FRASER RIVER

Bar fishing for King (Chinook) is very good right now as the river continues to drop steadily. King Salmon numbers in the river are way up with the highest counts of the season so far. All the bars are now fishable and most are using Bar Fishing Style. Use the old classic Silver/Green and Silver/Red Number 2 or 0 Spin & Glows. The size restriction on King Salmon have been lifted so you can now keep 1 fish over 50 cm and 3 under. Use some salmon roe on the hooks as well for some of the plentiful red jacks migrating in close to shore.

There are plenty of sockeye in the river but are not open for retention so please use proper catch and release methods to ensure no harm to the fish.

The drop in the river height has not affected the Sturgeon fishing which has been good all over the river; some of the best have been the Ridgedale, Mosey Rocks, Bed Springs, Tunnels and Herling. The river is slowing down lots these days and you can pick some nice fish up in both faster and softer water alike. Best baits are fresh salmon roe, salmon fins, eels, hearts and Eulachon.

Within the next couple of weeks some of the best fishing of the year will arrive, not that the fishing so far this summer has not been good. We use big, comfortable and safe jet boats with the best in fishing gear and premium baits. As leaders in Sturgeon conservation it is and has been our dedication to handle all fish with the best handling practices set out by our government. We will always put the fish first when scanning, measuring and tagging. This unique experience to learn about these fish hands on is fast becoming the reason why it is one of the most sought after “Big Game Thrills”.

PITT RIVER ADVENTURE

"One of the Fraser Valley's secrets"

This little gem of a local river can only be accessed by jetboat. The river is on right now! The summer months offers incredible Sea Run Dolly Varden and Bull Trout up to 14 pounds. These fish are very aggressive on the big swung articulated fly. We feel the bigger the better!

This river already has sockeye in it and will soon fill up with Coho and Chum Salmon all ready and eager to take a fly. This is another one of the Coastal B.C. waters best kept secrets that we know every angler should experience. Our team of Guides know these waters like no others do. Book early as these days go fast!

CHILLIWACK LAKE

This is a fantastic local fishery that is so under utilized. This Lake is glacier and hidden away just 40 minutes from Chilliwack! Large Bull Trout and Dolly Varden cruise the depths and can grow over 20 pounds. Many Rainbow and Cutthroat up to 5 pounds and masses of Kokanee the land locked Sockeye Salmon.

Whether fly fishing, trolling with quick fish or bottom fishing roe, this Lake offers excellent angling. If you are looking to relax in one of the most scenic places in the Fraser Valley, this trip is for you. We encourage catch and release on this precious Lake.

COLUMBIA RIVER

Uncrowded Paradise awaits you!

The Columbia River is fishing incredible well on the dry, actually insane to tell you the truth. From now through September if you’re looking to see 50 to 75 big wild Rainbows porpoise in back eddy’s while you sight cast to them, this is the river for you. An experience you will not soon forget. Our professional caster and guide Bruce Kruk is amazing when it comes to personal service and instructional. If you dream of hooking up on some of the biggest wild Rainbows in North America, call to book your adventure today.

LILLOOET RIVER

Another river just a few weeks away from the big fall salmon runs. Coho and Chum abound in the next few months. However Rainbow and Dolly fishing is still excellent.

We will be running another camp in April 2009 to a very limited 6 anglers per group over a 1 month period. We target the river during this time for the remarkable pristine valley fly fishing for Wild Rainbows, Cutthroat and Char species and even some chances at Chinook (King) Salmon which lived up to there name for brute strength and unbelievable fighting ability.

This is a very incredible experience that every outdoorsman should not miss out on! Call or email today to book your adventure!

HARRISON RIVER

Salmon fishing is just a couple of weeks away on this incredible river. Already the river is full of sockeye and shortly the rest of the Pacific Salmon species will arrive (less the Pink Salmon this year as they only come on the odd years, 09,11). They all enter and spawn in this river. Fishing opportunities will explode and the experience is second to none.

However it is presently prime time Cutthroat fishing in another glacier fed beautiful river. Sparse Muddlers and Wolly Buggers are the favorites for these nomadic fry chasing fish. Intermediate clear lines are a must for tracking these fish. There is something special about hunting these fish that most keen fly anglers really enjoy.
Come on out and enjoy our 360 degree office view!

Stillwater Adventures are on right now!

Due to warm days and cool evening the fishing has been great. Lots of hatches produce excellent rainbow fishing in the following lakes; Hefly, Dragon, Roche and Tunkwa.

VEDDER/CHILLIWACK RIVER

The summer run of Big Red Springs have been in the river for some time now and fishing has been steady. Sockeye have also flooded the river but these fish can not be retained. The first Coho which are so highly sought after are just 2 weeks away roughly.

Conditions are your typical summer low and clear. Don’t forget about the great cutthroat fishing towards the bottom of the Vedder Channel. Morning or evening dry fly presentations bring them out from behind those logs with familiar regularity.
