Fishing

Get hooked in Kamloops, where fishing is available year-round with spring and fall months offering the most consistent open water fishing options. Good fishing is also available during the warm summer months at higher elevation lakes, and early winter provides great ice fishing conditions, as the fish are still actively feeding. Come cast a line on trophy stillwater and experience some of the BC Interior’s best fishing.
