SALMON
We fish for all 5 species of Pacific Salmon, which include the
Chinook, Sockeye, Coho, Pink, and Chum. With millions of fish
returning every year up the Fraser River and its tributaries,
it's not uncommon to hook into 40+ fish per day. Last year we
had a phenomenal pink run that surpassed the 20 million fish
mark. We also had a better than average Fraser River Chinook
fishery, with fish averaging between 20-30lbs. Last fall we
also saw a great return of coho, which is a promising sign of
good things to come this year. Sockeye and chum fishing was
great as always, and tons of fun. The salmon fishery can put
a smile on everyone's face.

STURGEON
The Fraser River sturgeon fishery is second to none. We have
one of the world's largest populations of sturgeon, thanks partially
to a total catch and release of these amazing creatures. Their
size and power can be sometimes overwhelming, as they can reach
weights in excess of 1500lbs! The average sturgeon on the Fraser
is between 60-200lbs, and hooking into 20+fish is not uncommon.
We recommend trying sturgeon fishing at least once in your lifetime.
There is nothing else like seeing a 5-10ft fish explode out
of the water, period! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

STEELHEAD
For the more adventurous anglers who are brave enough to face
the winter weather and seek a bit of a challenge, we have a
great steelhead fishery on two local river systems. These two
rivers produce both wild and hatchery fish, with yearly runs
totaling approx. 8-10,000 fish. Hooking and landing one of these
acrobats can be a very rewarding experience. Many fish get caught
in the mid to high teens, with quite a few pushing the 20+ mark.

TROUT AND CHAR
The Fraser River and its tributaries have some great cutthroat
trout fishing. Both resident and sea-run fish can be found in
the rivers at different times of the year. Finding a school
of moving or feeding cutties is half the fun. Once you find
them, it can be a blast as they are quite aggressive and are
willing to chase your presentation. Although we don't target
char (dolly varden) we do catch them occasionally, and they
can be a nice bonus fish for the day. |
