Might be a little early/cold water temps for bass.
Carp and trout, I don't know about on that lake.

--we ice fish for bass up here so maybe
--expect stormy weather, wind and barometric pressure changes so spotty fishing.
--seems each day get a few hrs of nice weather so if you're lucky on the timing you could get into fish.
--one reason for not many bass this time of year is good chance to get decent sized trout or kokanee trolling in the warmth of a heated boat rather than casting in the cold wind.
--I'd say the fish are there its the fishers that aren't hardy enough... go for it

my cousin caught a few trout there last summer trolling but yeah I think might be a lil too cold this time around never know good luck

thanks for the info guys! i will pass it on.

Bass and Perch...I caught a 12" yellow perch out of there last summer...bigger than the bass I was catching and put up more of a fight. Get away from the beach...try to find the milfoil and troll on the edge or cast a lure at the edge and let it sit for a bit...then jerk it...I was catching them like crazy up there in the summer and spring...
Good luck!

Learningtofly were you up at the very north end of Osoyoos , I once saw a fishing show on Bass up at that end and they were slaying them, but the Perch they didn't show, would like to know and what bait- lure used if I may? ???

Hey Butch
I was using a Rapalla orginal floater, which is what I caught the bass on...and the perch, it was a soft bait, split tail in black...on a jig head...just did a jerk retreive and hammered it.
I was across for white sands beach...all long the opposite side...near where the mill is...I think it's a mill....my uncle and I normally takes out the jetskis and are abel to cover a lot of water but we normally stay on the north shore

Learningtofly there used to be a campground right at the very north end of Osoyoos Lake but gone now, it's resort development now and unaccessible last time up there I launched from Public Launch Centre of town but the wind came up, shoulda been out sooner!, thx for the info tho and I will try again.

You are very likely to catch some large northern pikeminnow. I casted a blue fox into that lake a couple of years ago and immediately hooked a monster squawfish, it was around 3 pounds.
-
look out osoyoos, here comes Rodney in search of the monster sqawfish....

Heads up guys.
There is a 300 lot subdivision coming to the north-east side of Osoyoos Lake, with a 150 boat marina, just east of where the river comes into the lake. That is extremely shallow there. I guess they will be dredging it. Paradise lost.
