Lakes near Penticton
Wife and I r thinking about making a move out to the Penticton area now there are 2 large lakes right there but I doubt there are perch or walleye in them lakes so my question is what is there and will it totally change the only way I have ever used a rod and reel for pike walleye and perch? Just thought I would throw out for discussion on the where what and how.

All the lakes in the area have beautiful fish. Skaha lake has rainbow Trout, Sockeye Salmon, Yellow Perch, Common Carp, Pumpkinseed Sunfish, Brown Bullhead, Kokanee Salmon, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow and Burbot. Okanagan lake has Kokanee, Lake Whitefish, Burbot and Rainbow Trout. Vaseaux lake a few miles miles south of Penticton has bass and trout. The streams have trout too.
Your standard rod and tackle should work just fine

Yes.
Your jig box, bottom bouncers , spinner rigs , rapala's , etc, will for the most part collect dust.

Lots and lots and lots of trout... Everywhere! I grew up in Keremeos about 30 miles SW of Penticton. I always preferred stream and river fishing but it is all good. The Similkameen river not only has some really nice rainbows, brookies and cutties, it also has a wicked whitefish run every year. Monster suckers are fun to go after sometimes too. The lakes mentioned above are all good for the varieties stated. Get a fly rod or six!

I caught a huge perch in there a couple yrs ago flipping a 5" senko under some docks.
They are pretty common from what I'm told.
