Have done all my trout fishing in the interior, but now with a new boat, it would be nice to have some day / overnight outings.

What lakes are half decent for trout / kokanee?

Thanks

Alouette lake in Golden Ears prov. park. They have camping there as well. There is a book by B.C. Outdoors magazine called the freshwater atlas, very helpfull and might help you find what you are looking for. Good luck

Thanks K.C.   

Any tips for fishing Alouette?

I've also heard of Chilliwack and Kawkawa lakes.... how are these for both launching and fishing?

It depends on the size of your boat. Both Chilliwack and Kawkawa Lakes have boat launches. Chilliwack Lake is quite large. Kawkawa Lake is good for kokanee fishing in the next two months or so, all the fish are now feeding on the bottom (40+ ft). Something to watch out for is jet boats that tow water skiers around, which can be quite a nuisance or even dangerous if you are fishing in a small boat. If you are going before July, then the chance of seeing any water skiers is not that big. Cultus Lake is also worth considering because of its species diversity. You can catch bull trout, cutthroat trout, northern pikeminnow, largescale sucker, peamouth chub and even the odd kokanee.

For fishing Kawkawa lake in june, is bottom fishing the best method since they've moved to the bottom? or trolling? Looking forward to heading out there in the next few weeks in my inflatable

Bottom fishing with krill is definitely the best option for this time of the year. Nick Basok at the Chilliwack Dart and Tackle told me a week ago that fish are now in the deep and they were doing well with the above mentioned method.

Last year in June me and a few friends were having 50+ days dry fly fishing for kokanee all along the edges in Kawkawa (just watched for surface activity).
Never really did like fishing with those krill...
