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

Mineral Lake lies Between Moyie and Monroe Lakes; in the Kootenay Lake watershed. It covers ~7.9 ha surface area. The lake survey puts it at max 25 m, mean 14.4 m, which sets the depth you fish.

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Mineral Lake is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 1 recorded release totalling 21,000 fish (Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout), last stocked 1929-01-01.

Stocking appears to have wound down after 1929. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

Mineral Lake 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.
