Shore Fishing Kalamalka Lake in December | Catch & Maple Smoke Whitefish (Full Tutorial) |

Описание: In this video, I head out to Kalamalka Lake, BC for a December shore-fishing session targeting whitefish. Winter shore fishing can be tough, but I break down exactly how I catch whitefish from shore, even in cold conditions.

After the catch, I take the fish home and walk you through my maple-smoked whitefish recipe step by step — from cleaning and brining to smoking and the final result. If you’re into catch-and-cook fishing, this one’s for you.

Special shout out to friends Mike McLean and George Kahkan for joining me on shore and sharing some of their tips and tricks.

Whether you’re new to winter fishing or looking to improve your shore-fishing success in BC lakes, this tutorial will help you put more fish on the bank and great food on the table.
