Lower Mainland BC Fishing Mapbook

Welcome to the 1st edition of the Fishing Mapbook for Lower Mainland, BC!

The Lower Mainland region offers some of the best variety of fishing in BC, with a myriad of fishable waterbodies ranging from large lakes such as Harrison Lake and Stave Lake, to rivers of all shapes and sizes. Anglers will find cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, kokanee, dolly varden, steelhead and salmon in lower mainland waterbodies. Opportunities abound, from urban fishing holes easily reached by transit or car to remote hike-in lakes found hours from the nearest highway down four-wheel drive backroads.

As we continue to work to provide the best and most recent information, users of this Fishing Mapbook will find that fishing descriptions, access and facilities have been reviewed and fully updated, including campsite, lodge and resort details. We have also included new and improved bathymetric lake depth charts, as well as the most up to date information available for fish species and stocking information for all lakes and rivers. We have even included the newest fishing docks to our maps.

The printed version of this fishing mapbook comes in the convenient 21.5 x 28 cm (8.5 x 11 inch) mapbook format with a heavy-duty spiral-bound cover. Containing Region 2 (Lower Mainland), the 124 page book includes over 95 lakes and rivers, showing you where to fish and how to best fish any given area.
