Region 4 Regulations — guide reviewed 2026-07-07

Confirm the current BC freshwater fishing regulations (Region 4, Kootenay), including any bait, motor or ice-fishing limits for this lake, before you fish.

The water

Eimar sits in the St. Mary River watershed, covering surface area not recorded.

Stocking

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Eimar is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 21 recorded releases totalling 16,275 fish (Rainbow Trout, Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout, Brook Trout), last stocked 2013-06-05.
Stocking appears to have wound down after 2013. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

The fishing

Eimar fishes as a put-grow stillwater: work chironomids under an indicator over the shoals in spring, then leech and attractor retrieves along the drop-offs as the shallows warm. The stocking record below is the truest read on the size and cohort of fish you will find.
