Featured Fisheries

With 23,000 lakes over 5 hectares in size to choose from, people fishing in British Columbia may find they have more questions than answers. Where should I go? How do I get there? Is it close enough for a day-trip; or do I need to pack for a weekend or longer? What amenities will I find when I get there? Can I bring my boat? What fish species are present?

Our regional “Featured Fisheries” selections of highlighted waters can help! Access these pages simply by clicking the region of your choice on the map.

Each year we will be expanding our sample list to include more great fishing waters. Bookmark this page to access the current listings in years to come.

Some of our Featured Fisheries opportunities are located in Provincial Parks. For only these highlighted waters, visit Fishing BC Parks.

Happy Fishing!
