FRASER RIVER

The Fraser is in amazing shape for this time of the year. The water levels are much lower than average and the water almost now has a green tinge to it. With the recent warm blast of weather this might jump up levels in the next week.

Sturgeon fishing has been very good with average day trips yielding 6 to 10 fish and usually a number of fish between 3 and 5 feet, some 5 to 7 feet and a few over 8 feet. Fishing has been good from Vancouver to Yale and we expect it to get even better in the months to come. Best baits have been Roe, Eulachon and Pike Minnows.

Lots of Chinook (King Salmon) in the river right now and Bar Fishing method is producing well for adult and jack Chinook. Book now for your summer and fall fishing dates. Check out this new released Jimmy Houston Outdoors fishing in B.C. with our team youtube….

Sockeye is open for retention in the Fraser River on Monday August 9th – 1 hour before sunrise and until further notice by Fisheries and Oceans Canada – limit is 2 per day per angler.

VEDDER/CHILLIWACK RIVER

This river is in very good shape and the Chinook (Kings) are starting to show up. Look for deeper pools to hold most fish. Lickman, Slesse and Tamahi are key areas to target. These fish are powerful and will give anglers an amazing battle.

It won’t be long before we see Sockeye in this river migrating to Chilliwack Lake, please release these fish gently. Coho (Silvers) and Chums are only a few months away.

Our company offers walk and wade instructional trips. This is a great way to learn new techniques, proper fish handling and identification of all species. This is a big part of being a responsible angler in B.C. waters.

HARRISON RIVER

The Harrison River is a scenic short river with returns of millions of Salmon annually and it’s time to shine is in the Fall months of the year. On this river, fisherman share the shore side with Bears and thousands of Eagles all Fall long! Great fly fishing in clear water that most would believe is not possible.

Average catches can include all 5 species of Pacific Salmon on odd years (2009, 2011 & 2013) and 4 species of Pacific Salmon on even years. All fish can be caught on the fly, both single and double handed Spey are easily taught to those wishing to catch Salmon on the fly. Let our team of professional guides show you how majestic this area can be.

PITT RIVER ADVENTURE

Sea run Dolly’s, Sockeye coming soon and Chinook in the next days to come. Our team is very committed to this catch and release fishery and getting all these fish back into the water as fast as possible after a quick fight on the single and double hand fly rods.

On May 24TH / 2010 JIMMY HOUSTON OUTDOORS on VERSUS (OLN) fished Sturgeon with Great River Fishing Adventures on the FRASER RIVER, British Columbia. This is the 1st time Jimmy has ever been Sturgeon fishing and what a thrill he got with the 2 days of unbelievable action. Jimmy Houston, Americas Favorite Fisherman, will be talking about this fishing adventure for many years to come and will hopefully be back to Sturgeon fish again in the World Sturgeon Classic Big Game Tournament in the coming years. Check it out on VERSUS (OLN)

A legendary angler, Jimmy was inducted in to the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2002. He was inducted into the IGFA Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame and the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame in 2008. Jimmy was named King of Sports for Fishing in 1989

“The fish we’d caught beforehand jumped some, but that last one Sherri caught, it smoked out about 100 yards of line, jumped, went down and smoked out another 200 yards just like that, and then jumped again,” he says. “I mean, that thing got all the way out of the water. It was amazing. I mean, it was really something to see that fish smoke off 300 yards of line and come out of the water like it did.”

As you can see we caught some very large Sturgeon and Great River Fishing Adventures is the guiding company that can really put you in to some incredible days of fishing!
