Hyas Lake Resort
Listing Realtor
This tranquil lakeside resort is within an hour of Kamloops; a short, scenic drive for your guests or family to escape for an overnight or weekend to reset and unwind. The peace and quiet here is only broken by the loon’s call – seriously, it’s true!
This resort is situated on 4.5 acres of freehold land with over 250 meters of lake frontage on Hyas Lake. The resort includes a main cabin complete with full kitchen and bathroom, as well as 4 guest cabins. All cabins have large, timber framed covered decks in order to enjoy the views come rain or shine (or snow)!
This property would make an idyllic resort to run seasonally or year round. With a short drive to multiple communities, as well as the lower mainland, there are many clients to pick from who are on the lookout for the next getaway where they can unplug and come year after year. On the flipside, this property would also make a fantastic family getaway with room for all of the generations to stay in the various cabins or for a few families to purchase together and share.
The fishing on Hyas is fantastic all year (shhhh…don’t tell anyone)! Hyas is a year round playground; enjoy the fishing, boating and swimming in the summer months and enjoy the snowmobiling, cross country skiing and ice fishing in the winter months. Take in all of the seasons up here and watch the beauty of each and every one of those seasons.
This resort is fully equipped and ready to enjoy. It has a new solar system, excellent generator, several docks and comes fully furnished down to the cutlery. The guest cabins have small kitchens with sink (no running water), cooktop and bar fridge and an outhouse out back. There is a shower house on the property with toilet and the shower is warmed via wood stove – how cool is that?!
This resort has been well loved by this family with many fond memories made and you can see and feel that love and dedication when you walk around the resort; now it is time to pass it along to the next family.
Set among the rugged mountains of the Thompson region, Hyas Lake offers excellent fishing, with a deep water hole and extensive shoal areas. These are prime trout waters, and Hyas Lake can reward trout fishers with beauties up to five pounds.
Myron Crown, longtime Thompson angler, describes the lake as one of his favourites for fly fishing. Early in the season he likes to fish the lake with chironomids, which can be productive right up to the end of June.
But Crown says mark your calendars for the first day of summer, as this is when some spectacular dry fly fishing begins. Tom Thumbs and Mikaluk sedge patterns are his preferred choices at this time.
“Pay attention to the structure,” he adds, as this lake has complex shoals. “This is where the fish hang out.” Bloodworms, chironomids and shrimp are all abundant in Hyas Lake, as well as leeches and damselflies. As well, there is said to be a good waterboatman hatch later in the summer.
The varied insect population makes it easy to experiment with your fly patterns and techniques. Crown says green has always been a good colour for him in this lake.
Nearby Hadlow Lake offers good fishing as well. Although shallow, there is abundant insect life and good habitat to sustain a decent fishery.
Fully furnished including full solar system.
