First Fish of the 2013/14 Ice Fishing Season

Ice Fishing in Pemberton and Whistler BC Canada

Ice Fishing in Pemberton and Whistler BC Canada. The first fish of the 2013/14 Ice fishing Season has been caught. A beautiful Rainbow Trout weighing in at 1.5lbs. The temperature was a brisk -14°c. The ice was forming very rapidly so we were continually having to clear ice from our holes. If you kept your bait out of the water too long it would freeze solid. We have checked a few lakes in the area with Blackwater lake having the most ice. Blackwater lake already has a staggering 8 inches of ice. The ice is clear black ice. Believe it or not the ice is so clear that you can see fish and the fish can see you. So we found that the fishing was quite better once we set up the ice hut. Then the fish could not see us and we could see them “really neat”. Also the use of an ice hut makes those cold days more comfortable. Our first tour of the year landed 4 Rainbow trout and missed numerous bites. The second tour landed 9 Rainbow Trout. Even our guides needed to shake a little rust. Hopefully catching more fish each and every tour is a trend for the season.

What we have found to be working the best so far this year is a Zapper Jig “red in color” tipped with shrimp. Normally Trout like a longer more aggressive jigging motion. This year they have been hitting a more supple less aggressive jigging motion. Depth has not been an issue because we have been catching them at all depths. We even caught one yesterday when the hook was roughly 2 feet under the ice. My client actually saw this Rainbow take his hook, boy that was exciting! If you are looking for the Famous Zapper ice fishing jig look no further than Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd. 1380 Birch Street in Downtown Pemberton, BC.

We will be doing some ice fishing in Whistler in the next few days and will give you a report. Below are a few pictures from our last 2 Ice fishing tours. If you would like to give Ice Fishing in Pemberton and Whistler BC Canada a try, give us a call. We can accommodate you on short notice and or arrange to have you go with another group. Either way there is nothing More Canadian than Ice Fishing. Visit our website for more information and rates http://pembertonfishfinder.com

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.
