Bull Trout ice fishing in British Columbia
160 British Columbia lakes on this site have bull trout on record, largest first. A lake without a record may still hold them: records come from provincial open data and our own research, and are not complete. Some records are stocking records, which show what a province has stocked, not everything in the lake.

General bull trout tips
Bull trout are protected in many Alberta waters, so check the regulations: they are often catch-and-release or closed.
This is general guidance for the species, written by Ice Fish Canada, not a report from any one lake. Limits, size rules and closures vary by lake, so read the current British Columbia regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
