Fishing
Report: Managed as a quality water, Campbell offers excellent
rainbow fishing in the spring and fall months. During the summer
there is a heavy algae bloom on the lake. 2 lb. bows are the norm
in this fast action lake, however 5 lb. fish are routinely caught.
Occasionally trout that exceed 10 lbs. find their way to some lucky
fisherman's offering. Campbell is a shallow but rich lake with good
quantities of aquatic life. Summer winds sometimes make fishing
impossible, but when conditions are right, this is definitely the
lake you'll want to be on. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!

Lakes
FScuitto
Lake - FScuitto Lake, located just west of Campbell,
is another shallow but very rich lake. Fishing is reported to
be much the same as Campbell. Is there any better reason to try
this lake? Hosli Lake is a small lake with a surface area of 23
ha. (57 ac.) located south of Scuitto at an elevation of 1180
m. (3870 ft.). 4x4 access is either from Scuitto Lake in the north
or from Roche Lake in the south. Hosli is managed as a quality
water and offers a fine rainbow fishery with trout reaching 4-1/2
lbs. Spring and fall are the best months. Cartop boats can be
launced and there is a small undeveloped area for camping.
Note:
Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start
fishing a new lake.
