Fishing Report for Sept 3

September 4, 2011 STS Guiding Service

We are now back on track with water levels dropping quickly. Each high tide is bringing in more and more Pink Salmon along with sockeye and Chinook salmon. Sockeye remains open for retention and are indications are that it will stay that way for some time.

Fishing is good both in the river and ocean, see below for some of the landed fish the past few days.

That is a beauty Chinook

The pinks are bigger than average this year.

Here is one over 7ft.

We still have a few boats for Tuesday & Wednesday next week.

August 27th Fishing Report Update

August 28, 2011 STS Guiding Service

The Fraser River has risen over 1 meter in the last 36 hours, lots of small sticks in the water. This water is coming from the Kenney Dam up north on the Nachako River and won’t last more than a few days. The water in Prince George is already dropping. Our canyon trip today was a bit more difficult with all the sticks but we did manage to make it to Hells Gate on the first trip , unfortunately then second trip only made it half way.

Fishing today was a bit slower for Sturgeon although all of our boats still caught fish. The Pinks are moving into the Vedder now so anglers who like to fish the lower canal will starting picking up good numbers of fish on High tide. Boat anglers are starting to target Pinks on both Fraser & Harrison Confluences as well as the mouth of the North Arm and South Arm T 10 marker.

Teresa and I went out last night on the salt for a couple hours, we landed 3 fish and watched a beautiful sunset. Quite a few boats were hooking up but you did have to troll around looking for schools of fish.I didn’t hang around all the boats so not sure how many Chinook were caught.

Water conditions on the Fraser will improve in the next 2 or 3 days, if you want some fresh salmon, Vancouver Salt would be a good bet. Pinks and the odd Chinook will be available on the Fraser although sockeye is still open and anglers are catching a few.

Have a great next few days and hopefully we will see you on the water.

Update Report for August 24

August 24, 2011 STS Guiding Service

WOW, fishing has been red hot this week for sturgeon on the Fraser. Yesterday we landed 7 fish which only 1 was under 6ft all the rest were between 6 to 7.5 feet in length. Tom had a double header 7footers with both fish jumping clear out of the water at the same time, amazing to say the least.

We pulled up beside Tom and within seconds he hooked this fish.

This fish measured 7 ft 8 inches and put up a great battle.

This was one of our bigger fish from yesterday, these guiys are having a great time.

Salmon fishing has been fair to good as well, we are getting some Chinook, Sockeye and now the Pinks are moving in, Should be some great fishing over the next few months.

We still have lots of good dates for October which is primetime.,
