There is no doubt that the Okanagan Valley is home to two world class Kokanee fisheries being Wood and Kalamalka Lake. For years these 2 lakes have naturally produced incredible averaged sized Kokanee in h
igh numbers. Some of the Kalamalka Kokanee have even neared the world record pushing 9 pounds! In highlighting these 2 amazing fisheries it can’t go unmentioned the remarkable conservation work that has been done by The Oceola Fish & Game Club. (OFGC) It can pretty much be said that these fisheries wouldn’t exist today without the OFGC’s conservation efforts over the numerous decades.
 

To name a few of the OFGC’s Kokanee conservation projects they have included Kokanee egg takes and freshwater incubation to assist in improving escapement results, riparian work around the lakes and creeks, creek debris removals, fish traps for spawner numeration counts and supporting angler creel surveys. These efforts are a part of the ongoing Wood Lake & Kalamalka Lake Kokanee Conservation Project operated by the OFGC Fisheries Committee. The club provides assistance and volunteer conversation efforts where needed to sustain the well-being of these local fisheries.
