West Kelowna has an urban fishery right in town. Shannon Lake is right beside the Shannon Lake Golf Course and is stocked with Rainbow Trout every year to ensure you a great day of fishing out on the water. It has a ice parking lot with plenty of space a short walk from the lake. The lake is small enough that you can fish the whole lake on foot. I've had good luck on the shallow shoal areas around the lake that can be easily seen by a quick glance on Google earth before heading out. Spoons and jigs tipped with night crawlers do very well. You can catch trout best in the early am and evening time in depths anywhere from 4 feet deep to 12 feet of water. Watch this video and you'll see how the trout in this lake are used to fisherman and are a little hesitant when it comes to biting an artificial lure. This lake also has large mouth bass and perch. Hope these tips help you out on the water.
