BATTLE WITH THE KING OF THE RIVER – THE CHINOOK SALMON
The Chinook Salmon is the king of them all, and they don’t call them kings for nothing. They’re big, they’re strong, and they’ll bust your tackle if you’re under- equipped. They are the biggest of the Pacific Salmon species, and are known to exceed 50+lbs.
We target Chinook Salmon mainly on the Fraser River with common angling practices such as “traditional” bar-fishing and fly-fishing, both single and double spey casting. Hooking these fish is not difficult, landing them is another thing and it is not uncommon to hook into fish over 20lbs in a day.
We also fish for Chinook Salmon on the Vedder River and the Harrison River tributaries as well. These much smaller and scenic rivers provide you with walk & wade opportunities where the Chinook Salmon can be targeted using other methods such as float fishing and fly-fishing.
