Fly Fishing Report for the Birkenhead River in Pemberton BC.

The Birkenhead River has some of the Best Fly fishing in British Columbia, Canada for Trout. The Pemberton Fish Finder is super excited to announce that the Birkenhead River is officially open to fly fishing once again. This year with the drought conditions the provincial fisheries team decided that a blanket closer for region 2 was a good Idea to protect fish stocks. Lets just say that it worked! I have yet to see better Trout fishing myself on the Birkenhead River. The Birkenhead River is absolutely full of spawning Chinook Salmon. Please note that there is no fishing for Salmon in the Birkenhead River and try your best to avoid walking through their spawning beds. We recommend the use of light leaders in case you accidentally snag a salmon. Typically you will not need a tippet strength greater than 6 LBS for Trout fishing in the Birkenhead River. Occasionally we see Trout over 6 LBS and there are lots of Trout between 12″ – 18″.

Both Sockeye Salmon and Chinook Salmon overlay spawning in the Birkenhead River. The Chinook Salmon are just finishing up and the Sockeye Salmon are just starting to spawn. You will observe plenty of dead Chinook Salmon that have washed up on the shorelines of the Birkenhead River. This is a natural thing, once a salmon has finished Spawning they protect there eggs until they expire. The reason they protect there eggs is because Trout have an acquired taste for their spawn. Trout harass the Spawning Salmon to eat there eggs. Once Trout are eating salmon eggs they can be fooled easily with an egg pattern and a good presentation. The Pemberton Fish Finder can help you with your Presentation, pattern selection and take you into some top secret fishing locations along the Birkenhead River. We put our clients on thousands of fish annually by providing a Safe, fun and rewarding fishing experience while mastering the art of Fly Fishing.

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.
