Fraser River

The Fraser Basin makes up 25% of the province of British Columbia and is home to 60% of the people living in BC. Not only is the Fraser River one of only three rivers in BC that white sturgeon spawn, but is it one of the largest salmon spawning rivers in the world. There can be up to 20 million salmon on any given day in the estuary and more than 60 other fish species use the Fraser River also, such as the wicked White Sturgeon.

The town of Chilliwack (100km from Vancouver) is a vibrant community where you can live out the ultimate angler dream – to catch a monster. And in this part of the world, this monster is known as the Sturgeon fish. White sturgeon are prehistoric living fossils, smooth skinned, scaleless and the largest freshwater fish in North America. These massive fish explode from the water and provide the epic battle for many an angler. White Sturgeon can exceed 6 metres in length and weigh more than 680kg. Such length and size is a test of skills and endurance when trying to land a monster big fish – both bigger and and stronger than you!
