Description:
Fish Lake located within the Nechako Reservoir watershed. Water from Fish Lake drains out into Andrew’s Creek at Andrews Bay Provincial Park on Ootsa Lake. Water in Ootsa Lake flows both into the Nechako-Fraser watershed as well as Kemano River due to the Kenny Dam.
The lake is moderate in size and easy to access and has many small bays and islands.
Access to Fish Lake can be done at two locations:
- At the lake’s midpoint on the Southern Shore. There is a road through a recent logging block and an easy 136m portage.This portage still needsto be cut out, but it’s short.
- At the west end of the lake, the Fish Lake Lagoons are accessed by a long narrow section of channel. The area consists of slow moving water and wetlands. The access road into this location is grown in, but is still possible to pus ha truck through. The portage in this area is well cut out, easy and approx 270m long
There are no signs marking the lake. The portage is ribboned in Orange and black ribbon.
