20lb for bar fishing (plunking) is not enough, as you play not just fish but a heavy weight as well, not to mention pulling it out for casting. Save your good rod for later - 18 oz weight will kill regular baitcasting rod. Same with the reel.
You will need a very cheap rod/reel combo and you can get it in Wall Mart, Canadian Tire or Army & Navy. Rod should be very thick and ugly. Put 18 oz weight on the tip of the rod and check if you can cast it this way.
As for spots:
Mission:
Standard Gaz Bar (famous, but requires saltwater license)
Ridgedale Bar
McDonald Landing Bar
Dewdney-Prairie Bar
Chilliwack:
Island 22
Ferry Island Bar
Agassiz:
Mountain Slough
McDonald Road Bar
Rosedale:
Herrling Island Bar (you may need a boat to get there at high water)
Laidlaw:
Gold Dredge Bar
St Elmo Road Bar
Bulger Road Bar
Hope:
Wardle Street Bar (famous)
So, tight lines & sharp hooks!

just a quick question, how far do you usually have to cast out for these springs?

It does not really matter - just as far as you can cast with your equipment. Normally, you cannot cast too far with heavy weights.
