Hello.

I know many do not like to divulge their secret spots and I understand this. But, is anyone willing to give me some ideas on what lakes have the best fishing for brook trout? Thanks.

Where are you planning to fish? There are quite a few lakes with Brookies in the Interior but not that many on the Coast. More info please.

Sorry. We will be anywhere from the Merritt area to 100 mile house and likely even 150 mile/Williams Lk area...

Thanks

Haven't been there in a while but Beaver Dam Lake south west of 70 mile has brookies.
We found them mostly in the East side of the lake just off the outlet channel.
If all else fails look to the skies..........watch for Osprey and where they are circling and diving.
That's how we found out where they were hidding.
Good luck... be careful on how many you take as they are fall spawners and every one you take will affect the amount of fish in subsquent years.

If you are heading north from Merritt, take hwy 5A and head from there in to Roche lake Provincial Park. Horseshoe Lake has a strong Brookie population.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the fish in this lake are annually stocked and it's my understanding that there is no self-sustaining population.

Try Devil's Lake near Stave Lake in Mission.They are supposed to be in there but be careful,it's a haven for car thiefs because your quite far down the hill. >

The new BC Outdoors has a feature on fishing Brook trout, it looks like a useful read...

Rumour has it that Munro (above Pitt River) has some little brookies in it - if you're prepared to hike in for 3 hours. I've not been up there but wouldn't mind someone going in and letting me know how it went.

Thank you for all your replies. I will check out the article for sure. I am getting super stoked for the trip. Only two weeks now...

20mins from merritt up kay valley really nice spots the first 3 lakes have brook trout in them and I usually go ice fishing up there and slay em.

Snag Lake (100 Mile) has brookies shaped like CFL footballs. Unbelievable through the ice. Nothing less than 4lbs. Tough to find though. Locals may be able to navigate you in. Good Luck!

As said earlier, Edith Lake just outside Kamloops has excellent Brookies. The added benefit is being able to fly fish from shore at the end of the lake. Great spot, and a few big rainbows to keep you really honest!
