cars parked beside Hatzic lake.
« on: September 14, 2013, 11:35:39 PM »
A lot of times I  drive by Hatzic Lake along Loughheed highway and see a few cars parked by the small overpass on the lake. Does anybody know what they are doing there? Do people fish in the lake under the overpass or is this a spot to access the Fraser for fishing? For some reason this really peaks my curiosity.

I know a Hungarian that brings his buds there for carp. They park beside the Hwy in front of the lake.

Yeah my my parents did the same thing.  It was great back then now you'll just catch a few. Catfish can be hand as well

There are lots of little rainbows in there as well. I'm not sure if they stock it or not, but I was curious one day as well, chucked a spoon from the shoreline and hit a few 6-10inch rainbows.

Carp, crappie and bass.

Rainbow and cutthroat trout, too.
Good place to fish if you don't mind the noise of passing cars.

I was a regular fishing the canal for carp back in the day.
