Types
of Fishing White
Sturgeon:
As
the largest fresh water fish of North America the mighty Sturgeon is
unparallel in its’ fighting ability when hooked. It can grow to over
1000 pounds and 10 ft long (454kg and 304cm), although the average sports caught is 3 to 7
ft (90 to 214cm) long. The Sturgeon is easily identified by its’ long pointed snout
and bony plates running the complete length of its’ sides.
It also has a ridge of curved spines running down its’ back and
a forked tail. The “White” in the name stems from the colour of
its’ meat not from the colour of the fish itself as this is grey. This
is a catch and release fishery which ensures an excellent sports fishing
success rate. The best times for success are between February and
November.

Salmon:
As
detailed in the Great River Page, the
Fraser River is the worlds’ greatest
salmon resource with tens of millions
of Pacific Salmon returning to the system
every year.
All five species utilize the
river, from the mighty Chinook to the
abundant and easy to catch Pink salmon.
The fiercely fighting Sockeye is fast
becoming an angling favorite, although
the silver bright Coho is still widely
sought after. The late running Chum
salmon is large and strong and also
easily caught, a must for any
angler.

sea run Rainbow Trout, can grow over 30 lbs. An incredible fighting fish
this is a much sought after prize. This secretive and beautiful fish has
enormous fighting capability and can provide an unparalleled acrobatic performance.

Rainbow
and Cutthroat
Trout/Dolly Varden:
These species are through out the Fraser Watershed and
all provide a
unique fishing opportunity. Cutthroats are named because of their red
slash marks under
the jaw. These beautiful sea run fish can be very
aggressive
at times or elusive, either way a wonderful fishing experience. The
Dolly can be fished in the local lakes or the more remote portions of
our local rivers. The Rainbow Trout is best fished in the mountain lakes
where elevation improves the fishing during the hotter months and where
the fish can grow quite large.
