Quick Overview – What to expect & when to book.

Steelhead - We are currently fishing for Steelhead on the Vedder River in Chilliwack, fishing has been very good this season with lots of steelhead being caught. We will continue to offer guided steelhead trips until mid to late April, then switch to fly fishing for steelhead for the month of May. Steelhead fishing will close on May 31 until next winter.

Sturgeon - We are expecting another great season with lots of large sturgeon so if you are planning on coming out with us this year, book early to ensure you get the dates and guides you are wanting. Some of our more popular guides like Tom & Ryan are already 60 to 70 % booked for primetime so if you're wanting to fish with these guides you better book soon.

Spring Sturgeon Fishing is just around the corner, most of our guests know that spring brings in lots of action often catching 15 to 20 fish per trip. The fish are a bit smaller than in late Summer & Fall but the fishing is still very good. If you're looking for the best time to fish for larger sturgeon, mid August through mid November is best.

August Sturgeon Fishing can be excellent in the Mission area. Last year we saw some incredible fishing in August which is not usually the case so we will have to wait and see how it transpires this season. We will also be offering Fraser canyon sturgeon trips as water conditions are favorable in August. Our team of guides will continue to scan and tag sturgeon throughout the season. For those of you who have helped us tag fish in the past, you will be happy to know that we now have over 43,000 sturgeon tagged in the Fraser with a 53% recapture rate. Thanks to all of our customers who have helped with the tagging program.

Fraser Canyon Sturgeon Fishing is at it's best. August is by far the best fishing in the canyon due to an abundance of sockeye. If you're looking for a wild and wet ride up the canyon with some spectacular sturgeon fishing book August or September. If your staying with us for multiple days, make sure you take at least one day to experience the Fraser canyon.

Summer Chinook Salmon Fishing is shaping up quite well. The early season predictions are in and although the early Chinook runs on the Fraser are not doing so well, the summer and late summer run of Chinook are doing much better. The Fraser looks like it will open for retention on July 15, same as in 2010. Although this is later than normal, we don't usually get good water conditions until then anyway so this will not really effect us that much.

For those anglers who want to fish for salmon before July 15, we will be offering saltwater salmon fishing in Vancouver and Gulf Islands beginning in mid February. The Gulf Islands fish very well for large Chinook beginning in May lasting well into July, we can also fish Vancouver and Gulf Islands all winter season.

Summer Sockeye Salmon Fishing was incredible last season with a record 35 million fish returning to9 the Fraser. The 2011 forecast is out and we are looking at another good run of 13 to 17 million so we should see some great salmon fishing beginning as early as late July. Peak for sockeye is usually August 7 to 21.

September – November - As many of you already know these 3 months are the best of the best. Salmon, Trout and Sturgeon fishing is spectacular. You can fly fish, spoon fish, bait fish, pull plugs, Jig, or float fish with eggs and yarn. Our local rivers are loaded with fish so book early if your wanting to fish with us in the fall.
