Activities/Fishing :

Both Tunkwa Lake and neighbouring Leighton Lake are open for fishing from May 1st through November 30th but we are in close proximity to many other lakes with year round fishing opportunities.  Current Tunkwa regulations enable all legal forms of fishing including fly fishing, bait fishing and artificial lures. 

The only fish species in Tunkwa Lake is Kamloops Rainbow Trout.  Trophy fish in the 10 pound class with numerous smaller fish are caught each year.  Our fish are very aggressive, and hooking one is just the start of the battle! These fish are famous for their incredible strength and jumping ability!  Guests are welcome to view the "bragging board" in the resort store to see some of the great fish caught in the lake.

• We have over 1400 feet of shoreline with many great spots to fish from shore.
• We are very close to the Thompson River with it's world renowned Steelhead Fishery, also known for good summer dry fly fishing.
• Our lake is famous for it's incredible Choronomid Hatches which make Tunkwa Lake Trout grow fast and strong.
• The Resort Store features locally tied custom and premium flies designed to entice Tunkwa lake Trout.

Guests are invited to regularly check our website for updated fishing reports.  Guests can bring their own boats or rent one from our fleet of large clean powerboats. As a reminder, the lake is restricted to 10HP or less.  We offer guests a selection of popular local flies , fishing tackle, equipment and bait.  We'll also keep your fish in our larger freezer until you are ready to take your catch home.
