Okanogan Country sports more than 100 lowland lakes maintained for fishing, plus boating, swimming, water skiing and thousands of acres available for hunting deer and birds.
     Fishing opportunities range from trout and bass to channel catfish and perch, and from whitefish to steelhead. You can fish from shore, docks, boats and float tubes or drop a hook through the ice in winter.
     Several wheelchair-accessible sites are available.
     The variety continues on the Colville Indian Reservation; a special license is needed to fish specific waters available to non-tribal members.
     Hunting includes upland birds, turkeys, mule deer and other big game.
     More information is available from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, http://wdfw.wa.gov/, and the Colville Confederated Tribes, http://www.colvilletribes.com/.
