The Chilliwack, Harrison Hot Springs and the Fraser Valley as a whole are attractive due to the beauty, climate, and great people. Opportunity abounds with the many rivers and lakes that are nestled amongst the towering snow capped mountains for the outdoorsman or recreational angler. The Fraser Valley has become a very popular destination for people that travel the world in pursuit of sportfishing holidays. We are conveniently located near several rivers that are very productive due to the tremendous returns of wild salmon each year. Chinook, Coho, Chum, Sockeye, and Pink salmon all migrate through our region providing both fly fishing and conventional gear opportunities for all to enjoy. The mighty Fraser River is the main artery of millions of migrating salmon that pass through on their way to the spawning grounds. This river is home of the long lived sturgeon, the largest fresh water fish in North and South Americas. These monster fish grow to over one thousand pounds and live nearly 200 years. They are considered to be one of the most spectacular fresh water sports fish to catch and release, having the reputation for their size, strength and impressive jumps. The Fraser River provides us with the last healthy wild stocks of this species in the world. A catch and release fishery has been well monitored and regulated with the help of the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society, supported by the guiding industry, where monitoring and assessment is strictly controlled to provide very accurate scientific data that is being recognized as the best in the world.
