Fishing

Both Claud Elliott Lake and Fickle Lake are known for high quality recreational angling. Lakes contain coho salmon, cutthroat, Dolly Varden, kokanee, rainbow trout and steelhead.

All anglers should check the current regulations issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada prior to fishing. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
