Fun Coho Salmon fishing near Whistler BC Canada

Coho Salmon fishing near Whistler BC Canada. It’s that time of year that both Northern Coho Salmon and your typical Coho Salmon start flooding the Streams and Rivers surrounding Whistler, BC. You might ask what the difference between Coho’s are and the Answer is simple. Northern Coho Salmon can reach a staggering 25 LBS, while regular Coho hover between 6 LBS – 10 Lbs. These Coho also have a very distinctive jaw curl, as shown in the picture above. You don’t want to get you fingers in his mouth! Both Strains of Coho Salmon visit the Rivers in Squamish, BC and Pemberton, BC. The two towns listed are approximately a half hour drive either South “Squamish” or North “Pemberton” of Whistler on highway 99.

How to Catch Coho Salmon while Fishing

With the recent arrival of Coho Salmon the guides from the Pemberton Fish Finder have been running around doing their homework. Finding out what works best prior to clients going on a successful fishing adventure is important. Locating holes, colors, patterns and picking up garbage as we go. What we have found to be working best right now has been spoons and spinners while spin fishing. You can’t go wrong with spoons and spinners sporting the colors green or blue. We have found that a slow retrieval speed has been working best, you just want your spoon wobbling and your spinners just spinning. Keep your gear near the bottom for best results. While the Coho Salmon numbers increase in the rivers, we will definitely be putting more time in fly fishing. Remember this is just the start of the Coho Salmon season and there is nothing better than reeling in one of these power horses on a fly rod. Coho are known to put on crazy aerial displays and it’s tough to keep them on a barbless hook , trust me. Below I have included a picture of the spoons and spinners we have been having most success with. All of these lures are available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd in Pemberton, BC at 1380 Birch street. Our in-house brand cost a fraction of comparable lures. Come check them out.

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.
