if you fish under the lougheed bridge youll find mainly crappy, they congregate in front of those drainage culverts. carp, can be had well into the 20lb range if you fish across the tracks from the bridge, theres a dirty little slough there. we always used super small yellow/ orange or purple jigs for the crappy, and carp, bait is king, put it on the bottom and wait. aparently theres rainbow in hatzic but ive never caught one in tears of fishing there.....

what do you mean the bait is king for the carp?

I think he means that bait is king(the best) lure to use.

ooooh, never heard of that saying befor hahaha
thanks for the help guys
oh and isnt hatzic lake high right now cuz its connected to the river
ReelWrangler

not overly, the culverts that lead to the slough across the tracks drain the lake. there is a pump station at the back of the slough. the pump couldnt keep up during high water but has since regulated it. yes bait is best for carp, they are easily spooked.
