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
