The Salmon are here and the fly fishing is great in British Columbia

As the days get shorter there is a buzz in the Air, the Salmon are here! Chinook Salmon are starting to litter the Banks as they begin to expire. While the Chinook Salmon are expiring the Sockeye Salmon are starting to enter the Rivers surrounding Pemberton, BC. You might ask why we are excited about this and the answer is simple. These massive Salmon leave behind plenty of tasty treats in the form of Salmon Eggs, also known as spawn. Trout have become very accustomed to foraging on Salmon eggs and will travel great distances in search of them. As the Salmon make there way through the Fraser River, Harrison Lake, Harrison River, Lower Lillooet River, Lillooet Lake and Finally Pemberton they have attracted thousands of Trout in their journey.

Once the Sockeye Salmon make it to there staging areas, Trout will not leave the Salmon alone. Trout will continually smack into the side of the Sockeye Salmon in hopes that they will drop some eggs and if they do, there is a feeding frenzy. For this reason the use of a Salmon egg pattern while fly fishing will be very effective this time of year. You will want to position yourself just below the spawning Salmon and roll your egg pattern through the area that they are spawning. Be careful not to walk in the spawning areas and give the Salmon plenty of room, not to disrupt their spawning.

Dry Flies work well While the Salmon are in the Rivers

While Salmon are in the Rivers, don’t forget about throwing dry flies. Just because the Rivers are littered with Salmon, Trout still feed on aquatic insects. There are still some prolific hatches through the months of September and October. These hatches include; Salmon fly, Stoneflies , Blue-Winged Olive which is a small mayfly that hatches in the fall and of course one of my favorite terrestrial the Grasshopper. While everyone is chucking egg patterns a well presented dry fly can catch as many Trout in a day.

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.
