Professional Angling Guide
Brad Knowles
Pemberton
Pemberton native. Lifetimer in the Sea-to-Sky corridor. Host of the Elite Fishing TV series. Brad knows the water, the fish, and which fly to tie on without thinking.
Growing up surrounded by world-class fisheries, Brad developed an early obsession with fishing that eventually evolved into a professional guiding career. His experience spans decades on the water, targeting trout, salmon, char, and other freshwater species throughout Pemberton, Whistler, Squamish, and beyond. Brad's ability to adapt to conditions, locate fish, and coach anglers of all experience levels has made him a trusted guide for both beginners and highly experienced fishermen alike.
Brad is also known for his approachable and educational style on the water. Clients consistently praise his patience, technical knowledge, and ability to create memorable days while helping anglers improve their casting, presentation, and overall fishing skills.
In addition to guiding, Brad has been heavily involved in the local angling community and conservation efforts throughout British Columbia. His passion for sustainable fisheries and preserving the region's natural resources continues to shape the way he approaches guiding and outdoor experiences.
The best fishing experiences combine technical knowledge, local insight, and genuine enjoyment on the water — whether it's your first cast or your fortieth season.
Brad runs the Sea-to-Sky day-trip program (Whistler, Pemberton, Squamish) and joins multi-day expeditions where his local knowledge is the difference.
