Isn't that lake like choked with weeds like millfoil etc. I went there once with the kayak and the lilys were so thick where I launched it was like &%#$. Have fun. Don't spread the millfoil around :'(

Burnaby Lake doesn't have much milfoil in it, alot of lily pads but in the center of the lake it's clear. Launch from the Eagle Creek side and it'll be easy as silk. Mind the duck poop tho, and it's really shallow until the middle. Suppose to have fish in it too, but I aint never caught nuttin.

Thats right, I'm wong it was Burnaby lake I went to. Was way back and a fishing parrot told me there were bass in burnaby lake. Did hear they wanted to remove some of the weeds from the lake and they should. Would be anice lake if they did. You can see the rowing club swath  when you drive by. I thought Deer lake had oxygen problems or something? The Bruntte had the odd steelhead in it.

they remove alot of the lilypad-type plants and dredge in Burnaby lake almost year as the pads are choking the open water. There are a few trout and alot of carp in there but pollution from all the Still Creek area drainage ditches is a huge problem for the lake and then the Brunette river. Deer lake has some huge carp lurking around and there seems to always be a few fisherman set up along the shore trail.

In regards to Deer Lake,

I've caught some hatchery rainbows there trolling around in my tube, check the stocking updates to see when the best times will be.

There are also some large carp cruising about.

A small boat or float tube works well as there is limited shore casting around the lake. There is a small dock at the east beach end, you will quite often see a few folks fishing from it during spring/summer.
