Wicks / The waters
Fraser River & tributaries.
From the Rockies to the Pacific, and the reason this whole operation exists.
Fly fishing · Timed to the runs
Thirteen hundred kilometres.
The Fraser is the spine of the fishery. Chinook, coho and sockeye, plus steelhead, cutthroat and sturgeon — and a pink salmon run every odd year.
Trips here are booked around the runs rather than the calendar, because the runs are what decide whether a week is worth being on the water. Message Dayton for what's actually moving now; that's the only schedule that matters.
