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

Johnson Creek sits in the Lower Arrow Lake watershed, covering ~13.3 ha surface area.

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Johnson Creek is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 2 recorded releases totalling 30,000 fish (Brook Trout), last stocked 1957-01-01.

Stocking appears to have wound down after 1957. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

Johnson Creek 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.

Confirm the launch, parking and any motor/float or seasonal restrictions for Johnson Creek locally before you commit a day; the map shows where the lake sits in its drainage.
