Christina Lake is a large lake but historically has provided a moderate to poor fishery. Early complaints indicate fish size was not satisfactory to fishemen; more recently size and success has become a problem.

Christina Lake is a fairly unique body of water as it contains both warmwater and coldwater fisheries. Sunfish, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass are sought by anglers during most the year; while rainbow fishing is limited, to spring and fall. Some freshwater ling (burbot) may also be taken at certain tines. Kokanee are also sought actively by anglers.
There are several factors to consider in evaluating the potential fishery and the past fishery of Christina Lake. The drainage area of the lake is
relatively small, and the climate fairly dry most of the year; which produces a limited run-off, and reduced nutrient and particulate loading into the
basin. The flushing rate of the lake has been estimated at 3-4 years which is a small time period for a large body of water. Consequently, Christina Lake is very unproductive, having a T.D.S. of 42 ppm, and relatively low biological productivity. The Bio-index rating given to Christina Lake by Northcote and Larkin is 3, compared to Kalamalka 15, Oyama 9, Cultus 7, Garabaldi 3, Though this type of comparison is limited in scope, it does indicate relative productivity, showing
Christina to be one of the most unproductive lakes of 'its size.
