Chubb Lake is located south of Prince George, just west of Highway 97. This lake has good rainbow trout fishing and is one of the earlier lakes in the area to lose its ice cover.
Gear fishers should consider a red Apex, a good standard lure that can work in a variety of conditions. Small spinners can be a good choice as well.
Brian Smith, author and photographer, says that it's often worthwhile to try chironomids in all their stages, from pupa to emerging adult. Chironomids hatch early and often, and larvae patterns are good searching patterns. Adult patterns can be good choices for early mornings, cloudy days, and evenings.
Smith's book, Fly Fishing BC's Interior, is a great reference for the Central Interior, complete with fly patterns. Smith's insect knowledge and experience is put to good use, and is a must-have for Central Interior anglers. His book is available on the Angler's Atlas website (www.anglersatlas.com), or at local bookstores.
Chubb Lake is considered one of the Omineca Region's Family Fishing Waters. Family Fishing lakes are usually good places to fish with children, offering easy access and good shore fishing opportunities.
All boaters should be aware that fishing regulations restrict the motor size on boats to 10 horsepower. Please consult the current fishing regulations, before heading to the lake.
LAKE ACCESS
From Prince George, head south along Highway 97, about nine km south of Hixon. Turn right (west) at Plett Road, which also has signage for Chubb Lake Bible Camp. While on this road, stay left at first fork, and head up the hill. The lake is about seven km along this road.
There is a forestry recreation site at the lake, with sixteen vehicle units, that is open year-round. The site is RVaccessible and has a boat launch.
