Bridge lake is dotted with islands and shoals, providing a diversity of fishing holes to explore. It has good fishing for rainbow trout, kokanee and burbot.
Fly fishers may find that leeches, Woolly Buggers, horsehair nymphs and Carey Specials are reliable patterns. Also, the Tom Thumb is versatile, either as a wet or dry fly. Try using this pattern in the early morning or evening, casting towards the rising trout.
There is a popular kokanee and trout lure called the Bingobug, which works well for trolling. A Wedding Band and worm are always a reliable producer, and a white Apex with red tip also works well.
Later in the season, try brighter colours like a Watermelon, a rainbow-coloured lure that has proven successful.
Rainbow trout and kokanee often prefer reds and rainbow patterns. Try fishing deeper, cooler sections of the lake.
Rainbow trout are sensitive to bright light, and the best times to fish will be early mornings or evenings when the sun isn't shining directly on the lake.
Please note the lake trout fishery is catch and release only.
