Whistler British Columbia Fishing Reports

Freshwater Fishing Reports for Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton BC.   All of the small lakes in Whistler, BC are fishing very well.  We have been catching lots of Rainbow Trout ranging in size from 10″ – 20″ depending on the lake.  Lakes that you should focus on fishing in Whistler are Nita Lake, Lost Lake, Alta Lake, Showh Lake, Cheakamus Lake and one of my new favorites is Madeley Lake.  To get to Madeley lake turn onto Callaghan FSR off of hwy 99.  Follow Callaghan FSR for roughly 12 KM and you will see Madeley Lake road on your right.  Follow this road until you arrive at the lake.  There is a small recreational campsite and tons of scenery suitable for pictures.  The fishing is very good for Rainbow Trout averaging 14″.  While fly fishing Madeley Lake try using Full Back, Half back, tom thumb, dragonfly nymphs, damsel flies, elk hair caddis and my favorite a brown wooly bugger.  There is limited shoreline access, so bring a pontoon boat or a float tube.  Madeley Lake is a great lake for introducing people to fly fishing.  Below are a couple pictures from Madeley Lake.
