Fishing in Okanagan Lake.....NO SOX TALK
« on: August 18, 2006, 01:27:32 PM »
On a differnt note, i'm leaving the fraser floss for the okanagan for a week on a family vacation.   

What kind of fishing is viable in Okanagan lake, if any?  I'll be staying on the lake in Vernon so any tips, info is appreciated.  What type of fish are viable, and what methods/gear used. 

I'm not looking for fly fishing advise on any of the surronding smaller lakes, I'm going specific to okanagan lake.

Thanks in advance for any tips :) :) ;D :D

doja,

that's sort of what I heard also regarding the lack of kokanee recently.  I might just stick to the water skiing, but might just drop a line down and try for some.  Mabey I'll hook into Okopogo?    ;D ;D :D :D
