Conservation 2
We work hand-in hand with the Fraser River Conservation Society collecting data on all Sturgeon that board our boats. This program also allows the unique opportunity for our guests to gain knowledge and have the amazing chance to get hands on and assist our guides with the tagging process. It is with this knowledge and understanding we can help our guests to appreciate this magnificent creature.

Conservation
Great River Fishing Adventures is dedicated to the survival and rebuilding of the population of our White Sturgeon. The most crucial and pressing issues are the preservation and the conservation of this unique fishery. The Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society has initiated a very successful and rare tagging program, which has allowed for the ability to record data such as migration patterns and growth rates. The initiative taken by the anglers on the river to diligently tag and record data on all Sturgeon caught trips is what mainly has kept this fishery open and flourishing. The catch and release tagging program has allowed British Columbia to be recognized as one of the top fishing destinations in the world for Sturgeon fishing.
