FRASER RIVER
The Fraser River is the single largest river system in British Columbia; traversing three quarters of BC it is the major water drainage of the province. The Fraser River is the home of one of the world’s largest White Sturgeon populations. Anglers travel from near and afar to do battle with these magnificent ancient fish. Not only does the Fraser River boast incredible sturgeon fishing, it is also known for its massive salmon runs, averaging 20-50 million per year.
MONSTER STURGEON OF THE FRASER CANYON
Forty five minutes east of Chilliwack is a beautiful stretch of river that offers a truly remarkable fishing experience. It is the beginning portion of the Fraser River Canyon where the river gets narrower, a lot deeper, and, a lot faster. Most of this part of the Fraser River is simply unfishable, but the areas that are fishable, provide some amazing fishing opportunities BC has to offer. The towering canyon walls, the rugged mountainous terrain, and the impressive power of the Fraser River are what make this locations so spectacular. Featured on National Geographic’s “Fish Warrior” have an opportunity to fish the same area, with the same crew and catch some real huge monster sturgeon!
Only fishable from June through August this highly sought after experience is by far our most incredible adventure.
FISHING FOR WHITE STURGEON ON THE FRASER RIVER
Sturgeon have an immense amount of power and speed, and are capable of peeling 200 yards of line off the spool in seconds. Even though Sturgeon are mostly bottom dwellers, their fighting ability can be compared to that of any BIG GAME sport fish. Sturgeon fishing is available year-round on the Fraser River with the main season running from April to the end of November. During this peak period, Sturgeon gorge themselves on the abundance of food present in the river system.
With White Sturgeon able to exceed 20ft in length and more than 1,500lbs, every angler needs to get out on the Fraser River and have a chance at hooking into one of these prehistoric goliaths.
