Location: Binta is located approximately 58 km. (36 mi.) south of the town of Burns Lake. From Burns Lake turn south onto Hwy. #35 and travel to the community of Francois Lake. Take the free, 20 minute ferry ride across Francois Lake to the community of Southbank. From the ferry dock at Southbank turn left and follow the main road heading southeast to Uncha Lake. Turn right on Campbell Road and next onto Binta Road which will take you to the lake. The roads are well marked.

Resorts & Campsites: Two BCFS campsites can be found on the lake.

Fishing Report: Binta supports a good Rainbow and Lake Char fishery. Much like Uncha Lake, Rainbows will reach up to 2+ lbs. while Char are capable of 20+ lbs. Deep trolling with spoons or plugs is your best bet for landing one of these monsters. Rainbows are caught either by trolling smaller lures such as flatfish or with spinning gear. Flies (especially attractor patterns) work well in the shallow bay areas either by casting or trolling.
