2016 Pemberton Winterfest Ice Fishing Derby

2016 Pemberton Winterfest

2016 Pemberton Winterfest Ice Fishing Derby. It’s that time of year again! We are super excited to announce the schedule for the 2016 Pemberton Winter Festival. This year marks the 3rd annual Pemberton Winterfest Ice Fishing Derby. We have made a few changes this year because of changes to the fishing regulations on One Mile Lake. This year both kids and adults will be able to participate. Both Spud Valley Sporting Goods and the Pemberton Fish Finder will be hosting the event and as usual there will be trophies and lots of prizes to be won. Make sure you bring your kids out to enjoy a fun day on the ice! There will be a few ice fishing rod combos available but we encourage people to bring there own gear. Spud Valley Sporting Goods located at 1380 Birch Street in downtown Pemberton, BC is well equipped with all of your ice fishing needs. We will have a couple gas powered augers with us so don’t worry about finding a hole to ice fish from. Make sure that all participants 16 years and older hold a valid BC Freshwater Fishing License. Fishing Licenses are available online. We will definitely need a few volunteers to help host this event this year, we typically see 200 participants. If you are interested volunteering please email Melissa at info@pembertonfishfinder.com

This year the we have a warm up on Saturday January 23rd, 2016. This day people are free to find a lucky hole, test different baits and receive helpful ice fishing tips from one of our professional ice fishing guides from the Pemberton Fish Finder. The Ice Fishing Derby is on Sunday January 24th, 2016 from 10 AM – 3 PM. The Pemberton Winterfest Ice Fishing Derby is a free event and everyone is welcome to participate.

Last years first and second place winner’s fish were caught on the famous Zapper ice fishing jig. The Zapper is only available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods. Best of luck to all that participate and we look forward to ice fishing with you.

I was born and raised in Pemberton, British Columbia. As a young boy, the small town of Pemberton didn't offer the youth many things other than great fishing. So every waking moment I would be seen fishing the local rivers and lakes on a daily basis. In 1976 My Father "Ivan Knowles" opened Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd, and how fitting he had his two boys running the shop who were both very avid in hunting, camping and most of all ... fishing. Everyday people from all over the World would come in and get the local scoop, buy their gear and be off to catch fish. Later on My local knowledge and ability to help people catch fish would come in handy. Soon I ventured away from the family business to work as a angling guide for 5 years. In those 5 years I stared in my own fishing show called ELITE FISHING which was seen by 100,000 people a week on Whistler Cable. I have made a name for myself as the man to see if you want to catch fish. Now back working at Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd, "The Family Business", I love working with my brother Sheridan and father Ivan. Also a proud member of the fisheries committee for Pemberton Wildlife Association - helping make local decisions on local fisheries. I have a passion for fishing and seeing other people catch fish and this shows with my New Business venture The Pemberton Fish Finder, Visit my website for the Best fishing Tours and Fishing Reports for Whistler, Squamish, Vancouver, Lillooet and Pemberton BC, Canada.
