Back in England I caught all my bigger fish in September/October, carp tend to eat a lot during those months to bulk up for the winter.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

People should go to Burnaby Lake, there's a decent number of 30lb and up carp over there. I won't be surprised if a few of the carps are over 40lb. If you're canoeing on the lake, you might even bump into a school of carp which slows down the canoe! Just make sure to use a rod that is designed to handle a large steelhead, and use quality braided fishing line.

What are the boat restrictions for Burnaby lake? I would love to get dragged around by a big carp in my kayak...

You dont need a boat for a monster though. Ask anyone whos shore fished for sturgeon or shark....

Bring your camera if you have the chance to fish or kayak at Burnaby Lake. Also, the lake is full of beavers, many species of ducks, birds, and flying squirrels that jump off trees and glide with their wings!

A detailed report of the what you might find at the Burnaby Lake - they mentioned humans and dogs too!

Do note that the species information for fish isn't complete, as I'm surprised that they didn't mention rainbow trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, perch, crappies and pikeminnows.
