Fraser River Sturgeon Fishing Report - September 27, 2024

Early September blessed us with some warm weather, but its finally starting to feel like fall. Its time to retire the shorts and T-shirts and get out the rain gear for some of the most exciting sturgeon fishing of the year! September in the lower Fraser River has so far been nothing short of outstanding.

A sturgeon putting on a show this past weekend!

Our Pacific Angler jet boat has been out regularly, returning with tales of double-digit hookups, double headers, and some massive sturgeon. The incredible productivity of the fishery right now can be partly credited to the exceptional salmon run in the Fraser River this season. Discarded salmon parts—like heads and fins—have been the go-to bait since they’re abundant in the river and exactly what the sturgeon are focusing on. Salmon roe has also proven to be highly effective and will remain a top bait choice as we move deeper into the fall.

These fish are highly motivated right now. With so much food present in the river, the sturgeon are seizing the opportunity and feeding aggressively. Expect big runs and massive jumps from these energized and eager fish. If you’re heading out on your own, make sure you’re equipped with the right gear to handle these powerful fish and fresh, high-quality bait. With an overwhelming number of salmon in the river, sturgeon have plenty of options. If your bait isn’t top-notch, they won’t hesitate to pass it up.

This is truly prime time for sturgeon fishing. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, just a short drive from downtown Vancouver, hop on our jet boat and get in on the action! Call us at 778-788-8582 or click "Book a Trip" above.
