Rainbow Trout from Duffey Lake BC

When it comes to Ice fishing or fishing Duffey lake, it does not seem to matter what you are using. Rainbow Trout seem to be eager to bite nearly anything tipped with bait. This day myself and Sheridan Knowles of the Pemberton Fish Finder were using Northland tackle’s Fireball jig and the famous Fish Talk Zapper. Both of these jigs were tipped with salad shrimp from the Pemberton Valley Supermarket, located in downtown Pemberton. We fished a few different depths and found that fish were more actively feeding mid to bottom. Simply jig in series of 3 – 4 then let sit for 5 – 10 seconds. We found that Trout in Duffey lake were hitting more while the jigs were sitting motionless. The jigging motion seemed to attract them from a distance and once they caught the baits scent, they could not resist putting it in their mouth. Fish On!

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.
