Charlie Lake J
ust north of Fort St. John, Charlie Lake offers an ideal combination of easy access, amenities and great fishing.
These are just some of the reasons that Charlie Lake has been desig- nated one of the Family Fishing Waters in the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations. Family Fishing Waters are so chosen because they are relatively easy to access, have simple fishing
regulations,
and can often be fished from shore or a dock.
There are large fish in Charlie Lake, namely rainbows up to 6 pounds, and

pike up to 15 pounds. Walleye and burbot are present in Charlie Lake as well, which makes for a good variety of fishing opportunities.
When targeting larger fish such as pike, trolling spoons may work well. Because they are predatory fish, anglers may have luck imitating other fish such as minnows or trout. Metallic finishes on your lures, or natural trout colours, are good to try.
For early morning or later evening excursions, copper and brass fin- ishes can be attractive. On sunny days, or in clear water, nickel and silver
finishes can be useful.
At the south end of the lake is Rotary RV Park and Jackfish Dundee’s Pub. After a good day of fishing, stop by the pub for a great meal.
