Without a pic, I consider it bogus.

[noxcape]

i agree with you on that one damien to many rumours about where there is bass and never any proof if the next person who catches a bass there can actually post a pic it would be greatly appreciated

[Sam6140]

I will definitely post a picture as soon as I can get out there.

Andy, take highway 1 westbound into Burnaby.  Take the Kensington St/Canada Way exit.  You'll come to a light at the end of the highway off ramp.  Turn left.   And then stay on the road, and it veers left (which is Canada Way).  Turn right at the very next light - which is Sperling Ave (like 2 blocks away).  Go straight down that road, a few blocks, and there you are at Deer Lake.

Who would make up catching Bass at Deer Lake?  Deer lake is nothing special for one thing, secondly, there is nothing to gain by doing that.

[noxcape]

i know ther eis nothing gained by making it up but over the years there have bieng lots of rumours of bass in other lakes that tunred up to be hoaxes aka kawkwa

please do post pics of the next one you catch in there please

[Sam6140]

I see...man Andy, there are some real losers out there.  Well, I hate bull crap, and Burnaby is my home - it's where I grew up and lived for 26 years.  I'm glad to have bass there.  And I will post photos for sure, with the background and everything.  In fact, I'll even film a video of me reeling one in and post it.  

Have you tried fishing Albert Dyck Lake recently?

I get the pic thing but don't really care if anyone believes me.  I'm sure a pic will be posted soon enough though.

There are bass in Deer Lake.

I dont doubt him, they've been caught in other waterways in the area, i suppose it was only a matter of time before they were dumped there also,, id check burnaby lake too... from what i heard all the fish caught are small so would mean a recent transplant... the area is struggling as is, now this

[ribolovac02]

Fished deer lake for the last six years every spring for carp,its still a bit cold for bass then so havnt seen much activity at all until this year.
Went there with my carp fishing rod for a quit eveningon the lake,brought my fly rod with me too,had no luck for carp that time.
Just before i was leaving,something started splashing on the edge of the weed bed one after a nother,I throw on a black micro leach on, and two casts in a row hook two bass, small, but i was very surprised,couse like everyone else on here, prior to this i never belived that thre is any in there.

[cutthroat22]

So there is a decent population of them.

Must have been dumped by the bucketload recently imo.

Deer Lake is pretty messed up.......I think we took the last stocked BrownTrout out of Deer lake back in '73. There's no suitable trout spawning areas in the lake so they never took hold.

Thats not quite right, there is a stream on the side of where the old okalla prison used to be by the second beach on the other side of the lake, ive observed large rainbow trout  spawning there in the late 90's i used to camp out there with friends and fish for carp at night, you could hear them running up the stream at night... probably not anymore though but thats rainbows... i never knew there were once brown trout in there.
