Doesn't sound like a crazy idea to me, sounds fantastic! The Fraser is a world class fishery and those sturgeon grow to enormous sizes... make steel-head look like feeble fish. Come to Chilliwack.

Well its a good backup plan, but certainly seems insane to any steelhead fisherman.

Ya the plan is to do a couple days for sturgeon on the way to Chilliwack then a week and a half on the vedder for chinook/coho and chum. Then hit a couple days for sturgeon on the way back too. Bonus is theres a couple salmon derbys goin on while im there that I have actually won before. Still nothing like a good steelhead trip but making a solo trip I think it makes more sense to head south this year.

Steelhead guys get it... if I can I'm going to Terrace (weather permitting ) although sturgeon would be a nice change, nothing is better then the allure of the steelhead.

This is a true statement, I have yet to catch a steelhead but its been a life long dream to and since I have started fishing with a spey and caught some salmon this summer, Im hooked. Now I want to chase Steelhead al year. Even trying to convince the girlfriend we should go to the north end of Van Island or Haida Gwai or even Washington for new years so I can fish for steelhead.
