Birkenhead River Fly fishing in Pemberton BC with the Pemberton Fish Finder

Bull Trout catch and release

Birkenhead River Fly fishing in Pemberton BC with the Pemberton Fish Finder. The Birkenhead River in Pemberton, BC has been fishing very well. With the arrival of October you can expect to start seeing Coho Salmon. Sockeye Salmon are now in full spawn mode and the Trout are swimming around cleaning up right after them. With the salmon spawn in full effect, you can count on egg patterns being the most effective way to dead drift while fly fishing. One thing that will help your chances in landing a nice fish will be adding a strike indicator to your fly line’s setup. This will help you spot any trouts interests in your pattern of choice. The Birkenhead river offers some of the best fly fishing in BC and the World.

Bull trout are the largest trout species you will find in the Birkenhead river at this moment and there are plenty of them to be had. Rainbow trout are also a beautiful fish to target, so you wont be needing much more than a 6 weight fly rod. With the salmon run in full effect you can expect to see some bears on the river so make sure you have some bear spray handy at all times while on the river or in the bush. You can purchase bear spray at Spud Valley Sporting Goods ltd. at 1380 birch street in Pemberton, BC.

Fly fishing day trips from Vancouver, BC

Birkenhead River Fly fishing in Pemberton BC with the Pemberton Fish Finder

The Birkenhead river is a short 2 hour drive from Vancouver, BC. This makes it a very attractive Fly fishing day trip from Vancouver. It is not uncommon to have the entire river to yourself, not your typical day on the Vedder River or Squamish River. There are lots of wildlife that include; Bald Eagles, Black Bears, Salmon and Deer that can be observed throughout a typical day on the Birkenhead river. This gives you the feeling that you are in a very remote part of Canada, with the exception that Whistler is only 35 minutes down the road. After a great day of fishing, put your feet up and enjoy a warm meal at one of the 50+ restaurants that Whistler and Pemberton have to offer before the trek home along the Sea to Sky highway. This is truly a recipe for a great day!

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.
