STURGEON FISHING FOR 2024 IS WELL UNDER WAY AND WILL GO UNTIL MID NOVEMBER AT LEAST, JULY IS ALWAYS A GREAT MONTH FOR BIG FISH AND AUGUST LOOKS PROMISING!
Our Sturgeon fishing charters are OPEN 7 days a week. Rely on our 24 years of experience.
HOW’S THE STURGEON FISHING?
The Fraser river has returned to a good state after the almost week long freak show due to the flooding cause by the landslide 300 km upstream. This has brought Sturgeon fishing back to normal which means good!
If you want to have some fun Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River book now for peak dates. It will be very good from mid March until mid to late November. The Contact form is below.
Q/A: Do Sturgeon care if it’s raining? NO. They love it and they are already wet !
Bookings for the current season are picking up so plan ahead and be open to book a weekday. Want to know some key times for the big ones? Read: Sturgeon Fishing Best Times on the Fraser River.
We got loads of knowledge and top baits to help our clients hook up with their quarry.
FRASER RIVER WATER FLOWS:
The Fraser River is in very good shape. Good river flow is allowing us to fish just about anywhere.

Squamish River:
The Squamish River will have Coho and Chum Salmon starting in early October thru until November 15 – 20. Then it’s March 15 to late April for the resident Bull Trout, plus the odd Steelhead. This is catch and release. This is a gorgeous place that offers a high quality outdoors experience. It’s walk n wade here, and we supply the best equipment available. Not suitable for ages under 16 as swift water flows put them at risk. Children are best to be on our boats.
Upper Pitt River:
The Upper Pitt will be a great option once we hit later May and continues through until early/mid July. We do not fish here outside of these times. This river is accessed only by jet boat or helicopter and thus offers a very quiet setting with awesome scenery and flyfishing for sea run Dolly Varden that go over 10 lbs.
Lake Fly Fishing for Rainbow’s:
May & June offer fantastic results on several lakes we guide on in BC’s interior region. We have spent a lot of time on a few lakes near Merritt with amazing results for Rainbow’s in the 18 – 24 inch range. It’s a 3 hr drive from Vancouver but if you love still water it’s totally worth it on these wilderness lakes. Scenery is extremely nice. We can also provide multi day trips here with lodging in some nice cabins.
Vedder-Chilliwack River:
Steelhead season starts early February. The best fly fishing happens here in March – April. Gear fishers dominate this river mostly but we do get the odd one on the fly.

Fly Fishing Report
A very good option for May – June. We have spent about 2 weeks on these lakes this May and were blown away by some very impressive fly fishing for Rainbow Trout in the 18 to 24 inch range. A load of fun on 4 & 5 weight fly rods! Chironomids in sizes 10 – 16 are the mainstay. Use chromies in various colours. But when they aren’t biting chromies try dull dark colours.
For all the best chironomid fly patterns visit FLYGUYS.NET
We do provide single day trips or multi day fly fishing packages to some very productive lakes just 3 hrs from Vancouver. If you go without a guide be well stocked with midges in all colours in sizes 8 to 16. Other flies to keep in your box include Damsels, Dragons, May flies, micro leeches, bead head wooly buggers in black, green, brown and maroon.
» We offer fly fishing lessons for Rainbow trout too. Our experience will give you the edge!
