A small West Kootenay stillwater paired with South Caribou Lake, stocked on and off for over four decades with Gerrard-strain rainbow trout before releases stopped in 2011.

Not individually listed in the Region 4 synopsis, so the regional defaults apply: trout/char daily quota 5 (no more than 1 rainbow over 50 cm), possession 2× the daily limit. Confirm the current rules before you fish.

North Caribou Lake sits in BC's West Kootenay, paired with South Caribou Lake a few hundred metres to the south. No lake survey, depth, clarity or surface area, is on file for it, and the roads, launch and parking situation hasn't been confirmed; treat it as an unconfirmed-access lake until that's checked locally.

North Caribou Lake was a put-grow fishery, not a self-sustaining one. Its entire recorded catch traces to stocked rainbow trout, with 40 releases logged between 1968 and 2011, most recently 2,000 yearling Gerrard-strain fish planted in 2011. Stocking appears to have stopped after that; confirm locally whether the lake still holds a residual population of grown-out fish or has gone back to whatever wild recruitment it can manage on its own.

Fish it with standard small-lake stillwater tactics until a local report says otherwise: a chironomid under an indicator worked over the shoals in spring, leech and attractor patterns like a Woolly Bugger fished along any drop-offs as the water warms, and a switch to dry-fly and emerger patterns if you find fish rising in the evening.

Access, launch and parking details for North Caribou Lake have not been confirmed and still need a field or source check; the coordinate above marks the fish-presence point recorded in the provincial stocking data, not a verified access point. Confirm both the route in and the current regulations before you commit a day to it.
