Moore Lake near Lake Country: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Within Regional District of Central Okanagan, British Columbia, you have Moore Lake. It sits at 1,322 metres above sea level. Around 21 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work.

This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Moore Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Regional District of Central Okanagan include sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and common carp. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Moore Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -8°C and August at about 14°C, the water has a wide range to work through. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Plan any trip to Moore Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is camping recorded roughly 360 m off. Toilets are 340 m away, which matters on a long session. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Swalwell Lake sits 3.6 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Moore Lake as something to verify.
