Gibran White, hailing from Chilliwack, British Columbia, has spent his life immersed in the natural beauty of his home province. His journey into fishing began on the shores of Cultus Lake and expanded to the mighty waters of the Fraser and Vedder Rivers, the serene Chehalis, and the vast stretches of the Thompson River, along with countless lakes across the Fraser Valley and the BC interior. From a young age, Gibran was guided by his grandfather, who introduced him not only to the intricacies of fly fishing but also to the broader spectrum of angling that would define his future.
-
At the age of 18, Gibran turned his passion into a profession by becoming a fishing guide on the Vedder River, sharing the joy and thrill of fishing with others. His expertise isn't confined to freshwater; at 12 years old, his grandfather took him saltwater fishing in Campbell River, a trip that profoundly influenced his life and fishing career. Today, Gibran is based in Tahsis, BC, at Westview Marina, where he continues to guide anglers in pursuit of Chinook, Coho, Halibut, Lingcod, and a variety of rockfish. However, his true passion lies with chasing Albacore Tuna off the Westcoast of Vancouver Island, embracing the challenges and excitement of the open ocean.
-
Gibran's favorite fishing setup includes the Betsy Flasher paired with a 5-foot leader, often tipped with the Trailhead or Green Herring aid, showcasing his depth of knowledge in effective lure combinations.
-
Outside of fishing, Gibran is an avid hunter and adventurer, cherishing the time spent outdoors with his family. Sharing adventures and creating memories with his loved ones is the cornerstone of his life outside of his professional fishing career.
