Fishing in BC's Thompson Okanagan

Thompson Okanagan Fishing

Experience the wide range of freshwater fishing that Thompson Okanagan has to offer. The region is famous for the aggresive strains of rainbow trout found throughout its lakes and rivers. There are also trophy bass to be caught in several south Okanagan lakes, as well as lake trout and salmon opportunities in select waters.

This region is home to two major watersheds, the Thompson in the north and the Okanagan in the south. The two sections are recognized as distinct regions in the Freshwater Fishing Regulations. The Thompson (and Nicola) watershed is famous for the rainbow trout which are found throughout its lakes. There are thousands of small and medium size lakes to explore, as well as a few big ones like Shuswap Lake.

Thompson Nicola Fishing

The Okanagan portion flows southward and into the United States. It is flanked by the Monashee Mountains in the east and the Cascade Mountains in the west. This area has hundreds of small and medium size trout lakes to explore as well as several big water lakes. Most of the big water is along Okanagan Valley, including the largest, Okanagan Lake.

Learn more about this region by speaking with one of the sponsors showcased in the Spotlight. There are several accommodation options listed, along with three tourism centres in Osoyoos, Barriere and Logan Lake. Plan your fishing trip to this region today.
