Best Freshwater fishing in British Columbia Anderson Lake. It’s that time of year on Anderson Lake when the Sockeye Salmon make there long journey up the Fraser River, through Anderson Lake to Spawn in Gates Creek. On there journey they bring along a ton of large Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout to eat there spawn that they leave behind. For the next few weeks and into September the fishing is Amazing on Anderson Lake. This is a Great time to introduce kids, Families and friends to fishing in British Columbia. This time of year we make the comparison to fishing in a barrel. There are tons of Rainbow Trout averaging in size between 16″ – 24″ and weighing as much as 6 LBS. Occasionally we catch Rainbow Trout over 10 LBS, now that’s a huge Trout! Bull Trout in Anderson Lake average between 18″ – 24″ and weigh as much as 30 LBS. Let’s not forget about the incredible Kokanee fishing either. Although the Kokanee are not huge they are the best eating fish in British Columbia. Kokanee in Anderson Lake average between 12″ – 16″ and weigh as much as 4 LBS. Kokanee fishing is a ton of fun. On any given day you can land at least 10 and we don’t mind if you take a few home for dinner.

Best Freshwater fishing in British Columbia

Anderson Lake is located 40 Minutes North of Pemberton, British Columbia. The drive is very scenic and the fishing is Great! While fishing on Anderson Lake, Trolling is the best way to catch Trophy fish. Trolling small bright spoons will work great for Rainbow Trout and Kokanee. The Bull Trout make a steady diet of Kokanee, so use large spoons resembling Kokanee. The picture above shows you there color and try your best to match them. I like to troll fast on Anderson lake between 2 – 3 MPH. This makes your spoons look very crippled and doesn’t give the fish much time to think about eating them. There are a few spots to fish from shore on Anderson Lake. My favorite spot is at the mouth of Gates creek. This time of year there are tons of Sockeye Salmon at the creek mouth waiting for high water. This means the Trout are right there with them waiting as well. The picture below is of Sockeye Salmon that have made it into Gates creek already. Picture was taken August 23rd 2015.

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.
