How to catch Trout on Green Lake

There are definitely a few spots on Green lake for fishing that will increase your odds of catching. One worth mentioning is the mouth of the Fitzsimmons Creek. Fitzsimmons Creek is a large creek in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, having its origins at the Fitzsimmons Glacier in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains. This cold glacial water bring a ton of feed and well oxygenated water to Green Lake making it a hot spot for fishing. Fish hold at the mouth of the creek grabbing everything that comes out of the creek in the form of feed. This is why fly fishing is a popular method of fishing on Green Lake. Simple, look to see what the fish are eating and replicate it with a fly pattern that looks just like it. Most of the fly patterns that you will be using this time of year on Green lake will include; Case caddis, Stonefly nymphs, large minnow patterns and large streamers. One of my favorite fly patterns for Green lake is a large Black bead headed wooly bugger. Occasionally you will get some great dry fly fishing, hatches typically happen early morning or late evening on Green Lake. Dry Flies you should try include; Brown Elk Hair Caddis, Hemingway Caddis and my favorite the G & H Sedge. All of these flies and fly fishing equipment are available at Spud Valley Sporting Goods ltd at 1380 Birch Street in downtown Pemberton, BC. Pemberton is 25 minutes North on highway 99, the drive is very scenic and there is fishing along the way.

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.
