Lyons Lake
Lyons Lake sits right off the Trans-Canada Highway near the Ontario border and is a go-to roadside rainbow trout spot, well stocked with rainbows in the 8-15 inch range plus big brood-stock brown trout from the hatchery. The government's depth map lists rainbow and brown trout as the common species and shows a maximum depth of 20.5 metres in just 0.23 square kilometres. Yellow perch, tiger trout and black bullheads also show up in angler catches.
