It's a new season!!




Well, it’s the start of a new season, and we hope you’ve had a nice winter. The phone has begun ringing, and the emails have started pouring in, with requests from past guests eager to secure their spots for some of our more limited prime fisheries. I mean limited by windows of opportunity on certain systems, run timing, and just my plain old availability. If your interested in returning on your previous dates, or you are looking for any info on guided fishing opportunities,  please contact us as soon as possible.
We will doing our spring Columbia river packages at the end of April and beginning of May again this year. This amazing trout fishery must be tried at least  once if you love chasing big rainbows on every method known to fly fisherman. Contact us for available left.

We are booking lots of dates for our spring fisheries for cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, dollie varden, and steelhead on various local flows in the Fraser Valley.

We have lots of space for sea run bull trout on the Upper Pitt, but are available dates for the salmon fishery are very limited, so you must act quickly if you are planning on taking a trip to this incredible venue this summer! Please contact us for available dates left.

The fall salmon fishery on our local flows for chinook, coho, chum salmon, are almost sold out for my boat but I do have 2 great associate guides willing to help out with the overflow, so please contact us soon to reserve a spot. We also are very optimistic that we will have a chance to fish for sockeye salmon on the Fraser this summer so stay tuned for availability as August approaches.

And then there is sturgeon fishing :) We are so excited to be working with 2 of the best sturgeon guides in the Fraser Valley this season!! I know that is one big claim to make, but these 2 guys probably guide more days for sturgeon than anybody around, and have tagged more fish for the mark recapture program being done by the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society than any members of the team! So rest assured if you want to book a sturgeon trip, you will be in very capable hands. We are blessed to be able to catch sturgeon 12 months of the year, so give us a call anytime and we will see that you catch some :) We are also offering a spring special for sturgeon this year. Most of our fishing in the spring  takes place on the lower Fraser where feeding activity differs greatly based on the tides. There is almost always a hot 4-5 hour period, a couple times each day where sturgeon feed more aggressively, so we are offering short trips based on the tides to head out, get sore arms, then head in. Contact us for details and availability.

We are working with some great accommodations as well this season, if your planning a multi day adventure, let us build a package to suite your holiday.

We hope to hear from you, and can’t wait to spend some time on the water making all your fishing dreams from this winter come true!!

Team Sweden ;)

Spent a few days with one of the nicest couples that I fish with. This was Wolfgang and Meta's 4th time fishing with me and I was sad to see them go! Enjoy a few pics from trip, that had some of the weirdest July weather ever!

Pitt River Bull Trout

After a huge bump in water height last week, the river has settled back down and has been fishing pretty good. Bull trout between 2 and 4 pounds seemed to be the norm right now, but we've been hooking the odd slab up to 8! I had a couple guys from Alberta out this week, and John (in the blue jacket) had not fly fished before! After a quick half hour lesson in casting and swinging streamers, he looked like a pro!!
 The other highlight was watching a black bear feeding along the opposite bank from where we were fishing, here are a couple pics, enjoy.

Remote fly fishing

Got to spend a few days exploring some of the boat access only areas, and with the higher water from the snow melt things went well! Mananaged some beautifully fish on the fly rods with a great gentleman named Ian from the UK. He managed to catch 5 different species of fish including, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, dolly varden, mountain whitefish, and bull trout! Enjoy a couple of pics from the last few days!
