Fishpot Lake is a short drive west of Nazko and has a good fishery for Blackwater rainbow trout. Along with the great fishing is a family friendly resort. Fishpot Lake Resort was featured in Canadian Living Magazine's article, "Camping in the Great Canadian Outdoors," as a great family fishing destination.
Vicky Roy, co-owner of Fishpot Lake Resort, says that the fishing was "awesome" last summer. Roy says that people were taking their limits a lot of times.
Roy says that gear fishers will succeed with basic Wedding Bands. She notes that the preferred colour seems to change from year to year. Last summer it was yellow.
For fly anglers, Roy says that Black Mollies and nymphs work best or anything that looks like a mosquito. "Special tip, our fish tend to like basic little garden worms. We have tried buying dew worms, red worms and various other bait, but their favourite is a basic garden worm!"
When asked about productive spots on the lake, Roy suggests, "I don't think we really have a specific spot that's a better fishing area. As we tend to tell the guests, 'its a lake and they're in there somewhere ... that's part of the game of fishing!'"
