Sturgeon Fishing on the Fraser River of
British Columbia, Canada with SturgeonHunter.com!
There is now a new world-class destination for big game fishing: The Fraser River of British Columbia! Swimming beneath its fast flowing waters the white sturgeon
calls this River home. The white sturgeon is a game fish to be reckoned with; this prehistoric relic has not survived for millennia out of pure luck, as these fish are tough... and did I mention BIG! Fraser River sturgeon can reach lengths of over 13 feet and weights exceeding 1000 pounds. Most of the sturgeon that are caught on the Fraser are between 3 and 8 feet. Sturgeon are awesome fighters, with long reel screaming runs, cart wheel leaps, and knock down drag em out tug of war battles that define the white sturgeon of the Fraser river. White sturgeon come in all shapes and sizes: long, short, fat and even sometimes skinny. Each sturgeon is a unique individual having the ravages of time, mold, and shape each one because sturgeon are long lived fish, and can live in excess of 150 years. Making a living in the Fraser River is a difficult life and only the toughest and most resourceful will survive.
The Fraser River is located in the southwest portion of British Columbia, Canada and the majority of our guided sturgeon fishing charters start in Chilliwack. Chilliwack is a small city located about 1.5 hours drive east from Vancouver so access is very easy.
The Fraser River is a large, beautiful, and scenic river. Bald eagles, Seals, Deer, Ospreys, Turkey vultures and sometimes Black Bears are common sights on an average guided sturgeon fishing charter.
For years guided Salmon fishing charters have been the main draw to the Fraser river of British Columbia, but since the year 2000 the word has got out: sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River is Awesome!
I can't remember how many guests have come for a guided Salmon fishing charter and gave that sturgeon fishing thing a try. Guess what they left talking about: The sturgeon!
