Sturgeon fishing has remained steady as the sturgeon are focused on feeding this time of year, fattening up in the fall before the winter temperatures set in and their metabolism slows down.
They are primarily focused on the salmon that are in the river right now and that means pinks, as about 15 to 20 million returned this summer. With all that food in the river the big boys are on the feed wagon and that makes for some exciting fishing.
Fishing will continue to be good for the rest of September and into October and early November. We do have some rain in the forecast for next week, so that will be the first shake up in water conditions in awhile. Generally, the fish adapt quickly to changes in river conditions and our jet boat is covered and has a heater, so rain is not a big deal and the local rivers need it.
If you want to do battle with the largest freshwater fish in North America that rips line, jumps out of the water and shows you who’s boss, give us a call to book your trip. World class sturgeon fishing is only minutes from downtown Vancouver.
