Thank you for the most enjoyable fishing trip of a lifetime. You are the number 1 in my books. Brian

Hello, some pictures from last week. was a great day. cheers Kyle


A few photos of the trip, many thanks for a fantastic time again. 44 fish including 2 at 7 ft 6 ins in 2 1/2 days fishing with nobody else on the river! All the best for the new year and we will see you again in May. Many thanks and tight lines. Kevin and Susan.

Thank you so much for the picture Erik!

We all had a fantastic afternoon - and I think we were on the best boat with the best guide, which is why we obviously had the best fish! Hope you have a good summer

Thanks Jacquetta


Hi Tony Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you again for another great holiday with Harrison Bay. As usual the hospitality from you, Elan and all the guides was beyond excellent (a rod for your own back!). Hopefully the fishing has got a little easier in the last couple of weeks, still, about time you had to work for your fish :-)

Dear Rick

Thank you for one of the most exciting and enjoyable days fishing of my life and in such wonderful surroundings. Totally Awesome! Looks like I'm seriously addicted to BC and I'm told there's no cure so threre's every possibility I'll be back for more of the same next year. Thanks once again.

Kindest Regards
Bob Francis




Dear Tony,

A very BIG thanks to you for a successful and extremely enjoyable sturgeon fishing adventure! We appreciate all the effort you put into each day, ensuring that we were on top of the fish and of your knowledge of the Harrison and Fraser. Also thankyou for keeping an eye out for the amazing wildlife along the river, knowing it was also of interest to us you would slow down and position your jet boat so we could get a better view...much appreciated!!

We know what it takes to run a successful guided fishing holiday from experience, though we go after a different species at Canadian Carpin the demands are much the same and each day is as equally important to the other when out on the river fishing. Day after day a guides enthusiasm to get his guests catches needs to remain at a high level, equal or superior of that of his guests, and your enthusiasm was spot on!

All the best,
Paul & Lisa Hunt

Jeff Sturgeon Fishing

Chad ,

I have attached the picture I got of the sturgeon jumping over Jeff's shoulder. You can tell the fishis big, but maybe not that it is over six feet long. We really enjoyed our trip up there. I have now triedfour different combinations for my infrequent tripsto the Pacific Northwestof places to go and people to fish with, from the Olympic Peninsula to Vancouver Island to mainland B.C.For us, the small town, multinational atmosphere and the lovely lake view added to our enjoyment of staying in Harrison Hot Springs. You guys are my favorite, and I would love to fish with you again if I have a chance.

Hi

Just a quick note to thank Jordi and the team for making our time with you a trip of a lifetime, hope its stopped raining !! once again many thanks.

Peter Swain & Bill Woollcott



Thank you for a wonderful time fishing on Friday and Saturday November 10th & 11th. We had 3 boats each day, 4 people per boat. On day 1 we landed 39 sturgeon between us, and on day 2 we landed 12. Very few fish didn't already have microchips in them. I think that speaks volumes of the importance of a catch and release program to sustain your business. No salmon caught but we didn't spend too much time trying. The weather was brutal but that didn't seem to dampen the guy's spirits.

Thank you again for great service, guides and boats. We all would highly recommend this adventure to others.

Hello Tony;

I would link to thank-you for a great day on the river Aug 28 2006. Everything from the from the weather to the fishing was perfect. I have included the picture of the sturgeon I caught. My brother is looking for a trip for a work project he has to put together I have sent him all the details of our trip and links to the site.

Thanks

Hi Tony,
Thanks once again for a great week. Great country, great company and great
fishing combined to make it a week to remember.

Best Regards
Reg


Dear Tony,
Thanks for a wonderful week, I certainly enjoyed the company of you and Eric, and the other fishermen in our group. We,re already sending e-mails
and photos to each other.

Take care,
Nick




Hello Tony,

Just a quick line to say we had a great week, regardless of the weather. The whole trip went extremely well from pick up, hotel, fishing to drop off. Sometimes its the small things that make or break a trip, this trip, not a single thing could be faulted.You asked me to let you know what our week consisted of in terms of fish.

42 fish (sturgeon)
10 of six feet or longer which included an eight footer and a seven plus
12 more of five feet or longer
10 more of four and a half feet
the remainder between three and four feet.

Your guess to the overall weight would be better than mine, but its a lot!!

Thanks to you, Chad, Jordi and Merr for guiding us to quite incredible fishing. I am not sure if our trip was good, average or bad for your trips, but either way we thoroughly enjoyed it. When you next see Gerd at the hotel, please pass on our thanks to him for his entertainment, he's a diamond. I have included pictures of three of the bigger fish we caught.

Again thanks to you all for a great week.
Graham & Daniel Turner


Hi Bob & Tony,

Kevin & Susan Edwards.


Merr,

Tony and Fred,
Thought you might like a photo of the winning fish at the Rick Hansen Sturgeon Classic. In the photo is (L to R) Terry Pollock, Steve Feddersen, Dave Desmarais (I was lucky to be the guy who caught it) and Eve (Hope I spelled his name correctly)

The day was fantastic and Eve did a great job finding and helping me to bring in the fish. All of us caught large ones and that is always fun.

