Kettle River Rainbow TroutThe Kettle River Watershed supports several wild fish stocks including rainbow trout, whitefish and several species at risk. It is also one of the best river fly-fishing systems in the Okanagan Region. The fishery is focused on wild stocks of fluvial rainbow trout that can attain sizes in excess of 50 cm. In order to protect rainbow trout in this environmentally sensitive watershed, regulatory changes were implemented in 2015. Changes include rainbow trout release and a seasonal closure on some parts during summer months when water temperatures are high. See the water specific tables for the Kettle, West Kettle, and Granby Rivers for more details.

Okanagan Lake Mysis ShrimpThe large fishing vessels you see on Okanagan Lake are part of the Okanagan Lake Mysis Fishery. Mysis shrimp were introduced into Okanagan Lake in the 1960s to provide an additional food source for Rainbow Trout and enhance the fishery. However, these shrimp compete with young kokanee for the same food source (phytoplankton) and their introduction has resulted in negative impacts to kokanee stocks. The Okanagan Lake Mysis Fishery is an experimental initiative, led by the Province, to investigate the feasability of large-scale removal of Mysis from Okanagan Lake, as a method to improve in-lake rearing conditions for kokanee.The primary period of operation is May-October (based on productivity & catch), however the fishery can occur year round. Fishing efforts are focused on the north end of the lake, between Fintry Provincial Park and Cameron Point; where the highest concentration of Mysis shrimp can be found. To date, >657 metric tons of Mysis have been harvested from Okanagan Lake, with an average annual removal of 73 metric tons. Not only is the Okanagan Lake Mysis Fishery helping to recover kokanee stocks, but it also provides significant economic benefits to the local community.For more information about the Okanagan Lake Mysis Fishery, please contact the Fish and Wildlife regional office at (250) 490-8200.

Wood Lake KokaneeWood Lake is the last high use wild stock kokanee fishery in Canada, garnering in excess of 15,000 angler days each year. Kokanee stocks crashed in 2011, resutling in regulatory restrictions. However, successful water management and strong returns have permitted a limited opening for this popular fishery this year.
