Fishing

Grab your tackle box and your fishing rod and get out on one of the Vernon area's lakes for some great fishing. You can rent a boat, or bring your own.

The Anglers Atlas will show you where to launch your boat and what's happening on the lakes.

• Kalamalka Lake
• Okanagan Lake
• Swan Lake

There are many lakes in the Vernon area. Email Tourism Vernon and let them know the type of fishing experience you're looking for, and they'll be glad to make some recommendations.
