Kamloops Area Lakes
Best Fly Fishing Lakes in BC
Home of the famous Kami Trout, the Kamloops Area Lakes have the reputation of being the best fly fishing lakes in BC and has long been known as the choice destination for a BC fly fishing vacation. Blessed with exceptionally productive habitat, there are hundreds of lakes that await your cast. However, it is only in a handful of lakes that large Kamloops trout up to 10 lbs+ await you as you plan your fly fishing vacation. Below is our collection of Kamloops AreaLakes. They are lakes that our author has usually fished a number of times over his 25 year residence in the Desert City.
Pass Lake has long been a quality fishery and in my mind qualifies as the #1 in Best Fly Fishing Lakes in BC - Kamloops Area

If Island Lake was a little closer to Kamloops, it would rival Pass Lake as my favorite fly fishing lake. Tucked in behind the Highland Valley Mine west of Logan Lake, Island offers some of the finest fly fishing for trophy rainbows in the area

Campbell and Scuitto Lakes
Campbell Lake and Scuitto Lake are two of the most productive Kamloops flyfishing lakes. Some publications link them to the Roche Area Lakes however because they are actually part of the upper Campbell Creek watershed and have a separate access location, we have chosen to classify them to be in the Kamloops Area Lakes.
The bottom line is that the nutrient rich waters of the upper Campbell Creek watershed grow big, fat, healthy rainbows.

Edith Lake is located just south of Kamloops off the Knutsford Rd. Previously known as a "brook trout" lake, Edith was one of the first lakes in the area to receive a stocking of triploid rainbows. Now Edith Lake supports some of the largest rainbows in the area, known to reach 12lbs+

Stump Lake is one of the larger lakes in the area and historically has produced large rainbows in excess of 10lbs. However, the water quality of Stump Lake varies with the water level and during consecutive years of low snowfall and runoff, the ph of the lake rises and tests the fishes ability to survive...more on Stump Lake
Situated at the east entrance to the Town of Logan Lake, the lake has contained triploids for longer than most lakes. The amount of feed is incredible so the fish are well fed. They look like little footballs

After re-opening as a catch-and-release only fishery in 2005, Morgan Lake is a new comer to the list as one of the best fly fishing lakes in BC. Just 35 kms from downtown Kamloops BC and only a few kilometers from Tobiano, the new golf community resort located on Kamloops Lake at the 6 Mile Ranch

Hatheume Lake - Best Fly Fishing Lakes in BC
Enjoy a peaceful fly fishing vacation at one of our best flyfishing lakes in BC. Hatheume Lake sits atop of the Thompson Plateau virtually half way between Merritt and Kelowna via hwy 97C - Okanagan Connector.
This reasonably high elevation lake (1402m/4600ft)has been a favorite for trophy fish for almost 50 years. The rainbows here average between 2-4 lbs but there are plenty of larger fish up to 10 lbs or better. The season is from May until late October and is also a prime area for hunting, especially moose, deer and bear

This low elevation (2900ft/ 884m) lake is just a few kilometers SW of Kamloops accessed from the old Lac le Jeune highway. It is can be fished with float tube / pontoon boat or small boat with/without a motor.
Generally one of the earlier lakes to be ice-free (usually 1st week in April), Jacko provides a good fishery for rainbow trout in the spring to mid-summer and again in the fall. The fish tend to be pickier in the fall
