The Similkameen near Princeton is a warmer, drier-country interior freestone holding wild rainbows in riffles, runs and canyon water. It runs clear and low through summer and fishes well on dries and nymphs, though the lower reaches warm up — high-summer fishing is best in the cool of the morning. An accessible interior rainbow river.
