Overnight trip from Vancouver
« on: May 26, 2009, 12:37:48 PM »

I'm situated in Vancouver and want to get away for one afternoon/morning of fishing.  I don't want to drive very far (3 hours max).  Any suggestions where I could get the following:

1.  Good fishing
2.  Boat rental
3.  Cabin rental

thx

if you want to do some ocean fishing you can go to.  www.penderharbourresort.ca  or .com  take the horshoe bay ferry 45 mins - then an 1:15 min drive.. beutiful place!! lots of cabins sights and boat rentals.  even canoes.. if you want to go out and do some cod fishing or what not.  Thats always a little bit of fun!

How about the Coquihala Lakes Lodge - Near the old Toll Booth.

It's close enough for a 1 nighter and a little more affordable than Corbett. (but the fish ain't near as big!)

Off hand all I can think of would be Pinantan Lake just past Paul Lake..They have all 3 although the fish are not huge you can easily catch lots up to 12" and the swimming is good I think too. I used to go up there and rent a boat when I was living in Kamloops and they have cabins but I never stayed in one.  It may be closer to 4 hours driving though as it is 40 minutes maybe 45 from Kamloops, could be a tad longer as I never really pay attention to time. It is past Paul Lake.

It has been a few years since I have been there. But I caught fish almost anywhere on that lake.

Pinantan Lake resort  The main page says rainbows to 24 "  and they mention Cabins, Boat rentals, RV park.

Hopefully I can get up there this year.  The ice fishing is pretty good too.

 Accessed on the Beaver Lake and Dee Lake Roads This group of 20 lakes has long been recognized as one of British Columbia's finest fishing grounds.  Connected by waterways and trails, this group of 20 lakes or more is well stocked with real fighting Kamloops trout. Top among the lakes are Dee Lake, Island Lake, Deer Lake and Crooked Lake.
