Clanwilliam Lake sits at the head of the Eagle River, southwest of Revelstoke, in BC's Kootenay-Columbia country. It has a long provincial stocking record, 42 documented releases of rainbow trout and westslope cutthroat trout between 1935 and 2004, but nothing recorded since, so this reads today as a lapsed put-grow fishery rather than an active program.
The water
The lake lies at the head of the Eagle River, which runs on down through Malakwa toward Sicamous and Shuswap Lake. Little is known about its size, depth or shoreline, and the mapped coordinate is the provincial fish-presence point rather than a surveyed centroid or a launch, so treat the pin as approximate.
The fishing
With no current report to draw on, fish Clanwilliam on general stillwater lines until local information narrows it down: chironomids under an indicator over the shoals, leech patterns and attractor retrieves along any drop-off. The historic stocking mix of rainbow and westslope cutthroat suggests a typical Kootenay-Columbia put-grow lake, but with no releases on record since 2004, current fish size, density and even whether a self-sustaining population still exists are all open questions.
A historic stocking record, not a current one
Access and the rules
Confirm access, launch options and parking for Clanwilliam Lake locally before you go. No lake-specific closure or reduced limit applies, so the general Region 4 (Kootenay) rules govern.
