Welcome to Takysie Lake Resort – "Lake of Many Fishes"
Join Us at Takysie Lake Resort just south of Burns Lake
The name ‘Takysie’ means ‘lake of many fishes.’ The abundance of rainbow trout in Takysie Lake will excite everyone – even the non-fisherman. Watch as each day the fish rise and leap from the water for their daily meal. Takysie Lake supports an excellent population of wild BC rainbow trout up to 2+ lbs. The lake is ideal for fly fishing and conventional trolling methods using spinning gear, flatfish, and small spoons. Or just walk out to the boats after a good rain – there may just be one swimming around inside looking for a way out!
A Calm & Relaxing Getaway
This is where you want to relax…listen to the call of the loons and watch the ospreys soar overhead. Tour the lake in one of our aluminum boats to view an eagle’s nest or catch your own next meal.
