John GaleJohn Gale

A professional guide in the Whistler area for the past nine years, John Gale loves fishing more than anyone we have ever met. John is the heart and soul of the modern day angler combining all of the elements in equal portions. A very patient fisherman, skilled caster and flytier as well as passionate environmentalist, John is a complete angler. One cannot spend time on the water with him without coming away from the experience feeling a little more in touch with Mother Nature. A true lover of all fishes, John is a big Steelhead fan and logs many days on the Squamish every winter and spring in search of his favourite fish. When there are no Steelhead to be caught John usually can be found on the Birkenhead river and he is rumoured to know it as well as the Bears. John spent much of his formative fishing years at his family’s camp on the fabled Babine River in northern British Columbia, one of BC’s finest Steelhead waters. It must be his Skeena country upbringing but john is drawn to the north and it’s many Steelhead rivers each fall. He is also a regular on the Thompson and it is very common to find him there on his days off in the summer and fall months. John is the quintessential angler, so much so that he has been cast in TV commercials where such an image is desired. John has been a Whistler resident for twenty years and knows the area like very few others.
