THE LARGEST SALMON SPAWNING RIVER IN BC!!
Sockeye Salmon are the first to move into the Harrison River in August and continue to enter until the end of September. These chrome beauties are an amazing experience to catch! Chinook Salmon enter the river year round although the most fishable time is usually October and early November. These are the biggest of the big often-exceeding 30lbs. Timing is everything with Chinook salmon as most of these brutes use the Harrison as traveling grounds and a “run” of fish can easily push through in a few days. A battle with “The King” challenges even the most advanced angler. Chum Salmon are next entering towards the end of September and peaking around the third week of October. These brutes are some of the largest in the world often topping 20lbs. They respond very well to the fly and large fish are the norm when targeting this species. Coho Salmon begins to filter into the system in the beginning of October. These fish represent the pinnacle of success for the Harrison River fly fisher. The spookiest and toughest to catch, the Coho Salmon is the “trophy” fish of the river. When “in the mood” Coho Salmon can become reckless takers, often chasing flies for some distance or making surface attacks in plain view. Are you up to the challenge?
