BC Fly Fishing Tips

Gwyneth Lake is absolutely full of Rainbow Trout ranging in size from 10″ – 20″ and weighing as much as 3 Lbs. It had been roughly 20 years since I had fly fished Gwyneth Lake, so I had a bit of work ahead of me before i started fishing. First, I combed the shoreline for aquatic life to get my size, pattern and colors. I noticed that there was a ton of water boatmen, brown chironomids, damsels and scuds. With this in mind I started with a Brown chironomid, on one rod and a water boatmen on my other rod. I had instant success With both, but I was not catching anything of size. At this point noticed something a bit larger than a Water boatmen swimming in the water that looked a lot like a black Spratley. As soon as I made the change to the Black Spratley, the size of fish increased drastically. They were destroying the black spratley with vengeance, upon being hooked they would break water hurling themselves upwards of 6′ out of the water. I found this very exciting and so did my fishing partner Rick. During the evening hours we swapped over to an Adams dry fly and took numerous Trout off of the surface. Make sure you bring some powder fly floatant. Loon outdoors makes a great product called “Top Ride”. Using this product will cut time false casting to dry flies. Below is a few pictures of flies we had success fly fishing Gwyneth Lake. All of the flies below are available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd. at 1380 Birch street in Downtown Pemberton, BC.

Closing notes; It had been a very long time since I last visited Gwyneth lake. The lake is absolutely stunning in every direction and the fishing was fantastic. Always do your homework when visiting a new lake, it will pay off. If you are new to fly fishing, I always recommend going out with a fly fishing guide. I’m not saying this because I am a guide, but you will be amazed what you will learn. We like to call it the fast track to success.

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.
