Meet Kerry Reed, a seasoned angler with a lifelong connection to the waters of the Kootenays. Born with a fishing rod in hand, Kerry has navigated the diverse fishing landscapes of Kootenay Lake, Columbia River, Elk River, St Mary’s River, and numerous small lakes and streams. His passion for fishing has taken him to the expansive lakes of Northern B.C and the renowned fishing destinations along the West Coast.
Kerry's eyes light up with excitement when the reel starts screaming, reflecting his genuine love for the adrenaline rush of fishing. However, what truly fuels his joy is witnessing others experience that same thrill. In 1998, Kerry turned his passion into a profession by founding Reel Adventures Sportfishing, a guiding business that has thrived for nearly two decades.
Specializing in year-round fishing on Kootenay Lake and Columbia River, Reel Adventures Sportfishing also offers Salmon and Halibut expeditions on the West Coast from July to September. Kerry's commitment to both saltwater and freshwater adventures is reflected in the diversity of Gibbs Fishing products he relies on throughout the season.
On the ocean, Kerry swears by his Gibbs Highliner flashers and G-force spoons, with the 'Skinny G' emerging as his standout lure for Salmon in the previous season. In freshwater, his success in landing Trophy Rainbow Trout and Giant Bull Trout is credited to the effectiveness of Gibbs Croc spoons, Gator spoons, and the irresistible presentation of Gibbs TKO's on the lakes.
For Kokanee fishing, Kerry turns to the reliability of Gibbs Willow Leaf trolls and Gibbs Wedding Bands, ensuring a productive and thrilling experience on the water. To complement his hands-on expertise, Kerry provides in-depth fishing reports on his website. Fishing enthusiasts are encouraged to check out these reports for valuable insights and updates on the latest fishing conditions. With almost two decades of guiding expertise and a genuine passion for sharing the joy of fishing, Kerry Reed stands as an integral part of the Gibbs Pro Team, showcasing the effectiveness and versatility of Gibbs Fishing products across diverse environments.
