Default BC Sturgeon Fishing Trip

My little brother wants to do a sturgeon fishing trip on the Fraser this summer for his stag. I’m all for it. We will likely rent 2 boats and require accommodations nearby.

What is the best time of year to fish the Fraser? Any suggestions on the best sturgeon outfits to go with, and/or ones to avoid? We wanna catch some fish and have lots of fun.

Thanks!

If you have a boat and electronics I would hit the lower Fraser without a guide

I might even be willing to help you out with information. Last guy I helped did really well. I would have to check my PMs for the size and numbers he caught

If you are going to hire a guide go river monsters because they area is a nicer, less pressure, and some good fish

A few years back we went with cascade fishing adventures.

We got on some really nice ones and numbers too, had a blast!

We've always used Robert at Kilby Lodge. His outfit is top notch and there's plenty of fish. Prime area that's a little less pressured.
If I wasn't booking with Robert it'd be River Monsters or Yves Bisson.

Sturgeon Hunters out of Chilliwack was really good. Been there twice and can't wait to go back again. Steve was really good to deal with and his guides are top notch!

Gone out several times with sturgeon slayers, always caught lots of big ones, several times me and the wife have even been doubled hooked at the same time. Now that’s intense fighting two at the same time.

Their social posts look like they are fishing the canyon. Lillooet area?

Chad McAdie 'Fishing the Fraser' 604 845-0522 Chilliwack. He grew up on the river and works hard.

I've fished with him a few times. Never caught a big one, 9' is my PB but lots of fish.
