The Harrison river is crawling with fresh big Chum Salmon, often getting fish on every cast! all our recent trips have produced limits for our clients! Coho peak times are typically Oct 7-25 but this year the run is a bit later. Chum salmon fishing is quite good and it's OPEN for retention again until December 31! Chums are available from Oct 7 to late November. Early to late October is prime time for Fraser valley Coho and we are experiencing another great return this fall. Prime Coho dates are available. November has some real good Chum salmon fishing for feisty chrome fish! and Coho should be available through to mid November.

Sturgeon fishing has really picked up and we have prime bait which means your going to have some great results for fish averaging 5-7 feet!. Recent trips have produced double digit numbers of fish, many fish in the 5-7 foot range. This is a thrill for those wanting a true sportfish experience but is not for children. Sturgeon are available March until December, peak times are July to mid November where giant monster size fish are available, book your trophy Sturgeon fishing trip soon as dates fill up quickly. Average size fish is around 5-6 feet with some beasts up to 1,000 lbs! Complaints of sore arms are heard daily!! A client last year who fishes a lot down in Mexico for Marlin and has taken huge Black Marlin to 600lbs, had complimented our Fraser river Sturgeon as one of the best fighting fish he has ever encountered! Our success is based on years of experience and prime baits. We also have lots of experience providing large corporate or stag party fishing trips up to 25 people.

If you want to experience one of the worlds best fighting fish then the Fraser river Sturgeon is it and we are your perfect solution to fulfill your angling dreams! Single day or multi-day fishing packages are available with lodging. Our experience and knowledge will assure you a successful guided fishing adventure! Give us a call for booking info.
