2021 Ice Fishing Season is Underway

by FishFinder · January 20, 2021

The cold weather is finally here and the lakes are providing safe Ice for Ice Fishing. Typically our Ice fishing season starts December 15th, but that was not the case this ice fishing season. Our season started off with warm un-seasonal weather that was also loaded with moisture in the form of rain. Needless to say the rain has left along with the cloud cover and Mr. Winter is finally here. We have been offering ice fishing trips for the past week with fantastic success. The fish are biting and we have noticed a slight increase in size. These are both welcomed aspects to fishing, at least in my household.

Our company “Pemberton Fish Finder” has made a few changes to our Ice fishing trips this year to provide a safer Winter experience. Understandably, this year we will not be providing ice huts nor transportation. We cannot keep a safe distance while providing transportation or in an Ice Hut. Personally, we have not seen an outcry from our clients and most people understand if we all keep a safe distance, people are much safer. Ice Fishing is a safe outdoor activity. All equipment used is cleaned after each and every tour. The use of Face masks is always recommended if a safe distance of 6′ cannot be met. We take Covid-19 mandates very seriously.

Now that the winter weather is here we always recommend checking the local forecast a day before the trip. We also suggest that your vehicle have good snow tires and or cable chains. Obviously, if the weather is too poor for safe travels we will either refund or reschedule. Clients should always dress for subzero temperatures.

Clothing and Suggestions for Ice Fishing Trips:

Valid BC Freshwater Fishing License
Toque
Winter Gloves
Warm Waterproof Boots
Base Layers
Winter Jacket
Winter Pants
Wool Socks or equivalent
Sunglasses
Facemask or Balaclava
Disposable Hand and Toe warmers
A thermos of hot liquid to drink
Snacks
Ice grips for footwear
Camera
If you are thinking of keeping a fish, bring a cooler.

Winter Fishing Experiences we offer

While Ice fishing is our staple winter fishing experience, the local streams and Rivers provide great fly fishing and spin fishing opportunities. Let’s not forget about the up and coming Steelhead and Cutthroat Season. More information about Winter fishing opportunities on our Ice Fishing page . 2021 Ice Fishing Season is Underway.

I am personally very excited about the new year. Let’s all stay safe and enjoy the great outdoors. We will try our best to provide a Safe, Fun, Educational and Successful Winter Fishing Experience. Our Team look forward to Ice Fishing with you,

Pemberton Fish Finder.

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.
