Default Fraser river sturgeon

Looking at making a trip out to the Fraser this summer to catch some of these giant old dinosaurs. Would be 2-3 days in mid August. Looking for a good charter, Anyone have any suggestions?

We went with Cascade last September out of Chilliwack and had a great day. 2 of use landed 9 and lost another 3. No giants though with biggest going 72". Our guide Clayton was awesome and I would highly recommend him.

There are a ton of other outfits on the river though and I am sure you will get recommendations for pretty much all of them. You will have a great time, it's about as much fun as you can have with your pants on!

I've only ever gone to the Fraser River Lodge. Been 3 times and I've always caught good and their guides are great.

Yup he is one of the best out there. We have been with STS and Cascade as well but will keep going out with Braeden.

Last fall my fishing buddy caught a 9'2, I believe a couple 8's, some 7's and a bunch of 6's with him.
