Activities World Class wild trout fishing Chaunigan Lake’s fishing is exceptional because of the lakes unique water characteristics. The lake is deep 168 feet, crystal clear, and fed by underwater aquifers that provide the lake’s nutrients. The lake has an abundant fresh water shrimp population which produces, trout with salmon coloured flesh. The fish spawn in both the inlet and outlet creeks on opposite ends of the lake. The excellent spawning beds produce an abundance of wild rainbow trout. It is common for fisherman to catch 20 fish in a day. The average fish size is 2 to 2.5 pounds and guests frequently catch a few 3.5-to-6-pound trout during their stay. Water sports: your booking includes a fishing boat &amp; motor, canoe, kayak, and stand-up paddle board. Fishing rod, flies etc. Are available at the lodge. Canoeing and Kayaking: Glide your canoe silently along the lake shore and look for loons, mergansers, barrows golden eye, grebes, bald headed eagles, and osprey. All these birds feed on the abundant trout and produce a new generation each summer. As the season progresses you can enjoy watching the young birds training for their fall migration flight south. The lake has a large eagle’s nest which overhangs the water about half way down the lake. The eagles usually produce two fledglings which can be seen from your boat. Beach activities: Chaunigan has a long south facing fine gravel beach. Swim in the crystal-clear water, suntan on the beach and warm up later in the hot tub or sauna. Watch out for bunnies crossing the beach.
