What do I
need to bring along?
All rods
reels and gear are provided for you. Some suggestions
for things you should consider bringing are; an extra
pair of socks, sweatshirt, rain jacket (weather
permitting), hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, & gloves (if
it's cold). Please dress in layers as the weather varies
throughout the day. Please do not forget your camera!
Should you be traveling and limited on space, with
notice our guides can provide you with some of these
items.
If I want to bring my own gear what should I bring?
You are more
than welcome to bring your own waders and boots. If you
are coming on a fly fishing trip we recommend a 4-6
weight rod for Trout fishing and a 6-8 weight rod for
Winter Steelhead, or our Wilderness Adventure Trips.
How do I get
my fishing licence?
Fishing
licences are available from your guide. They also carry
the relevant conservation tags should you require one.
We can bill the licences to your account, or you can pay
cash. Prices vary depending on your residency in or
outside of BC. You can also register and purchase your
licence from the BC Government website
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/licences/.
If you do choose to do this, please don't forget to
bring it as there is a government licence replacement
fee!
When is the best time for Sturgeon fishing?
(See
our fishing Calendar for an Overview)
Sturgeon season lasts all year. The peak time for
Sturgeon begins in March and lasts all the way through
November. The cooler weather of December, January, and
February do not stop us from catching Sturgeon in our
covered and heated jet boats.
When
is the best time for Salmon fishing?
(See our fishing Calendar for an Overview)
Chinook are
present in the Fraser year round, but not in significant
numbers until the beginning of June. The season lasts
until mid November.
The height
of the Sockeye season
can be found in late July on the catch and release
waters of the isolated and beautiful Upper Pitt River
(fly only).
The Fraser
River Sockeye run
starts in July and lasts through September. Season
openings are dependent on the run size. Call
604-847-3100 for more information.
On odd
numbered years (2009, 2011, 2013…) the Fraser, Vedder, &
Harrison River experience a Pink Salmon
run like no other! It is possible at the peak of the run
to find a Pink Salmon on your line on nearly every cast!
The run time varies from August to October, please call
for the best times.
Coho Season
begins in mid to late September, and lasts until
mid-November. These hard fighting fish are very
acrobatic and their leaps and jumps when you get one on
your line, will surely impress you.
Chum Salmon
is pound-for-pound, one of the hardest fighting fish.
These fish begin their Fraser and Harrison River runs in
late September and nice, fresh chrome fish can still be
found all the way until late November.
I'm interested in Fly Fishing, what do you offer?
Our Fly
Fishing Guides are very diverse and are comfortable on
all the local waters. It is possible to find great Fly
fishing during all twelve months of the year in our
area. Whether it's Cutthroat Trout
on the backwaters of the Fraser, Winter
Steelhead on
the Vedder, or even Dolly
Varden, RainbowTrout,
Sea Run Bull
Trout & SockeyeSalmon,
on one of our Wilderness Adventure trips-we offer it
all. On a cool day in October it is possible to catch
all five species of Salmon on the fly in one day! Our
Fly fishing Guides are experienced in both single handed
and double handed Spey casting techniques, and are
always keen to help out!
Is the gratuity included in the package price?
A gratuity
is discretionary based on your own personal experience.
As a general rule, we recommend that a client tips
10-20% of the fishing costs. Our guides work very hard
to make your experience the best it can be and they
appreciate tips as recognition of their hard work and
dedication. We'd appreciate any comments that you have
regarding your fishing trip. If you have a great trip,
we want to know about it. If you have any concerns
please don't hesitate to let us know so we can improve
our services
