Wife and I were thinking of retiring out to Okanogan but found the heat during summer unbearable but still love the area

thanks all... no doubt the summers are bit hot even for an old praire rat but we manage, winters make up for it...LOL... bass fishing in the oliver area is fantastic, nice big lake paddle boats only its a great way to spend a day and the big mouth arnt bad size.

Tried to post a picture on my profile , not sure what i was doing wrong but after two failed tries ..gave up...any suggestions...

thanks ( and stay warm)

Welcome

I've spent a few years in the OK Falls to Osoyoos to Keremeos area and beyond doing field research. Amazing area up into the mountains.

Fishing isn't my cup'o'tea there but it's not far to the Koots or Thompson.

Enjoyed the Similkameen River and some of the pothole lakes up above Oliver.

Are you in Penticton?

Mr Skaha welcome aboard. I am from the other way round. I am originally from Vernon now living in Calgary. I wish it was the other way round though. Gotta love the fishing season down there.

Any how welcome to the forum. There is another good site to check out in BC FlyBC.

Cheers
