Kamloops Ice Fishing

[showtimebc]

Hi there, just wondering if anyone has some input on any local lakes (within an hour) of Kamloops that have some good ice fishing opportunities.

Much appreciated, thanks!

Oh and any ice fishing techniques would also be appreciated. I'm an ice fishing noob! :mrgreen:

If you want to find some sweet spots of your own...

has the stock reports for the last 5 years. Look for small lakes, by small I mean pond size, less than a couple kilometers long, that have been stocked consistantly over the last few years with high numbers in comparison to their size. Any small lake stocked with triploids in the last 3 years will have some big fish in there. Numbers might be low in some due to winter kills or being over fished. There are a lot out there with amazing numbers and size though. Put some time in and you'll be into some great fishing in no time. Don't be afraid to switch up what you're doing every few hours if you're having no luck. Bait, lure, depth, action etc.

A good start would be using shrimp or krill, fishing the bottom 5 feet of any lake you decide to go to.

Good luck!

I hear Tulip and Bleeker winter killed. So might not want to waste too much time there this year.
