Sherry and Jim Shaw, owners of the Tzenzaicut Lake Lodge are excited about the year ahead. They have plans for some exciting events during the summer of 2011.
Tzenzaicut Lake is an ideal family destination, "where young people can actually catch fish," Shaw says. She adds that it's a great place to get away to hear the sounds of the night.
The rainbow trout on Tzenzaicut Lake are fighter fish, notes Shaw. They can be caught with "anything bright". Anglers have had luck with shrimp patterns and green Spratleys. Oranges and yellows work well, too.
Pelicans frequent Tzenzaicut Lake. Shaw says they feed on the suckers in the lake. Please note that Pelicans are considered endangered. Do not approach them. When Pelicans are disturbed, their timely return to their nests is disrupted, leaving the young at risk. Please see the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations for more information about the White Pelican.
Tzenzaicut Lake is also known as Fish Lake. There are good fishing opportunities for wild stock rainbow trout, with the best fishing during spring, but fishing generally remains good until late July.
This lake regularly produces rainbow trout between one and two pounds. Fishing with flies, spinning gear and tackle all work well.
This lake is important for British Columbia's fish stocking program for rainbow trout, operated by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Brood stock from this lake is used by fisheries staff for the eggs, which are then raised in provincial hatcheries and released into numerous lakes around the province.
Watch for the Tzenzaicut Lake Resort's new website, expected to be up and running in early May.
