Location: Uncha is located approximately 40 km. (25 mi.) south of the town of Burns Lake. From Burns Lake turn south onto Hwy. #35 and travel to the community of Francois Lake. Take the free, 20 minute ferry ride across Francois Lake to the community of Southbank. From the ferry dock at Southbank turn left and follow the main road heading southeast to the lake. The roads are well marked.

Resorts & Campsites: There is a resort on the lake that features housekeeping units, campsites, showers, laundry, restaurant, boat launch and rentals, and horseback riding. There is also, located on the south side of the lake, a 5 vehicle, open BCFS campsite with cartop boat launching and a good beach for swimming.

Fishing Report: Uncha contains Lake Char to 20+ lbs., and Rainbows to 2-1/2 lbs. Flies or small lures and spinning gear work well for the bows, while trolling deep with spoons and plugs is the method that will likely catch the large Lake Char. Uncha is considered a consistent producer throughout the open water season.
