Spent the day searching for Cutthroat trout on the Fraser River.

A peacefull day shared with Bald Eagles, Mink, and this guy! Mr. Racoon.

There are plenty of Salmon Fry starting to migrate out to the ocean, and the ducks, gulls, and fish are starting to hunt for them, so I was in good company.

The obvious fly to start with had to be a minnow pattern, so on went the Muddler minnow.

And Voila!! A beautiful 14" cutthroat.

The Whitefish were even keying in on the salmon fry.

Next up, my epoxy alvin.

With several smaller cutthroat in the 8" to 12" range gobbling them up.

Figured I had better step up the size of fly and see if there were any bigger fish around?

There seemed to be!

The water is so low and clear on the Fraser right now, I tried a few under water shots as well.

Still hadn't found the "big" one yet, so I pulled out the "big" fish fly and...

Got this guy! Largest fish of the day, a nice male around 16" long.

Another long slender silver bullet on a tied down minnow pattern.

A great day all said and done! Now is the time for hunting Cutthroat trout as they begin to key in on the Salmon fry migration, before long there will be lots of food around and they can become more picky. It was interesting though, at the end of the day I made one last stop and saw several fish sipping midges and the few Mayflies that were hatching. I tried a dry for the remainder of the run, but they were too interested in the real thing to bother with what I had to offer, so left them to eat in peace!

I grabbed a copy of "Great White Fish: A Sturgeon Story" at a Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society Event on Sunday night, (it was for my nephews Pre-School class). Rick Hansen (Man in Motion & FRSCS Chair) happened to be at the meeting so I asked him to sign the book. I didn't know the name of the pre-school teacher, so I asked him to just sign it in some generic manner. Rick chose to write, "anything is possible". I contemplated this for a brief second, said my Thanks and went on my way.

Fast Forward to Monday morning- Rick Hansen, Fred Helmer, Tony Nootebos, Jim Rissling, Carl English, and Troy Nelson.

8:15am, Misson Boat Launch

8:16 am, Fish on...

8:29am, Fish on...

8:40am, Fish on...

8:51am Fish on...

8:59 am fish on...

Now this trend continued all day, multiple fish, and 6 very, very tired Anglers. One very well used sturgeon sling, loads of newly tagged sturgeon- Big & Small- 7 foot 4 to 12 inches.

Back to what Rick was saying "Anything is possible", it was record setting day, not only in the sense that the Gents all caught more fish than they had ever caught in one day EVER Recapture rate- 25%!!!!

Now THAT's the look of a satisfied angler!

Try booking a walk & wade steelhead trip. There is no time like the present! The little sprinkling of rain does WONDERS for the conditions... Should be another fantastic week on the Vedder.

The Fraser has been shaping up with the warmer weather, it's fun to head out right now with our Spring Vetran guides. They've been guiding the spring months for years and love that no one is out on the Fraser! In March things really heat up and April is definitely one of the top times. Spring is in the air... and so is our love of Sturgeon Fishing!!!!

Chad was 6 days out for Steelhead, trying to get back into the fishery.

6 days with nothing excpet One fish on.

He retired from Steelheading 2 weeks ago. Was dragged back out, and sure enough... Bam! And doesn't he look Happy!

If at first you don't succeed try, try, try, again.

Or try it with a GUIDE! Then at least you have someone to blame for your failures!!!

We are booking Steelhead Trips, and they will teach you what you SHOULD know when fishig the Vedder River.

On Valentine's Day we took several couples down the Harrison River and amazed them by the natural serene beauty of this river!

They got to see the majestic eagles, seals, herons, and a variety of other wildlife.

This tour takes you you down the beautiful Harrison River to where it meets up with Harrison Bay and from there on to the mighty Fraser River.

Fishing Guides are repeatedly asked the question- "What do you do in the "Off Season?"

The answer is usually "nothing". Which is really a boring answer, and probably makes the Question poser feel a bit silly. Besides it's not true at all.

Over the past few years I have noticed a trend, it's scary, and sickening...

They GO FISHING. And it's not for "research" or to better themselves in their jobs for the next Season. It's because they LIKE IT, even when they aren't catching a darn thing, they do exactly the same thing, get up early, get their waders on, meet at the tackle shop, or boat launch, and get out on the water.

Maybe the rest of us are all in the wrong profession. For example the Electrician never goes home and installs new lights, or wires the bathroom that's been sitting unfinished for 6 years. I Never go home and yabber away on the phone or enter data into fancy spreadsheets on the computer, in fact the computer is the last thing I want to sit in front of.

The fishing guide knows there is an opportunity to catch fish year round, and they love it, so they go out fishing everyday! Lucky for them the fishing has been really good this winter. Some proof of this and to make this rant more interesting is above!

Enjoy wiring fixtures, plumbing toilets, analyzing financial data, or whatever else might ail you- Everyone in this company is enjoying a great day of fishing!

Call Us if you want to go out- the guides would probably love to get paid for what they are doing anyways!

Today was a great day! 16 sturgeon in 6 hours and these pictures show some of the biggest.

Tight lines!
