Premier Lake

Location: Premier Lake is located northeast of Skookumchuk on Highway 93/95 via 8 km (5 mi) of gravel road.

Nestled against the west slopes of the Rocky Mountains, Premier Lake is one of the key recreational fishing lakes in the East Kootenay. The emerald green lakes of Premier and four smaller lakes, Canuck, Yankee, Cats Eye and Quartz offer a unique and varied fishing experience in a secluded and pleasant park atmosphere.

The area is rich in wildlife. Premier Ridge, west of the lake, is an important wintering range for elk, whitetail and mule deer, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Forests of Douglas fir and western larch are common in the park. Osprey, eagle, heron, king fisher, numerous forest birds and water fowl can also be seen.

Fishing Report: This popular lake offers rainbow trout reaching sizes of 2 kg (4 lb) and brook trout are resident. These rainbows have been the main source of broodstock for Kootenay hatcheries.

Fly fishing methods such as Chironomid, halfback, fullback, Doc Spratleys and shrimp patterns all produce good results.
