By Captain Geoff, Okanagan Bucktail Co.

Okanagan Lake is one of the best places in Canada to troll for trophy-sized rainbow trout, and the most effective way to catch them is by trolling. As a professional guide, I’ve helped countless anglers land their biggest fish ever using proven trolling techniques.

Expert Tips for Trolling Trophy Rainbow Trout on Okanagan Lake

🎣 Bucktail Fishing for Giant Rainbows, Bucktails are my go-to for landing big rainbows. These flies imitate baitfish and drive predatory trout wild. The key is to troll them between 2.5 to 3.5 mph at the right depth.

📍 Best Spots:

• Wilson’s Landing & Squally Point

• Off the shores of Kelowna & Peachland

• Around stream mouths where baitfish gather
