Ice Fishing in Kamloops

Kamloops is a top destination for ice fishing, with its original name, T’kemlups, meaning “where the rivers meet.” Surrounded by over 100 lakes, the region offers plenty of choices for anglers. Walloper Lake, just 30 minutes away from Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre, is a family-friendly spot known for its Rainbow Trout. A short drive further leads to Edith Lake, a favorite for both ice fishing and warm-weather fly fishing, stocked with Rainbow and Brook Trout. Paul Lake, also nearby, is ideal for catching Rainbow Trout, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when conditions are best.
