Pemberton Fish Finder is a guided fishing outfitter based in Pemberton, British Columbia, offering a broad range of private fishing experiences across local rivers, alpine lakes, and nearby Squamish salmon runs.
Trips include walk-and-wade salmon tours, stillwater fly-fishing from Jon Boats and V-boats, trolling excursions, and seasonal ice fishing adventures. Many tours are fully guided and include gear, instruction on technique, and real-time fly or tackle selection. Sample offerings reference specific platforms and equipment, such as the Marlon SP14 Jon Boat and leg-powered V-boat options, and target species listed by trip type: rainbow trout, bull trout, cutthroat trout, brook trout, Kokanee, and Pacific salmon (Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink).
Pemberton Fish Finder operates private, guided trips suitable for a range of ages and experience levels — some tours note minimum recommended ages (for example, V-boat trips recommended for ages 12 and up). Trip formats cover half-day and full-day durations, and several specialized options include multi-day or overnight ice-fishing excursions. Locations highlighted by trip descriptions include alpine lakes in the BC backcountry and river systems in the Pemberton and Squamish regions.
All trip descriptions indicate guided support and many specify that guides provide gear and technical instruction, making the experiences accessible to beginners while offering advanced tactics for experienced anglers.
