Kootenay Region BC Fishing Mapbook | Backroads Mapbooks

The Kootenays offer some of the most scenic fishing in British Columbia, with a fantastic combination of hidden mountain lakes and large valley bottom lakes and rivers. World-class fishing destinations such as Kootenay Lake and the Columbia and Elk Rivers attract anglers from around the world in search of the famous Gerrard Rainbow Trout and fast-growing Westslope Cutthroat Trout. The trout are mixed with a healthy combination of bass, kokanee and walleye that reside in the local lakes and streams, making for a perfect mix of fishing adventures just waiting to be discovered.

As we continue to work to provide the best and most up-to-date information, users of this fishing map book will find that the descriptions, access and fishing facilities have been revised and fully updated, including details of new campsites, lodges and resorts. We have also included new and improved bathymetric lake depth maps, as well as the most up-to-date information available on fish species and stock information.
