Tacheeda Lakes are part of the Parsnip River watershed, which flows north into Williston Lake and eventually reaches the Arctic Ocean.
This circuit of lakes is a popular getaway. The lakes have been stocked with rainbow trout several times since 1978, using different strains of trout, including Dragon and Tunkwa Lake stocks.
Dick Nite, the Triple Teezer and the Wedding Band are popular lures for fishing Tacheeda Lakes. For the Char fishery, try the One-Eyed Wiggler, made by GIBBS.
When targetting kokanee, anglers may have luck with small lures. Wedding rings are popular. Try using different colours, and experiment with flourescents. Kokanee are known to have a preference for red, so these colour combinations should produce good results.
Because Tacheeda Lakes are quite deep, the summer doldrums are not an issue here. There are extensive bays and shoals, creating ample trout habitat. In particular, islands are a great place to start. Troll slowly and work out from here.
There are three recreation sites on the shores of this lake. The symbols shown on the map are approximate.
LAKE ACCESS
From Prince George, head north on Highway 97 for about 90 km until you meet the Red Rocky Forest Service Road on your right (east). Follow this road for about half an hour and past Fishbone Lake. This road meets Tacheeda Lakes at the south-western shore, and winds along the length of both lakes. If you reach the Parsnip River you've gone too far.
Of special interest, just southeast of Tacheeda Lakes is an ecological reserve. Please keep in mind that consumptive activities, including camping and quadding, are not allowed. Please consult BC Parks for futher information about this and other ecological reserves. The website address is http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/.
