Bowser Lake: boat access?

[Ambush]

I'd like to get a small boat or Zodiac and light camp, into Bowser Lake. Does anyone have any current or relevant info they be willing to share in a pm? Is it possible to get a quad to the old bridge site on Bowser River just below the lake?

How is the fishing? Trolling, casting with spoons?

Thanks in advance for the flood of info that is sure to come. :-D :mrgreen:

There is now a road up the side of bowser to access the brucejack project. It's private and crosses the bell Irving north of bowser. While that doesn't get you where you want to go, it might mean traffic near the lake when you get back there. If you are planning to hunt the south west side of the lake the road probably won't make any difference. I haven't been on the river but flew over this year and I was pretty sure you could line a canoe up to the lake from the old forestry bridge.

drove to the old bridge site last spring, a few rubs on the truck, but not to bad....water was roaring pretty good, so we stayed off the river...

Yup, you can drive to the bridge with a truck. I was there with a Dodge diesel last spring.

Is this river jet boatable? Was looking at it on google earth. Must be some moose up there.

Noticed that. Land claims thing, or what?

There is a long story about the decline of the Nass moose but harvest of cows by First Nations may have contributed. There were also declines in population in areas not hunted by First Nations so other factors probably played a factor too.

Seems strange that a lake that size and so close to the highway does not have access, at minimum a Forestry site with 2-3 sites an out house and a boat launch...... I would love to hunt that lake as well.

I had a spring griz draw there 2 years ago,,I couldnt get across that river in the spring,,almost as wild as the Fraser,,by removing the old bridge they have locked up a lot of prime hunting area

Im sure the lake holds fish but it is the colour of milk from the glacial till
