Full Day Trolling with Pemberton Fish Finder in BC | Guided Tour | Fishing

Located in Pemberton, British Columbia, Pemberton Fish Finder offers a full-day trolling fishing adventure that stands out among BC’s freshwater experiences. Surrounded by rugged mountains and crystal-clear lakes, this region shelters some of the most coveted fishing waters in Western Canada. The eight-hour fully guided trip focuses on the thrilling pursuit of trophy-sized Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout, and Kokanee in serene lake environments that reveal the province’s wild heart.

Pemberton Fish Finder is led by Brad Knowles, whose lifelong connection to the area and expertise make this outing exceptional. His intimate knowledge of local waters—where to troll with downriggers, when to shift to surface lines, and how to capitalize on creek mouth runs—puts guests in prime position for landing lunkers. Fish exceeding 10 pounds are regular catches, a testament to the rich aquatic ecosystems supporting these species.

Unlike fast-paced charters, this trip embraces a relaxed rhythm, offering families and anglers of all experience levels a chance to engage deeply with the craft and surroundings. The lake’s geology, shaped by glacial sculpting, creates pockets and drop-offs that concentrate fish, while shores echo with native flora and the occasional call of eagles overhead.

Every outing is private, with a max four-client ratio, ensuring personalized attention and an immersive connection to the environment. All gear comes supplied; guests simply bring enthusiasm and perhaps a packed lunch. As the afternoon unfolds, anglers find themselves not just fishing but witnessing the quiet pulse of Pemberton’s wild waters—a rare chance to absorb BC’s natural legacy from a unique vantage.

When water meets wilderness here, the experience is more than the catch—it’s a sustained moment of learning, excitement, and belonging in British Columbia’s storied outdoor landscape.
