About SCUITTO LAKE

"Scuitto Lake is located about 45 minutes outside of Kamloops. Robert, from Wholesale Sports Kamloops says that Scuitto Lake is a great spot for any outdoor enthusiasts. The lake, which offers undeveloped camping and car-top boat launching is a great place for fishing any time of the year, although Robert prefers the open water season during spring and summer.

The lake is stocked with rainbow trout. They can usually be found feeding along the weedlines and shoals, so this is a great place to start looking. When trolling, Robert recommends using spinners or bobbers. As cold water fish, they will be most active during dusk and dawn as the water cools down.

In addition to trolling, Robert notes that fly fishing is popular and effective on the lake. When fly fishing, try using a Parachute Adams or Woolly Bugger pattern.

LAKE ACCESS

There is no official boat launch at Scuitto Lake, however there are many different spots to launch a canoe or kayak. There are several spots along the shore line that may be accessed by vehicles, while they are not always reliable.

Six New Spots to Fish This Autumn Campbell and Scuitto Lakes – Rainbow Trout Bordered on the south by Douglas fir forest and with rolling grasslands to the north, Campbell and Scuitto lakes lie approximately 30 kilometres southeast of Kamloops. Access to these lakes is via the Scuitto Lake Forest Service Road which, although gravel, is suitable for campers and travel-trailers. The road passes along the north shore of Scuitto Lake, which offers undeveloped camping and car-top boat launching. Another 2.5 kilometres past Scuitto is the Campbell Lake Provincial Recreation Site, which provides designated campsites and a launch for trailered boats. Both lakes literally teem with willing-to-strike 25- to 40-centimetre (10- to 16-inch) rainbow trout. This is the perfect lake to introduce someone to fishing, whether it be trolling lures or fly-fishing for the very first time.

Last One Off The Lake

This is a shot of our belly-boating trip in the fall of 2014 at Scuitto Lake, Kamloops BC. Four guys and a load of fish! We were the first ones on the lake and the last ones off. The gentleman in the photo had to battle with a loon the next morning to keep his fish. Apparently we were catching more than they were and so the mother was teaching her young how to steal from the fishermen! We'll be heading back this spring for sure...
