Fly fishing Whistler BC

If you were thinking of visiting the Pemberton/Whistler area for fishing, this is a great time of the year to do so.  Most of the streams and Rivers in the area have been fishing well.  During the past week of warmer than average temperatures we saw some pre-freshet run off.  Recently the temperatures have started to fall back into a typical range for this time of year.  This has brought the water levels and clarity back for favorable fishing.  Rivers that have been producing are as follows; Ryan River, Birkenhead River and The Green River.  The Upper Lillooet  prior to the warm weather was fishing incredible.  With the warmer than usual weather, the Upper Lillooet River has become silty.  A couple days of cooler weather will have it fishing great again.

Fishing Pemberton BC

The Local lakes in Whistler and Pemberton, BC are now free of Ice and have been fishing exceptionally well.  So, If you’re thinking of visiting Pemberton or Whistler make sure to bring your lake fishing gear along with you.  A few lakes worth checking out in Whistler and Pemberton, BC during April are as follows; Alta Lake, Green Lake, Mosquito Lake, Anderson Lake, Ivey Lake and one of my favorites is Lost Lake.  Lost lake this year has been producing some decent Rainbow Trout between 12″ – 20″ and can weigh as much as 2.5 LBS.  Lost lake is easily fly fished with small nymphs and wooly buggers.  The lake also has numerous docks and being that the water is still very cold, you will not be fighting over dock space with recreational swimmers and sight sightseers.
