Here is a beauty landed yesterday by STS guide Thomas and guests, amazing fishing out on the Fraser right now. Sturgeon fishing will stay strong right through until late November.

Here is a beauty sturgeon landed up in the canyon, lots of big fish around right now both in middle and lower Fraser. Our trips depart daily from Mission, Chilliwack, Hope and Harrison.

Pictures says it all, Fraser River beauty morning sunrise,

If you can get away, nows the time to fish the Fraser and other local rivers, not just sturgeon but some great salmon fishing as well. Hope to see you soon.

Fly fishing and gear fishing for Chinook, Coho and Chum salmon is really picking up, Harrison and Fraser are both fishing well. Lots of Chum and Coho moving into the Harrison River the past few days, should be a great week.

Happy Thanksgiving

This past week we experienced summer like temperatures with some good to excellent fishing for both salmon and sturgeon. Some of our guides have been targeting Coho with both fly and light tackle spin, while others are still finding some Pink Salmon. A couple Bar fishing days produces some nice Chum and Coho so things are really starting to pick up for both numbers and variety of salmon species to target.

The most productive methods for targeting Chinook is to Bar fish the main stem Fraser between Confluence of the Vedder and Harrison River, this section of the Fraser is know as the gravel reach and produces some of the best fishing the Fraser has to offer. If you’re after Coho, fly fishing or light tackle spin fishing with spoons is best. We like using GibbsDelta Crocs or Iron heads for best results. If you prefer to bar fish or plunk, fishing Gibbs/Delta Tee spoons is a great way to target these fish.

If you’re after action and don’t care if you take fish home, Chum salmon are a great way to spend your day and gets those arms hurting from steady action. Float fishing Jigs or casting spoons will do the job. The trick is to keep your jig close to the bottom and watch for that float to stop or hesitate, set the hook and your on.

Sturgeon fishing has been good to excellent, each day is a bit different which is a bit unusual for this fishery, seems like the bite is on one day and next day you struggle to get a few fish. Could be that these larger sturgeon are getting a bit full of salmon but like past years, once they digest they will be back on the feed within a short time.

We are out on the water daily with some great success, our guides are working hard to provide the very best Fraser River experience possible. If your looking for a guided trip out on the Fraser, October/November offers sopme of the best fishing of the season. If your tired of looking at all those amazing fish our guides have been catching, come out and enjoy the day with us.

Hope you have a great weekend

Now that the Fraser is open to salmon fishing there are plenty of opportunities for fishing in the Fraser Valley. The albion test fishery is showing good numbers of Chinook migrating up the Fraser, Chum salmon are now starting to trickle in and a few Coho starting to show at the Vedder confluence. Overall it is really starting to take shape and sturgeon fishing has been good to excellent.

Fraser River Sturgeon fishing has been good to excellent this past week, lots of fish in the lower river with 6 to 12 fish per trip on average with a few larger fish being caught as well. Some of these giants are starting to get full so using smaller baits and trying baits other than salmon parts is a good choice. We’ve done well on Lamprey and Pike Minnow this past week as well as salmon parts.

Salmon fishing is now open on the Fraser River, as mentioned above, the test fishery is showing some strong numbers so it’s a great time to get out and try some bar fishing for Chinook and chum or fly and spin fish for Coho or Pink Salmon. Be sure to check your regulations for species and methods to use for sportfishing. Once again the government is asking anglers to selectively fish using methods such as bar fishing, spin fishing or fly fishing.

Over the next 60 days is some of the best fishing the Fraser has to offer for both salmon and sturgeon, if your looking for that trip of a lifetime, we still have space and would love to have you out. Give us a call 604-671-3474 or e-mail us at sts

Have a great weekend,
