Trophy Trout Fishing Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park. Birkenhead Lake is a very special lake. You will not find a more scenic, clean and well designed Provincial park in British Columbia. There is a great trail network, picnic area and a boat launch with a well kept dock. They have just recently replaced all of there picnic tables in each campground. Birkenhead Lake provincial park is a great place to take families, there is lots for kids to do. They have a swimming area protected by buoys and plenty of shore access for fishing. The campground closes after the Thanksgiving long weekend, but the overflow campground will remain open til snow flies. At this point the gate into the park will be closed and locked.

Birkenhead Lake hold incredible year round fishing. There are 2 major creeks that feed the lake, Sockeye creek and Phelix creek. Phelix creek runs through the middle of the campround and enters the lake at the North end. Sockeye creek enters the lake half way down on the western shore. Both of these creeks have great fishing at the mouth of them. The lake is full of Kokanee, Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout. The Bull Trout are protected in this lake and are considered a trophy species. Bull Trout can reach a staggering 20 lbs in Birkenhead Lake and are easily caught. Rainbow trout are very abundant in the lake and can reach 10 lbs. Kokanee in the lake usually will not grow much larger than 12″. Most of the Kokanee in the lake are very small and are a great food source for the larger predatory Trout. This being said if you want to catch big Trout in this lake you want to resemble a wounded Kokanee. Makes sense, big fish eat little fish as the story goes. There is plenty of shoreline structure for small fish to hide. The deepest point in the lake only reaches 125′. This makes the lake easily trolled without the use of downriggers. I have had great success using willow leafs trailed by a small spoon or wedding band. My favorite lure is definitely the Fraser River Rainbow, which is only available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods ltd at 1380 Birch street in Pemberton, BC. The boys at the shop fish the lake regularly and don’t mind sharing a few local tips.

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.
