Title: Buntzen lake
Post by: shawn_john on August 05, 2011, 08:31:22 PM: Just wondering if anyone has been up there lately if the water levels are back to normal, and if you can use the round a bout boat launch area. thanks

Yes, yes and yes.

Hey Milo,
Have you fished it recently, I have'nt been up there for a month or so. It seemed slower to me this year than previous years.

Hi Jimmy!
I stop fishing Buntzen when the weather warms up, as too many people around is not my idea of fun when I am focused on fishing.
My wife and I go for a hike or a picnic there sometimes as we live in North Burnaby - a short drive from Buntzen.

Fishing is always good there if you have a boat or tube. Just keep to the east side between the South Beach and the "Rock viewpoint".
Troll a fly between 8 and 12 feet deep and you will experience success. Black leeches, red spratleys, brown and burgundy wooly buggers have always produced for me.
Or, chertreuse powerbait under a float if that's your flavour (used to be mine long time ago. :D)

Thanks Milo,
I agree on all aspects as I know the lake very well (except I would'nt know about power bait). My question was, do you feel that this year the fishing seemed slower than in previous years.
