Current Report
Fraser Valley report for the
week of Sept 27, 2005
Watch for our new weekly
column Find the Fish Every
Thursday in the Province News
Paper, Sports section.
Note: We still have October
29/30 available for one boat,
and the second week of
November which is some of the
best fishing for Chum, Coho
and Sturgeon. We have just
hired an associate guide to
help us out for the weeks of
October 6 to 26 so we now
have 1 boat available to
book.
Jet Boating Clinic
Fraser River from Mission to
Yale
I have been asked by several
new jet boat owners to put
together a clinic on Jet
Boating the Fraser River. The
clinic would cover,
navigation, reading water,
shallow water jet boating and
Fraser canyon rapids along
with some safety tips.
At this point I am interested
in numbers of people who
would be interested in this
type of seminar. If you are,
please e-mail me.
Weekly update
Fraser River / Fraser Valley
Report
Salmon
The Fraser River has fished
well this week. Lots of Pink
salmon continue to migrate up
the Fraser with good fishing
from the mouth all the way to
Hope. Good numbers of Chinook
Salmon are being caught be
anglers bar fishing in the
Chilliwack area as well as a
few Chum Salmon starting to
show up. We landed 2 bright
Chum yesterday fishing with
spoons near the Harrison
River.
Sturgeon
Sturgeon fishing continues to
be spectacular. Lots of fish
in the 4 to 7 foot range with
some very large fish over 7
feet. Last week an associate
landed his largest fish ever
measuring 111 to the fork,
which is well over 13 feet
total length. This fish took
5 ½ hours to land with 5
tired anglers. This fish was
released unharmed as all
sturgeon must be released.
If youre planning on
visiting the Vancouver area
this fall come join us for
some great fun and fishing
for trophy salmon and
sturgeon. We are also
offering remote wilderness
river trips for trout and
Quad rentals in the Harrison
Hot Springs area.
Interior Lakes
Interior lakes have been
producing good results for
both fly and trollers.
Sheridan Lake picked up a bit
as did Bridge, Fawn and
Irish. These lakes are
located along the Highway 24
fishing route between Little
Fort and 100 mile house. The
Merritt and Kamloops area are
both fishing well for small
to medium trout.
Looking to tie some trout
patterns, try these fly
patterns on our website at

Vedder River/Chehalis
Pray for rain as the Vedder
and Chehalis are in desperate
need of water. Some fish
trickling in but we need some
substantial rain for these
rivers to begin fishing well.
A few Coho getting caught a
first light, Pinks and the
odd Chum and Chinook. Once we
get some rain, this river
will really turn on.
Harrison River
The Harrison River is fishing
well for Pink Salmon, lots of
fish have now moved up the
river so you can fish from
the confluence all the way up
to the graveyard and find
fish. Yesterday we saw quite
a few Chum moving into the
river and had a Coho chase my
spoon right to the boat. A
few Harrison Chinook starting
to show up so its really
starting to pick up on this
river.
Remember to conserve your
catch
Tight Lines and we will see
you on the water
