Nearby Lakes

Hush Lake: Hush Lake is a small lake north of Ten Mile Lake on Hwy 97. It is about 24 km (14.88 mi.) north of Quesnel. Watch for the Ministry of Highways rest area on the west side of the highway. This tiny lake has been stocked with Eastern Brook Trout, and makes for a delightful flyfishing experience in a canoe or small row boat. This is definately not a trolling and power boat lake. Expect brookies that are about half a pound, two pounds if you're really lucky.

Note: Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start fishing a new lake.
