Rainbow Trout About DEE LAKE
Northeast of Kelowna lies a chain of lakes famous for fly fishing. Dee and Island Lakes are at the top of this chain, near the headwaters, and are followed by Deer, Crooked, and then Beaver lakes. Dee Lake Resort, at the north end of the lake, has been in operation for more than 75 years. Promoted as the “Okanagan’s Heritage Resort,” it operates as a fishing resort and a family destination.
The lake is stocked each year and in 2015, 30,000 rainbow trout were released. The standard patterns work well—Doc Spratleys, Tom Thumbs in the evening, and black leeches. The key ingredient is a hint of red, though Dee Lake is a good place to experiment with different colours and patterns. One such pattern is a Pumpkinhead. Try fishing this pattern on slow days if the bite is off. This is also a good time to try some general searching patterns such as a chironomid larva.
Many other lakes in the area are productive fly lakes and it’s well worth taking some time to explore the area. A short drive from the resort yields several lakes, including Swalwell, Oyama and Postill, all of them worth fishing. To learn more about the resort, visit their website at DeeLakeResort.com.

LAKE ACCESS
From Kelowna, head north along Highway 97 to Winfield and turn right (east) onto Beaver Lake Road. Follow this road for about 25 km to the west shore of Island Lake. Along the west shore of Island Lake is a recreation site with 15 vehicle units and a boat launch. The resort is located a few kilometres past the rec site, along the north shore of Dee Lake. There is a convenience store at the resort, offering supplies and great fishing advice.
Lodging and Camping
After several years, our goal of combining the heritage features that so many enjoyed over the past 75 years with some new cottages is coming together. We have managed to relocate the older log cabins in a group on the south end towards Island Lake to create a Heritage area. New cottages with all the amenities have been constructed along the shore of Dee Lake. Now you and your family can experience the best of both worlds! In addition to the Resorts’ regular activities Dee Lake takes pleasure in offering a superb natural venue for Family Reunions, Weddings and Memorials. Whether amongst the trees or with the lake in the background you can be sure your event will be remembered fondly. Tour our photo gallery you may be there.
