What guests say
Nelson is an amazing fishing guide and even better human. He knows so much about the lake and the region, and we learned a ton. I thought I was a fish jinx, but we caught three fish! The best part was being out on the water with the kids, unplugged and soaking in the experience. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal outing. Nelson puts in the work and is passionate about putting you on fish. We caught both rainbows and kokanee. Pleasant, easygoing guy, and dog friendly. Had a blast!

Nelson was an amazing host and guide. He knew where to get the most bites and taught us tons about the history of the lake and best fishing practices. We returned with 3 kokanee and a rainbow trout. I would highly recommend booking Desert Salmon Charters.

The Okanagan is an ideal setting, with large, beautiful valley-bottom lakes, to spend time on the water fishing.
Nelson, owner and operator of Desert Salmon Charters, is an experienced fishing guide with over 35 years of fishing in the Okanagan. For a relaxed day with your family, friends or business team, we offer a downrigger trolling-style fishing experience in our 24' Aluminum Crestliner ‘Eagle’ fishing boat - aptly named Reel Therapy.
Desert Salmon Charters fish a variety of species throughout the year, including sockeye, kokanee, rainbow trout, and lake trout.
We aim to provide a fun-filled day on the water, fishing on some of the most beautiful lakes in Canada.
