Fishing Guide

Company Description Whistler Year-Round Fishing is based in the scenic mountain town of Whistler, British Columbia, offering guided fishing experiences throughout the year. The team’s guides each have over a decade of experience fishing the surrounding local waters. The company focuses on nearby, highly productive lakes to maximize time spent fishing rather than driving. This specialized approach allows the guides to know a select group of local water bodies better than anyone else. As a result, Whistler Year-Round Fishing provides guests with efficient, high-quality outings backed by deep local expertise.

Additional duties include preparing equipment (including fly setups), maintaining boats and gear, and assisting with trip logistics and guest communication before and after outings. The guide is expected to uphold high standards of professionalism and service while representing Whistler Year-Round Fishing on the water and at the dock.
