IT’S A NEW YEAR, AND A NEW SEASON!

IN BLOG

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!!

September salmon on the fly!

 Well the salmon fishing on the fly has been nothing short of spectacular! 25 to 75 fish days have been the norm for 1-2 anglers :)

We have landed some nice early coho salmon on the fly this week, so it's looking like it should be a great season for them as well. 

Although we haven't hooked one yet, we have seen quite a few chum salmon starting to roll around too, so it shouldn't be long before

we are battling those brutes on the fly!! All of my guests can't say enough good things about the new rods on board this season.

The LOOP Cross S1 series has been our go to rod for salmon, and on a guide boat you see all kinds of rod mishaps.... These ones are

still going strong!! Can't believe the abuse they can take, just incredible. October is just around the corner, so if you want to book a

trip for coho, and chum salmon on the fly, act fast as we only have a few dates left.

Fresh pink salmon and huge sturgeon

We had a great week so far catching fresh pink salmon on flies, jigs, spinners, and spoons. More and more fresh fish are arriving daily. The big sturgeon are really keying on fresh salmon parts and we are catching some great fish!! Check out some pics of our last group, they landed 28 fish between 4' and
7 1/2 feet long in three days!!

It's Cutthroat season!

All winter we wait for it start to warm up a bit and for the salmon fry to emerge from the gravel and begin their migration out to sea. When this happens it triggers a feeding frenzy by diving ducks, gulls, herons, and most importantly Cutthroat trout!! Next to steelhead, Cutthroat trout are my favorite thing to fish and guide for, probably because of the variety of places, and methods we fly fish for them. It was a great day today, both weather and company wise, so enjoy some pics.

February 8th chasin' dinos!

The Outback Fishers!!!

Had a great day on the water with Des from Australia and his 2 sons Kyle and Sage, yup named Sage after the rod company just like my son! These kids were a couple keeners, and after missing a few bites in the beginning, they were all over those sturgeon! They managed to land 26 fish in under 4 hours, with 4 double headers (2 fish on at a time)They helped put some tags in new fish for the tagging program with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society. It was big smiles, and sore arms for the boys from ''down under'' before they had to jump on a plane back home. Nice work guy's :)

Another duck season comes to an end :(

Well another season comes to an end sadly! The last few days have been frosty and clear but today was  a bit milder with a thick low fog. All in all it was a great season. My regular duck hunting partner Chad and I are a little bummed, but probably not as much as my dog Fraser lol! Chad I relived a few memories of over a couple dozen hunts while enjoying a HUGE breakfast at our local "greasy spoon" here in Yarrow called the Vedder Mountain Grill. Only 8 more months till duck season ;)

Winter Sturgeon

Did the annual winter sturgeon trip with my buddies and their sons. We do it every year at the same time over the holidays to share some laughs and hopefully put some tags in some new fish for the mark recapture program that I'm part of with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society. The conditions were great and the fishing fantastic. We boated 50 fish in 5 hours, and only 16 were recaptures. Great to put some tags in a few new fish for the society. The boys were very busy landing, tagging, and recording data. Its great getting the kids involved with this. At one point all five rods had a bite at once, creating some interesting maneuvers! Looking forward to this trip again. Enjoy a couple pics from our day.
