About Postill Lake

Postill Lake offers a unique fly fishing experience. Not only is the fishing fantastic, but the easy access to 5 other lakes makes this an ideal location from which to base a fishing trip. It’s also close to Kelowna, which means it’s easy to get to for a quick morning outing or a weekend away. The lake is packed full of brook and rainbow trout, its bays and shoals make for ideal fishing.

Cory Goldfinch of Postill Lake Lodge says that small lures such as flatfish or Lyman lures seem to work best. “The fishing is great,” she says. “Our fish range from 8 to 15 inches and are pretty easy to catch.”

Fly fishing on Postill Lake is fabulous, too. Early in the season, Goldfinch suggests anglers try mosquitoes around mid-June,

and mayflies soon after. As the summer heats up, Spratleys, Grizzly Kings and Golden Pheasants are productive. Goldfinch notes that the lakes nearby follow the same hatch patterns.

Until 2004, Postill Lake was stocked with brook trout. Since 2009, the lake has been stocked with rainbow trout. Postill Lake Lodge is ideally situated within 5 km or less of 5 other lakes. All of these lakes offer superb rainbow trout fishing.

Postill Lake is packed full of brook and rainbow trout, and its bays and shoals make for ideal fishing. Cory Goldfinch of Postill Lake Lodge suggests that Doc Spratleys, 52 Buicks and Zug Bugs are good wet fly choices. She notes that these flies will attract both rainbow and brook trout. If you’re looking for dry fly options, she suggests Goddard Sedges, Mayflies and mosquitoes, the more realistic the better. “Flatfish and Lyman Lures are still good options,” she notes, and “the fishing remains consistent.” Goldfinch adds that the fish are somewhat discriminating, which means that anglers can experiment and be creative. Early mornings and later evenings are the best times of day for fishing, especially mid-summer. Spring and fall are ideal. Postill Lake Lodge is ideally situated within 5 km or less of five other lakes, although they are only accessed on foot and you will need your own canoe or belly boat.

Limit Catches are Common on Postill Lake

Five more lakes lie within close vicinity to Postill Lake, and anglers can make their base at Postill Lake Lodge. Staff at the lodge report that fish in Postill Lake "range from 8-16 inches.... Limit catches are common. Fly or very small plug is the popular bait which gives the fisher the maximum amount of sport for brook trout and rainbow." http://postilllake.com/activities.html
