Fishing Lillooet BC Seton Lake Fishing Report
Fishing Lillooet BC Seton Lake Fishing Report. Seton Lake holds some very good fishing opportunities from shore and by boat. The lake is about 22 km long and is held back by a dam at Lillooet, BC. The lake is natural in origin but was raised slightly as part of the Bridge River Power Project. The two main powerhouses of which are on the north shore of the west end of the lake near Shalalth. At the West end of the lake is the community of Seton Portage and the mouth of the short Seton Portage River. Seton Portage River connects Anderson Lake on the farther side of the Portage to Seton Lake. Seton lake flows west to east and runs in to the Fraser River near Lillooet, BC.
When Fishing in Seton Lake, fish near the tributaries that feed the lake or where the water exits the Lake. The lake has quite a bit of Glacial till. The glacial till comes from the hydro project located at Shalath where they take water from Carpenter Lake in pipes through the mountain and run it into Seton Lake. This is a very good spot to fish and the water is well oxygenated. This time of year the Salmon fry start to emerge from Gates Creek on Anderson Lake and make there way to the Fraser River. Salmon Fry are a tasty treat for the Predatory Trout in the Lake. Once the Trout in Seton Lake become accustom to feeding on these fry, they can be fooled quite easily with the use of any minnow pattern, Streamer or Muddler patterns while fly fishing. Small spoons, Fraser River Rainbow plug and spinners also become very deadly.

Seton Lake is a Great place to enjoy the day for a Picnic while doing a bit of fishing. At the Lillooet, BC end of the lake there is a Beautiful park with picnic tables, washrooms, boat launch and a great dock for getting a line wet. Below are a couple of pictures of the Dock and a Giant Bull Trout caught April 7th, 2013. The Bull trout was caught while using a small spoon. When fishing off of the dock you will want to fish near the bottom and retrieve slowly, be careful the bottom has a few snags and debris. I Highly recommend you use the Fish Talk Zapper at this location
