Fishing

Pillar Lake provides a good Rainbow Trout fishery up to 2+ pounds. Fly fishermen have the most success at the north end of the lake in the large shoal areas, where the spring and summer months see a good emergence of Chironomids, Caddisfly, Damsels and Dragons. Trolling small lures, flatfish and spinning gear also meet with good success. You will need a fishing license to fish Pillar Lake - you can get one online at www.fishing.gov.bc.ca. Otherwise, Pillar Lake Resorts has everything you need for a quiet day on the lake, including tackle. Please ensure to bring your own bait. We have a very large collection of beautiful, locally hand-tied flies available.
