Generally the farther you get from Williams Lake the fewer people you will see. Driving west over the Chilcotin Plateau is like stepping backwards in time. Cowboys still ride their horses to town and hitch them outside the general store. A variety of unique, pine-pole fences can be found along the road, and old homesteader log cabins are still in use. It's a photographer's heaven.
Most Chilcotin lakes contain trout and the creeks have lots of small fish.
Time of year and weather will affect fishing opportunity, but there's always some lake producing. Naturally, some places are consistently better than others. Keep in mind, the most difficult lake to access isn't always the best. For example, Anahim Lake is easy to reach, and has good fishing throughout the season. Situated 200 mi.
