Fly Fishing at Plateau Lake, British Columbia. On our recent trip to Plateau Lake, we had an incredible day fly fishing for rainbow trout. Using a fast sinking fly line, we got down to about 10 to 15 feet, which turned out to be the sweet spot. The best flies were brown leech, vampire leech, and brown Woolly Bugger.
We used a 9-foot leader with4-pound test, and a slow steady strip retrieve with little pauses. Once we locked into the right depth, the action was consistent. We landed many beautiful trout that day.
Plateau Lake is definitely one of those hidden gems worth visiting for any fly angler.
Nestled in the beautiful Cariboo region of British Columbia, Plateau Lake is a fantastic destination for fly anglers looking for quality rainbow trout and peaceful surroundings. The lake offers excellent fishing throughout the summer, especially for anglers using sinking lines and leech patterns.
During our trip, the fishing exceeded our expectations. We landed plenty of healthy rainbow trout by fishing a fast-sinking fly line with a 4 lb leader, allowing our flies to reach the feeding zone quickly.
The most productive flies of the trip were:
Vampire Leech
Brown Leech
Brown Woolly Bugger
A slow, steady retrieve with occasional pauses proved to be the most effective presentation. Most of the trout were holding in deeper water, actively feeding on leeches and other subsurface food sources.
Plateau Lake is known for its clear water, beautiful scenery, and consistent trout fishing. Whether you’re an experienced fly angler or just getting started, it’s a lake that rewards patience and proper presentation.
If you’re planning a fly fishing adventure in British Columbia, Plateau Lake deserves a spot on your list. Bring a selection of leech patterns, a fast-sinking line, and be prepared for some exciting rainbow trout action.

Epic Salmon & Lingcod Fishing Adventure Around Vancouver Island
Some days on the water stay with you forever. I’m EBI FISHER, and along with my friends Ali and Farshid, I launched from Badinage and headed out toward the rich waters around Vancouver Island. We fished in management areas 17 and 12, targeting both salmon and lingcod. Using trolling techniques, we worked the structure where lingcod love to hide, and also trolled gear for salmon, letting our lines dance in the Pacific current. The action was steady, and before long we were reeling in beautiful fish, one after another. By the end of the trip, we had reached our legal daily limits, one salmon per angler and one lingcod each. But more important than the numbers were the memories, laughing with friends on the open ocean, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Vancouver Island. British Columbia never ceases to amaze me. The fisheries here are incredible, and every trip brings something new. If you love salmon fishing, trolling, or just being out on the water, I hope you get to feel that magic too. See you on the water. – EBI FISHER
