Lakes
Little
Knouff Lake - Little Knouff Lake with a surface
area of 40 ha. (99 ac.) is located just minutes to the north
of Knouff Lake. It is a shallow lake with a marl bottom that
can on occassion produce large Rainbows. Most of the fishing
is concentrated in a small area of deep water located in the
centre of the lake, however, fly fishermen do well exploring
the shoal areas especially near dusk when larger fish come into
feed.
Note:
Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start
fishing a new lake.
