Current Report
Fraser Valley report for the
week of Nov 6, 2006
This week we have seen some
of the best sturgeon fishing
of the entire season. The
Fraser River near Mission
has been on fire for more
than 4 weeks now but this
last week has been pretty
special. Although the
November rains are upon us,
dont let that stop you.
From now until the end of
November we should continue
to see some spectacular
results.
Weekly update
Fraser River / Fraser Valley
Report
The Fraser River is
completely blown out, what
does this mean? It means if
your fishing for salmon,
forget it. Visibility is 0,
lots of debris in the water
including large logs under
the surface. The Vedder
River & Chehalis River are
the same, reports from the
Harrison this morning are
not good. Although the east
side of the river is
fishable, water is on the
rise and not much beach left
for wading. The heavy rains
are expected to continue
through until the end of the
week.
Sturgeon
This week we have seen some
of the best sturgeon fishing
of the season. The Fraser
River near Mission has been
on fire to say the least.
Our best day this week we
saw 4 of our boats land over
20 fish each, highest catch
was by STS Guide Ken Deptuck
with 30 fish landed, 7 fish
over 6 feet, 1 over 8 feet.
Most of our other boats were
landing good number of fish
between 5 to 7 feet. At one
point in the day, we had 4
STS boats chasing large fish
at the same time, thats
Trophy Sturgeon fishn at
its best.
The rain has colored up the
river and made fishing a bit
more difficult but it hasnt
seemed to stop the sturgeon
from feeding. We are still
offering daily charters out
of Mission and Harrison
until mid December. We will
then take a few weeks off
and begin our winter trout
and steelhead fishing.
Salmon
Forget salmon fishing for
the rest of the week, all
rivers in the valley are
high and dirty. Although
November is late for salmon
in most of British Columbia,
the Fraser Valley Rivers can
still offer some good
opportunities for Chum and
Coho. Water clarity will
improve if this rain stops,
first rivers to fish would
be Stave, Dewdney Slough and
Harrison River. Next up
would be Chehalis River.
Vedder River
The Vedder River is
completely un-fishable,
water levels are still
rising, and visibility is
poor. I will update the
Vedder River report as
conditions change.
Harrison River
The Harrison River is high
and rising. Water clarity on
the west side is poor due to
Chehalis River water flows,
east side is still clear.
Finding a place to fish is
becoming more difficult as
the rain is coming down hard
and the river is still
rising. Might be a few days
before the river settles
down and becomes fishable
again.
Winter Steelhead and trout
Fly-fishing
A peak at fishing
opportunities in the
Vancouver area - update
Nov 10 to Dec 15
Although most places in
Canada are beginning to
experience winter snow and
below 0 temperatures, the
Vancouver / Fraser Valley
area is fishable year round.
Our salmon season is almost
wrapped up but our winter
steelhead and trout fishing
is just beginning. We will
be offer sturgeon charters
through November up to Dec
15, then switch our focus to
winter steelhead and trout.
ATV Quad Tours
Come join us for a fun and
exciting day exploring the
Harrison Hot Springs,
Coquihala and Merritt area.
We offer daily Quad Tours
ranging from 4 hours to a
full day of riding. Our
guide tours are easy riding

occasional black Beer. A
lakeside shore lunch is
provided on all 6 and 8 hour
rides.
