The Fraser has been fishing well for sturgeon as the water levels have dropped from freshet and the fish are settling in for their summer feed. Productive baits have been roe, lamprey, dew worms and salmon parts.
If you are looking to do some local sturgeon fishing, we offer guided sturgeon trips on our 22 foot jet boat out of Richmond. We have world class sturgeon fishing only minutes from downtown. It’s a great way to see the city, do battle with some giants, and soak up the summer sun.
If you have your own boat and need some tackle, we have what you need at the shop. No boat, no problem. You can catch these amazing fish from shore as well. Drop by the shop to get setup and pointed in the right direction for some sturgeon bank angling.
If you haven’t sturgeon fished before, I highly recommend it. This time of year, these fish rip line off the reel and come flying out of the water on multiple big jumps. It’s truly an amazing fishery. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.
Tight Lines,
