The water
Fly fishing and sturgeon charters across the Fraser Valley and the Coast Mountains — half day, full day, or a multi-day guided holiday. Corporate groups, stags and stagettes welcome.
Coast Mountains on both sides, gravel bars, and a string of classic runs with almost nobody on them. Resident cutthroat, char and rainbows, winter steelhead from January to April, and from early summer the sea-run bull trout — the "Pitt Bulls" — pushing in to feed on salmon fry.
A winter wilderness run for sea-run cutthroat, bull trout, Dolly Varden and steelhead, in a river with next to no pressure on it. We go up from Harrison by jet boat. Harrison Lake makes its own weather and some days have to move — the trip is worth waiting for.
Thirteen hundred kilometres from the Rockies to the Pacific, and the reason this whole operation exists. Chinook, coho and sockeye, plus steelhead, cutthroat and sturgeon — and a pink salmon run every odd year. Trips are booked around the runs, not the calendar.
The easiest trip to say yes to, and the one most people book first. Any age, any skill level — friends, families, corporate groups. Adult fish in this system reach twelve feet. Juvenile trips include the volunteer tagging program, so the day counts for something beyond the photo.
