Lower Lillooet River – BC Fishing Reports

by FishFinder · March 16, 2013

Lower Lillooet River – BC Fishing Reports, It is that time of year when the river banks are clear of snow and the water is boiling with Sea Run Coastal Cutthroat Trout. The fishing has been very good For large Rainbow Trout, Coastal Cutthroat, Bull Trout, with the occasional Steelhead and Chinook passing by. Water clarity is much better than last year and visibility is between 3′-4′. We have found the fishing to be best at the confluence of clear tributaries to the Lillooet River. Although the main channel is holding just as many fish, visibility may have been playing a role for fly fishing. Gear fishing is very productive throughout the river with the use of bright spoons, blades, rubber worms and Gooey bobs. All of the Trout we caught were absolutely full of Salmon fry to the point of puking them up upon hooking and handling. This being said we matched the Fry to a couple patterns in our boxes and then we really started getting into them heavily. I landed 20 Trout myself this Rainy day on the fly, while my fishing partners did about the same. Minnow patterns 2″-2.5″ in length, white belly with a forest green back seemed to be the answer. Simple patterns like the Lillooet Killer, Bead Headed Brown Wooly Buggers and Muddler Minnows were also working well. Lillooet Lake forest service road is fairly rough but there was a grader working it on the East side. The road down the West side of the Lillooet River is still closed due to trees across the road and should be open any day. Always pack a spare tire, tire pump and plugs when traveling Lillooet lake road. The Pemberton Fish Finder offers full day fishing tours on the Lower Lillooet River, Lillooet Lake and the Upper Lillooet River.

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.
