What Species Do We Target?
SALMON
We fish for all 5 species of Pacific Salmon, which include the Chinook, Sockeye, Coho, Pink, and Chum. With millions of fish returning every year up the Fraser River and its tributaries, it's not uncommon to hook into 40+ fish per day. Last year we had a phenomenal pink run that surpassed the 20 million fish mark. We also had a better than average Fraser River Chinook fishery, with fish averaging between 20-30lbs. Last fall we also saw a great return of coho, which is a promising sign of good things to come this year. Sockeye and chum fishing was great as always, and tons of fun. The salmon fishery can put a smile on everyone's face.
STURGEON
The Fraser River sturgeon fishery is second to none. We have one of the world's largest populations of sturgeon, thanks partially to a total catch and release of these amazing critters. Their size and power can be sometimes overwhelming, as they can reach weights in excess of 1500lbs! The average sturgeon on the Fraser is between 60-200lbs, and hooking into 20+fish is not uncommon. We recommend trying sturgeon fishing at least once in your lifetime. There is nothing else like seeing a 5-10ft fish explode out of the water, period! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed
STEELHEAD
For the more adventurous anglers who are brave enough to face the winter weather and seek a bit of a challenge, we have a great steelhead fishery on two local river systems. These two rivers produce both wild and hatchery fish, with yearly runs totalling approx. 8-10,000 fish. Hooking and landing one of these acrobats can be a very rewarding experience. Many fish get caught in the mid to high teens, with quite a few pushing the 20+ mark.
TROUT AND CHAR
The Fraser River and its tributaries have some great cutthroat trout fishing. Both resident and sea-run fish can be found in the rivers at different times of the year. Finding a school of moving or feeding cutties is half the fun. Once you find them, it can be a blast as they are quite aggressive and are willing to chase your presentation. Although we don't target char (dolly varden) we do catch them occasionally, and they can be a nice bonus fish for the day.
