Fishing Spot in Vancouver, British Columbia
Como Lake Fishing Access
Como Lake is a small Coquitlam park lake where the fishing setup is simple: walk the short lakeside loop, use one of the fishing/viewing docks or the open shore, and check recent stocking before you go. It suits short family fishing trips, but bring your own gear and pay attention to temporary trail detours around the south parking lot.

Best For
Good To Know
During current upgrade work, the City specifically points visitors to the north lot for more accessible lakeside trail access.
GoFishBC's stocking report showed 1,000 spring catchable rainbow trout added to Como on March 26, 2026, so the report is worth checking before a trout-focused trip.
Use the docks and open shore carefully because the lakeside loop, playground, picnic areas, and bird habitat put anglers close to other park users.