Great day and thanks again.
Regards,
DD


We had a great time last month with Yves on the Fraser River sturgeon fishing and I promised at the time to get a .jpeg to you of the fish we caught just as we were enroute back to the Harrison resort. Sorry it’s taken so long!

Yves said he isn’t much into computers, but that he wouldn’t mind seeing a copy of this one. If he gets out of the boat long enough maybe you can share it with him.

Thanks again for a memorable trip. I’m telling everyone down here to look up your services when they head up that way.

Hi Tony, here are the pictures that I promised from our sturgeon trip of July 2, 2005. We had a fantastic experience and really appreciated your companies' professional services. Yves was a great guide and we enjoyed his knowledge of sturgeon and the rivers as well as his friendly personality. We will definitely be requesting him on our next trip.

While we were landing my fish, your boat is captured in the background in several of the pictures. The fish on the line at the time was only about 7" smaller than the one I caught.

Thanks again for a great time,
Kevin and Bonnie Gilbert

I wanted to thank Merr for the awesome time sturgeon fishing, it was my first time fishing with my wife Milva, and we had a blast. Here are some pictures from our trip, and I definitely want to go again soon!

Tony – Just wanted to thank you for the great outing on Friday. Josh and I had an awesome time. Thanks again and we’ll be back! GO CANUCKS!!

Thanks,
Ken & Josh



Dear Tony,
Lieber Tony,

best regards from Germany – also to Merr and Chad !
beste Grüße aus Deutschland – auch an Merr und Chad !

Thank you very much for this fantastic fishing trip ! The fishing for sturgeon is incredible – I´d never expected these numbers of fish, these fantastic fights - and this size !!

Vielen, vielen Dank für diese fantastische Angelreise ! Das Fischen auf Stör ist unglaublich – ich hatte nie so viele Fische, solch fantastische Kämpfe – und auch nicht diese Größe -erwartet !!

Harrisonbay Guided Services is in a class of his own. I can´t imagine a better service (thank you again for he transfers from/to Vancouver Airport).

Harrisonbay Guided Services ist eine Klasse für sich. Ich kann mir keinen besseren Service vorstellen (noch mal Danke Schön für den Transfer von Vancouver und zurück zum Flughafen).

Tony, this is Darcy Miles e-mailing you. The wife and myself were out on one of your boats catching sturgeon this past weekend, which absolutely awesome by the way, your guide was great, we had a great time with Jordy.. Once again, that was an excellent time we both had, and we discussed it between the two of us and we will definitely be coming back to do it again soon. Hopefully with Jordy as he gave us a good time and is very helpful. Thanks a million again.

Darcy and Pauline


Hello Tony,

Hope things are good with you and your family. Cant thank you enough for a great day fishing. Things started out a little slow for me but then BAM fish on. Don and I were talking about making this an annual event. Thanks again Tony for a great day.

DUANE


Hi Tony, I wanted to drop you a note expressing my thanks for my most recent trip with you. 2 days of great fishing, with one of them being a day that I'll never forget. Where else can you go and catch 450-500lbs of sturgeon in the morning, cuthroat in the afternoon and a run of Coho at the end of the day that people only dream of. Those sturgeon are incredible fighters!
I've done several years of trips with you as well I have done a fair bit of fishing throughout North and Central America and you truly do run aworld class operation! From the guides, the boats, tackle, quality of fishing and great accomodations every trip has been a memorable event!. It is going to be tough to beat this past weeks performance but I look forward to giving it a go next year! I can't think of another fishery that offers anglers the challenges and opportunities that present themselves at Harrison.

Jordy showed me the picture of that big Coho................just awesome.
Can you forward me some pictures when you get a chance in your busy schedule.

Thanks again Tony, keep up the great work! I truly look forward to seeing you again next year when the springs are running in September. I have already gloated about my day out there to several of my business managers and we are very keen on seeing what you could offer us for a corporate strugeon tournament for some of our key customers in November. I can't think of a better, more memorable experience to share with them.

Best Regards,
Tim Clapson

Tony,
A quick note to say thanks again for another great November sport fishing week. Final stats were 55 sturgeon with 15 over 100lb including my longest to date of 98in, probably weighing around 270lb. We will just have to do the whole thing again next year!

Regards,
David.


Merr,
Thx for a great day on the River..........Our picture turned out awesome!!!

Hi Erik!

Greetings from Germany! As promised here are our great sturgeon photos. We had a wonderful fishing tour with you on our last day in Kanada! Thank you very much.

Hey Chad

Just wanted to let you know us boys, the hockey competition boyz had a wonderful fishing experience and will be back next year for sure. You gave all of us a fishing experience memory that will last a lifetime or until next year!!! Tyson the cocky bugger did brag the whole way back to Calgary but worst of all it had to be 2 min before the game was over!!! Thanks so much and we will definitely be bringing a bigger group of competitors next year.

Keep in touch and thanks,
Sincerely, Kyle Movold


Thanks for all your help with our holiday trip bookings for August. The fishing experienced was superb. My wife and I will certainly return in the future to experience more of this wonderful sport.

Jordi Williams, our guide for the two days was excellent, hard working, great company and very professional, we could not have asked for a better guiding service.It was a fantastic trip, in a beautiful country.

Thank you
Paul and Maggie Sims
