Fishing Pemberton BC at Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park

by FishFinder · April 9, 2015

Some of the best fishing in BC Canada

Fishing Pemberton BC at Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park. Yes, the gate is officially open to Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park. The fishing has been very good for large Bull Trout. On average so far this season The Bull Trout have been between 20″ – 26″ and weighing 3 LBS – 6 LBS. We have been hooking a fair amount of Bull Trout over 26″ with our largest being 31″ this year. The Rainbow Trout fishing has been relatively slow, due to spawning season. Rainbow Trout will make there way back in and out of the lake over the next month. Most of the Rainbow Trout in Birkenhead Lake spawn in either Taillerfer Creek or Phelix Creek. Water Temperature is hovering around 42.6°f and the water clarity is 10 feet. In all of the years fishing Birkenhead lake in Pemberton, BC I have never seen zero snow and green grass growing in April. Typically the gate does not open till the first week in May due to snow pack.

When Fly fishing Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park use large minnow patterns. Minnow patterns should represent a landlocked Salmon called Kokanee. Kokanee are the food staple in this lake. I have also had good success using Stonefly Patterns and Case caddis. There tends to be a decent hatch in the evenings on Birkenhead Lake. Dry flies to try include; Adult May Fly, Tom Thumb and one of my favorites is the Black ant or carpenter Ant.

While Trolling or Spin fishing use large plugs, Apex, Rapala and my favorite the Fraser River Rainbow. You will attract a larger audience with a faster troll or retrieve. A faster troll or retrieve will not give the fish time to think about striking, it becomes more instinctive!

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.
