River Fishing in Whistler British Columbia Canada

River Fishing in Whistler British Columbia Canada.  Whistler is located in the beautiful coastal mountains of British Columbia, Canada.  The Rivers and Streams are all glacial fed.  This keeps the waters cold and well oxygenated throughout the year.  Cold water is a key piece for the survival of  Salmon and Trout alike.  First thing you will notice is the hazy blue color of the water, this is caused from glacial till.  There is plenty of aquatic and terrestrial life in and along our Streams and Rivers.  Some of these include Grasshoppers, Stoneflies (Plecoptera), Caddis Flies (Trichoptera), Minnows and in the Fall a healthy helping of Salmon spawn.  Some of the more notable Streams in the Whistler area are the Birkenhead River, River of Golden Dreams, Fitzsimmon’s and Green River.  All of these rivers mentioned have a healthy population of Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Bull Trout and Dolly Varden.  The Birkenhead River also receives Salmon throughout the Summer and Fall months.  Fly fishing and Spin Fishing are popular methods of fishing in the Whistler Rivers.  While Fly fishing try using Caddis Flies and Sedges on floating lines.  On Sinking lines use Stonefly Nymphs, Streamers and Egg patterns.  For a great selection of Fly fishing supplies stop in the local fly shop Spud Valley Sporting Goods Ltd.  At 1380 Birch Street in downtown Pemberton, BC.  The Sports shop is well equipped with both Spin fishing and Fly fishing gear.  They have a great map on the counter that shows the local hot spots for fishing.  You can also buy maps which the staff will gladly circle a few great fishing locations.  While Spin fishing try using small spinners and small spoons.  Try mixing up your retrieval speeds, some days the fish like a slow or fast retrieve.
