A Look at the Rainbow Trout of Kamloops

Kamloops has long been renowned as the Stillwater Fly Fishing Capital of North America, and for good reason. With over 100 lakes within just an hour drive of the city, it's no wonder why Kamloops attracts an abundance of anglers each season. You don't have to venture far from the city limits to find productive lakes that hold Rainbows of impressive sizes, but what about the fish themselves?
 

Rainbow Trout found in our local waters can be largely divided into three different strains: Pennask, Blackwater and Fraser Valley, and are stocked by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. The Pennask strain has long made the Kamloops area famous due to their aerial acrobatics, and ability to make long runs; this combination provides ample excitement for a fly angler.

Blackwater and Fraser Valley strains each have their own unique qualities. Fraser Valleys are often stocked in lakes that are prone to occasional winter-kill, as their ability to put on weight in a rapid manner is unparalleled. Blackwaters are unique in the sense that they will feed on insects, but also have predacious qualities and will feed on shiners and small bait fish.
