I went to Ablert Dyck Park in Abbotsford this morning. I notice that most of the lake is for hatchery purpose, not open to public. Only the beach area in the far end can be used for swimming. My question is:
Is fishing permitted there? What kind of hatchery is that?
If yes, what kind of fish are in the lake or pond?
Can I use a barbed hook?

bass. you can fish anywhere on the lake and use barbed hook. its leased by the fraser valley waterski club and there is no hatchery on the lake
-
most are small, ultra light gear makes it a hell of a lot more exciting..
-
if you re read the sign its not for hatchery purpose its for the water skiing club and you can fish anywhere on the lake its full of stunted bass but its great for kids
-
Thanks for the answer. I was casting firetiger spoon a few times in the rain this morning. I hope next time I can catch some bass there. I never caught bass anywhere.
-
fish off the dock if there not skiing on the lake you can watch a poop load of tiny bass follow your bait in try to get some crappie jigs and a grub or use worms and a bobber
-
Isn't it still early for bass?

That lakes makes me think that it's used as a rearing pond for small bass. Then the bass get caught, then stocked in various location. I'm really excited to start bass fishing as soon as it stops raining. I went shopping and got all kinds of lures over the past couple of weeks. I will give Albert Dyck a go, as well as the pond at Trinity University and the river next to it. I'm just wondering as a New Bass fisher, if those are the best places to start. Seems like it from all my research. But I live close to Pitt Meadows too, and don't have a boat. :(
I know how a lot of people are strictly against bass in our waters, and I understand. But it's nice to have some decent fish of a good size that aren't too hard to catch. I think that Northern Pikeminnows are the REAL culprit for eating up all the trout and salmon fry - especially in the Fraser River. That's why those fish have a bounty in other areas. I personally am so sick of constantly catching them at Buntzen lake, and having to deal with the thousands of them around anything I put in the water to target trout.
-
those are the perfect plkaces to start also check out fish trap creek in abby its got some big fish in there
-
Cool thanks Noxscape. I do of course know of all the great spots in Pitt Meadows. Would you consider Pitt Meadows (area 51/52) challenging? Should I bother just in case I get discouraged? I can do the Allouette River wiithout a boat though.
-
51/52 is not a challenge at all well for me its not lol to start if your in a boat fish the channel closets to the dyck and fish small lizards and craws and things like that undar all the over hanging trees and wood in the water
if they are activly feed you can then try to fish top water frogs on and throu all the lily pads
hope this is a bit helpful any more questions juat keep asking :)
-
Thanks again Noxscape. I think I will give it a go in a few hrs (early morning). I hope it doesn't rain. I bought a bunch of lures and plastic worms and grubs. Would those work good too? Or do you have more success with top water fishing?
-
still to early for top water fishing the stuff you bought will work just go out and experiment and just have fun and do get discouraged its a tought time of year to fish because of the weather
