Visit Kaslo | Kaslo Guide 2019

“The best days are spent fishing!”<br />
Kootenay Lake has some of the best fishing<br />
in Canada. You can fish by boat, kayak or<br />
canoe with bucktail streamers on the surface<br />
or plugs down deep. Or cast from shore with<br />
spoons and jigs. There are three different<br />
types of rainbows in Kootenay Lake: Mykiss,<br />
Kamlooper and the world renowned Gerrard<br />
rainbow with sizes ranging from 1 to<br />

to 15 lbs.<br />

The Kutenai...<br />
“The sturgeon-nose canoe has been<br />
with the Ktunaxa Nation since time<br />
immemorial. Before the white man, with<br />
their automobiles, these canoes were our<br />
vehicles. The design is distinctive to the<br />
Ktunaxa. The purpose of the design was<br />
for the nose to part and glide through<br />
the bulrushes in the valley’s delta. Its<br />
unique nose shape was derived from<br />
the sturgeon fish, commonly found<br />
in the Kutenai lake and river.” These<br />
canoes are still being made in the<br />
traditional manner. Find out more at<br />
