Sockeye Salmon Spawning in Pemberton BC

Spawning Salmon send trout into a feeding frenzy that is unmatched by any hatch that may occur throughout the summer. During the months of September and October there are two Salmon species of importance in the Birkenhead River, Chinook and Sockeye Salmon. Even though the Chinook Salmon have been present in the river system from mid July, they are just now starting to actively spawn. Their eggs are a highly attractive food source for trout and a easily imitated pattern for the fly fisher. Come into Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd. for details about your fly choice and presentation tips. The Chinook Salmon although impressive, weighing in around 30 to 50lbs are not the most important piece of the puzzle.

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.
