Fishing is excellent at any one of more than a dozen trout-stocked lakes in the Clinton area.
Ice-fish for 1.8kg/4lb brook trout at Beaverdam Lake, bask in the warm sun and cast a line in the shallow waters of Little Big Bear Lake and Green Lake, or make a day and night of it fishing and camping at Kelly Lake in Downing Provincial Park. In the spring of 2009, Clinton's fish restocking plans included 14,000 yearlings for Big Bar Lake, 10,000 fingerlings for Leighwood Lake, 4,000 yearlings for Watch Lake, and 3,000 yearlings for Kelly Lake.
Beaverdam Lake
Cast a line for rainbow and brook trout at Beaverdam Lake. At 146ha/361ac, Beaverdam is year-round shallow-lake fishing hotspot. During the spring and fall months there is good rainbow and brook trout fishing, but it is winter ice fishing for brookies up to 1.8kg/4lb that is truly outstanding. Beaverdam Lake is located approximately 16km/10mi north of Clinton just off Highway 97 towards Big Bar Lake.

Little Big Bar Lake
Little Big Bar Lake, 65.5ha/161.8ac, is situated on the Fraser Plateau, surrounded by amazing vistas. Discover the north side of the lake where open grassland gives way to a forest of lodgepole pine and Douglas fir. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout and provides fine fishing during the spring and fall months.
Kelly Lake
Located in Downing Provincial Park approximately 10km/6mi southwest of Clinton, Kelly Lake has, in addition to great fishing, 25 vehicle campsites and day-use picnicking areas. Launch a car-top boat at this 46ha/114ac lake. Kelly Lake also has accommodations that include fishing activity packages.
Green Lake
Approximately 20mi/32km from Clinton, Green Lake is an outstanding family lake, which receives its name from its unique water colour. Situated amongst rolling hills of meadows, aspen, and pine, this beautiful lake is one of the larger bodies of water in the south Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region, and abounds with trout. The lake is about 14km/9mi long with an irregular shoreline of approximately 57km/36mi. On a hot summer day, relax on some of the best beaches in the area, or wade in the shallow warm water. With three fabulous park campsites, Green Lake is a real gem for vacationing families.
Appropriate fishing licenses are required for both freshwater and saltwater fishing in British Columbia. Find out more about fishing licenses and regulations on the BC government website.
