Campbell River, British Columbia
This month’s hotspot is along the Picturesque Campbell River in British Columbia. You can easily access this Hotspot via a Whitewater Raft with Destiny River Adventures. This Hotspot is a fly-fishing only area of the Campbell. While there, Ang & Pete used small bright colored sinking flies with weighted lines and tippets to get their presentation close to the bottom... a key in this area.
-
Pitt River, British Columbia
This hotspot was fished by our own Angelo Viola and Vic Carro of STS Guiding on the Pitt River In beautiful British Columbia. Since this picturesque river has as many shallow rocky run as it does dark deep holes, it’s a good idea to hire a professional guide. You can either motor upstream, then start working the pools and runs all the way down or vice-versa, methodically working upstream. Spoons are the #1 choice for lures but don’t hesitate to try inline spinners and minnowbaits.
-
Fraser River, British Columbia
This month’s hotspot is a Sturgeon hole on the Fraser River in BC. It’s a typical hole where the STS Guiding crew anchors up current and then sets roe, lamprey, eels or ooligans on the bottom waiting for these giants of the deep. If you want to catch a truly big fish… this is the place!

Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia
This is a BC Smallmouth Bass hotspot that we recently visited for a Fish’n Canada episode. Look for the standing logs and throw tandem Spinnerbaits, Topwaters and Crankbaits in the mornings; then throw 4-5 inch finesse worms and tube jigs in the mid-day.
-
Fraser River, British Columbia
March's HotSpot is on the mighty Fraser River. A special thanks to Vic Carrow of STS Guiding in British Columbia for this great Sturgeon Hotspot. Vic is on the water constantly and knows the timely migration/feeding patterns of Sturgeon. When a guy that makes his living on the water gives us some info… we grab it!
-
Vaseux Lake, British Columbia
March's HotSpot is one we found on our last Bass excursion in BC. There is a little body of water called Vaseux Lake that is awesome. Our waypoint is located on a spawning shoreline which the fish could be preparing to check out already. Certainly by the end of the month (March) and into April the Smallies will be “out & about”. In the colder water try suspending jerkbaits and spinnerbaits, as the water warms make sure you include tube jigs.
-
Osoyoos Lake, British Columbia
August’s Hotspot takes us to Osoyoos Lake in British Columbia. This is a point at the North west end of the lake that can be awesome for Smallies early and late in the season. Work both sides where it drops from 8 to 20 feet. Use topwaters in the morning and drag lizards or tubes on bottom at mid day.
