Salmon Fishing British Columbia

Salmon fishing in the Fraser River in British Columbia is what sports anglers around the world are calling a sport fishing paradise. Five species of Pacific Salmon migrate up the Fraser River annually in search of their spawning tributaries. Our fishing guides target these fresh fish on the Fraser River as well as the Harrison, Stave, Vedder, and Pitt River systems.

With huge runs of Sockeye Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Chum Salmon, and Pink Salmon there is always something to angle for.

Chinook Salmon or Spring (King) salmon are the largest of the salmon species, growing to over 60 lbs. They are very strong fighters and can spool 200 yards of 30 lb. line before you know it. Chinook are famous for their great energy reserves, the power these fish have is awesome. Sizes range from 15 to 60 pounds with average fish weighing 25 pounds. There is an abundance of Chinook salmon in the Fraser, Chehalis, and Chilliwack/Vedder Rivers of British Columbia.

Prime Times: June-October

Coho Salmon fishing is almost a way of life on the local rivers during the fall, with huge runs coming in on the rain filled rivers such as the Chilliwack and Chehalis. These smaller systems allow the use of very light tackle or fly equipment. Coho fishing in British Columbia is a sportsman's dream. Coho are very challenging to fool, one day they grab anything going by, while other times Coho seem to ignore even the best offerings. If it is a challenge you want, this is an excellent sport fish. Our fishing guides offer both conventional and fly fishing trips for all salmon!

Prime Times: September-December

Chum Salmon are so plentiful during the fall that local anglers find them a nuisance when seeking more preferred species such as Coho Salmon. Chum ranging up to 20 pounds are terrific fighters especially on the fly.

Prime Times: October-December

Pink Salmon run on odd years '2007, 2009, 2011, etc' and average 3 to 5 pounds. These salmon are aggressive biters and can be readily taken on the fly as well as other methods.

Prime Times: September-October

Sockeye Salmon are the most plentiful of the BC Pacific Salmon, each year literally millions of these acrobatic silver bullets enter the Fraser River, Sockeye are very streamlined and battle extremely well, often spending more time in the air than in the water. The Sockeye average 4 to 8 pounds, and are considered ''Great Table Fare''. Due to the nature of these fish, openings vary from year to year, with August marking the peak of their return.

Prime Times: July-September
