or we will do it for you. Also, we rent boats and fishing rods for the whole family to enjoy.

If you are a fisherman there is something here that will suit your taste.
