Birkenhead River Fly Fishing in Pemberton BC at its best. Right now the Birkenhead river is in full flood from the Winter snow melt coming down off of the mountains. It is not a good idea to be anywhere near the main flow of the River because it can be very dangerous. That being said the many side channels that are formed from the high water creates refuge for Trout. Trout venture into these side channels to feed and take a break from the rapid and vigorous flow of the main stem. These side channels contain lots of under cut banks, log jams and fallen trees that are great hiding spots for Salmon fry. Large Trout also take advantage of these structures as ambush vantage points.

As the temperatures rise and dip the water will rise and fall, our guides keep a close eye on the Birkenhead River this time of year. When the Birkenhead River is in full flood it is difficult to fish. High water is caused by either heavy rain or intense heat typically during the window of May 30th – June 15. If the weather cooperates we are able to sneak around the Birkenhead River and target very large Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout. For Birkenhead River flow updates give the boys at Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd a call. The Birkenhead River offers some of the best fly fishing in British Columbia, Canada

The Birkenhead River is one of the Best fly fishing streams in British Columbia and Canada. Simply put it receives a great run of Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon and Sockeye Salmon during the Summer and fall. These Salmon leave behind tasty treats in the way of Salmon eggs in the falls and in the Spring the eggs hatch into fry. Big fish need a steady diet of protein to grow rapidly. Salmon fry provide the nessary protein in a major way. There are also an abundance of aquatic insects that include; Stonefly nymphs, damsel nymphs, case caddis and snails to name a few.

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.
