Monster Sturgeon 2 days in a row.

I guess it is my turn this week to land a couple big fish, yesterday an 8ft 1 with 45 in girth and today an 8ft 11 with a 47.5 inch girth. Both fish were in mint condition , scanned and tagged with a Pitt Tag. Great to see lots of big fish this year with no tags, I guess is shows there are still lots of virgin sturgeon lurking the might Fraser River.

Neils Thomsen visiting from Norway landed this 8ft 1 inch Canyon Fish yesterday while fishing with friends Michael, Peter and Brynjar.

The Sturgeon fishing has slowed the past few days but as you can see there are still some great fish out there to be caught. These fish have been feeding on Pink Salmon for over a month and are getting full. The good news is that they will turn back on as we get closer to November and we should experience some great fishing between now and mid November.

This 8ft 11inch sturgeon measured with a 47.5 inch girth, what a great fish for the boys from Spruce Groves Western Trucking

Coho Fishing was also amazing today with over 26 fish landed between two groups, lots of Coho being reported both on the Vedder Canal, Fraser and Harrison River area as well as Dewdney Slough area near confluence with Fraser. Most popular methods have been fishing with Gibbs/Delta spoons and casting colorado blades with split shot. I find that Gibbs Crocs and Ultra Lures work best in Harrison and Colorado blades work best in Vedder or Dewdney slough.

Here is a beauty Coho caught by Brynjar guided by Tom Pearce.

9 ft Sturgeon landed, congrats Doug

Congrats to Guest Dennis Wolski of Devan Alberta and STS Guide Doug Elias who just landed a 9ft sturgeon near Mission. It’s hard to believe how many big fish are being caught this year. Great job guys, looks like Doug is the man to beat.

It’s quite amazing how many big fish are out theres this season, might be the best season ever for fish over 7ft. These fish are fat and very healthy and are kicking but on the battles. This great fishing should continue through until mid to late November.

Coho Fishing is picking up both on the ocean and in the river, we are catching Coho daily in both areas. In the river we are using Colorado blades and Gibbs Spoons, in the ocean we are trolling with Anchovie, hoochies and spoons. Lots of Coho staging at the mouth of the Fraser so the next two weeks should be excellent fishing. I hear the numbers are big so get ready for some great Coho fishing.

Over the next 3 to 5 weeks we should see some of the best fishing of the season, the Chum are starting to pour in, lots of Coho and the sturgeon fishing has been amazing. Day after day we are landing large fish both in Mission and Canyon.

2014 STS will be celebrating our 20th year in business, we are super stoked for what lies ahead and really appreciate all of our guests who continue to support what we do. As you know we have one of the hardest working team of guides on the river and next season will be no exception. I know if is still early but our West Coast Charters are beginning to fill up. If you are looking for some great Salmon and Halibut fishing for next season, we are now booking for July 2014.

We still have some great dates for October and November, single day trips or over night packages. Come join us while the fishing is till great.

Have a great week.
