White Sturgeon
The White Sturgeon fishing opportunities are available year round. Although some months are better than others.
January thru March tends to be a little slow due to cold water conditions and lack of fresh food in the river. As April arrives so do the Eulichans, the first feeding opportunity of the year for Sturgeon. Although the Eulichan run is disappearing, the Sturgeon still start to feed more agressively. As June and July approaches, Salmon start to enter the Fraser River, the water temperatures are rising and the Sturgeon become more active as well. Once August arrives and the Sockeye are in the river Sturgeon fishing really starts to pick up. Now we are into late August and early September, the Sturgeon fishing can be very good. The last two weeks of September thru mid to late November the Sturgeon fishing is "Out Of Control". The fall is by far the most exciting time of the year in the Fraser Valley for large Sturgeon. Hooking and enjoying the spectacular fighting abilities with aireal leaps completely out of the depths of the White Sturgeon is second to none. It is not uncommon to fight 10 - 20 Sturgeon in a single outing.

Sockeye Salmon
Sockeye Salmon start to enter the Fraser River in July, with the main run of fishing showing up in early August and lasting from two - four weeks. Sockeye range from 4 - 12lbs and are referred to as the best eating Salmon. The weather is warm and the fishing can be amazing. However, the Sockeye Salmon fishery is slowing down. Please be aware that this fishery may not be available in 2008 due to changes in the Fisheries Regulations. At the time of booking your trip I will go over these changes with you.
