Walleye ice fishing in British Columbia

12 British Columbia lakes on this site have walleye 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 walleye tips

Walleye bite best around first and last light; jig a spoon or jig-and-minnow tight to the bottom near points, humps and drop-offs.

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.
