Corbett Lake - info wanted
« on: April 19, 2006, 07:04:43 PM »

Just wondering if anyone has been to this nice looking lake alongside the highway on Merritt- Kelowna road.  I noted that it is private fishing and was wondering if a.) the accomodation and cabins are nice and b.) is it worth the value.  It appears to be about $600 for two nights in a cabin for two of us and if there is lots of fish in the lake, the girlfriend would be pleased.  Any tips or comments would be great thanks.

     If Peter Mcvey still owns and runs Corbett the money for the two of you is worth it. You get a great breakfest and dinner (both served, no bufftet) and the fishing is consistently good for fish between two-four pounds with fish every year pushing 10 pounds and some running into the teens. As I recall he allows you to take two fish per person, however he prefers it to be the smaller ones and they generally taste better anyway should you like to take one or two home (most practice catch and release). As far as day trips go, you use to be able to pay 50.00 per person to launch a tube or small boat (no motors), but it has been a couple of years since I last fished the lake and weekends are normally out of the question for day trips as he tends to like to leave the water for his own guests. I have been up there during the sedge hatch and towards dusk/evening you can hear the fish splashing on the surface, aggressively feeding on those insects. Casting a floating fly into the dark and only hearing and feeling the take is something everyone should experience. Take care and enjoy should you get up their.

Had the pleasure of staying there this past September.  Good meals and accomadations.  Fishing was good.  From what I found was that there were to distinct sizes of fish.  18-22 inchers and 8-12 pounders and not a whole lot in between.  Neither of the sizes fought very well which was dissapointing but it was still fun.  Not the nicest looking fish either but typical; for hatchery trout.  Not sure what the prices were as I was being treated.
