Birkenhead River Fishing Pemberton BC Canada. The Birkenhead River water levels are now starting to recede and pools are becoming more defined. Although the Birkenhead River is starting to recede, the water is still high and very fast. You will spend a fair amount of time looking for quality holding waters and in some points the water is still be high enough that there is limited shore line. Be very careful if you decide to wade in the river. The Pemberton Fish Finder are now starting to offer Guided fishing tours on the Birkenhead River starting today. Fishing Tours will run from now till the middle of November.

Spin Fishing is also very good this time of year.
Birkenhead River has some of the Best Fly Fishing in BC, Canada
While fly fishing the Birkenhead River try using minnow patterns, streamers and nymphs. My favorite fly this time of year is either a golden or black stonefly nymph. Before you start fly fishing, roll a few rocks over along the shoreline to find the size and color of the nymphs. This will drastically help your chances of success. Dry Flies work well this time of year but we have found that wet flies will produce larger fish consistently. The Fly fishing will only get better as the water levels continue to recede.
Spin Fishing is also an effective way of fishing the high waters. Try using small spoons and small spinners. Remember that there is a bait ban on the river and the use of single barbless hooks are mandatory. My favorite lure to use on the Birkenhead River is the Fraser Spinner. This spinner is absolutely deadly and is only available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods ltd. The Fraser spinner was developed for fishing swift waters. Stop by Spud and try one today.
