Guided Fishing Charters Target Species

The most popular and consistent fishery of the Fraser Valley, throughout the course of the year is for White Sturgeon. Ranging in length from 2ft to 12ft, you never know what's biting at the end of your line. With the average size being around 4ft., these fish provide a lot of fun and excitement. With their thumb burning capability, and their acrobatics, these prehistoric fish truly are a one of a kind. The Fraser, Harrison and Pitt Rivers provide world class Sturgeon fishing opportunities. We fish for Sturgeon out of our comfy jet boats, with a set line, and a bait of choice, depending on the time of the year. Peak times are April 15th to November 15th. However, they can be caught year round. A Sturgeon fishing adventure is a must do for the hard core, as much as it is for a family day on the water.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of Chinook salmon still swimming through the Fraser River, the early/summer runs are not open to sport fishing.  There are some opportunities in September and October for some late run fish in some of the local tributaries.

The Coho is probably the most acrobatic specie of the Pacific Salmon.  Their typical return window is from Mid- September to November.  Although we’re not able to target them on the main stem Fraser River, we have some fantastic days chasing these silver bullets in the local tributaries.  Coho can be targeted many different ways. These include: drift fishing, fly fishing, and spoon/spinner casting.

It is a known fact the Sockeye salmon migrating through the Fraser River to their spawning grounds for the most part do not bite. Most of the fish are hooked through the outside of the mouth by a method called bottom bouncing or flossing.

Please note, we will not bottom bounce if a request is made by DFO not to do so. However, there are other systems in the area where staging sockeye can be sport caught.

The Fraser Valley Chum season runs from October to November. During these two months, they are usually the most plentiful salmon, although in recent years, their availability has not been as consistent.  When we’re able to target them, they're quite easy to catch, and provide a lot of excitement. Most of the time, we target Chum Salmon in the Harrison or the Stave Rivers. Float fishing with wool/jigs or fly fishing are the 2 most popular and productive methods. Pound for pound these are some of the strongest fighters in the salmon kingdom.

The Pink salmon migrate through the Fraser River and its tributaries every other (odd) year. Even though they're the smallest of the Pacific Salmon family, they provide a lot of fun on light gear. We use either light spinning tackle, drift gear, or fly. On many of days, a good fly angler can hook many of dozens of these feisty fish.

The Fraser Valley trout fishing scene also isn't what it once was. Even though Cutthroat Trout can still be fund in some of Fraser's back waters and tributaries throughout the winter months and when the salmon fry hatch, it's a real hit or miss. Locally we do not guide for cutthroat, but on occasion will tie into one as by-catch. However, we do have some true wilderness haunts where wild cutthroat up to 3lbs. can still be caught consistently.

Bull Trout and/or Dolly Varden can be found in some of the local waters during different times of the year. It's not a super consistent fishery, but it can have its days. This is something to think about on an extended trip, for a change of pace. These fish can be quite easily persuaded drift fishing, spoon fishing or on the fly. Once again, we do fish for Char up to 8lbs. in some magnificent waters out of the beaten path.
