IAN BIELA

Hailing from Chilliwack, British Columbia, the Vedder River has been my backyard and playground since day one. It’s where I hooked my first passion for salmon fishing, and now, as the owner of Diamondback Sportfishing, I get to share that love every day.

Guiding folks through thrilling fishing adventures isn’t just a job—it’s my passion. I am grateful to be in a position to share what we have here and I guarantee an unforgettable experience, filled with epic catches and lasting memories. What I love most is the chance to meet new people and form genuine connections. And even on my days off, you’ll find me by the river, scouting its ever changing flows and soaking in the beauty of the Fraser river watershed. Come join me on the water—it’s where the real magic happens.
