Whistler Fishing Spots and Fishing Guides

Best Fly fishing guides in British Columbia

Whistler Fishing Spots and Fishing Guides. Whistler is best known for its breath-taking scenery and passionate community. If you ever get lost or have a general question, do not hesitate to ask a Whistler local because they will gladly take the time to point you in the right direction! The majority of people that live and visit Whistler are outdoor enthusiasts so we are all in the same boat. Whistler is situated in an ideal location that gives tourists access to a wide variety of different terrain within minutes. You can start your day exploring one of the many hiking/biking trails and be on the ocean by the early afternoon! Every stream and lake are glacial fed, making the water extremely cold. As the streams and rivers pound down through the mountains it takes on a very high oxygen level. Trout and Salmon love Cold and well oxygenated waters. Most of the smaller lakes surrounding Whistler have a healthy source of aquatic food that include; Dragonfly nymphs, damsel nymphs and freshwater shrimp to name a few. This accounts for the rapid growth of Trout in the Whistler area.

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.
