Pennask is the wild high-plateau lake that gave BC its famous free-rising rainbow strain — remote, cold and prolific, with mayfly and sedge hatches that bring big numbers of willing fish to the surface. It's a dry-fly stillwater at heart, with classic chironomid and leech fishing too. A bucket-list interior lake with a real sense of wilderness.
Pennask is a legendary high-plateau wild-rainbow lake west of Kelowna — the source of the famous Pennask strain of fast, free-rising rainbows used to stock waters across the province. Remote and high, it's a wild fishery known for prolific mayfly and sedge hatches and for trout that come willingly to the dry. A storied, fly-only-spirited destination lake.
