Fraser Valley Adventure
 The Fraser Valley
Adventure is available 12 months of the year but is best in the
winter, spring and fall months. The Valley has several rivers, lakes
and streams with salmon, steelhead and trout.
This adventure will allow you
to witness the most colorful time of the year in B.C. The mix of
evergreens and deciduous
trees, with their red, gold
and orange leaves, line the riverbanks. Bald eagles will soar above
you as you make your way to the best fishing locations via jet boat.
One of the most exciting
time of years to fish in the Fraser Valley is the fall. There are
many Chum salmon in the rivers ranging
from twelve to twenty four pounds, with an average of sixteen. There
are also Coho,
Chinook and
sockeye salmon in the
river plus some cutthroat trout.
On odd years, 2007 and 2009 for example, the Fraser and
Harrison rivers are also full of Pink
salmon.
These salmon
are one of the easiest to catch on the fly.
The run usually arrives in
late
August and lasts until October. The pink salmon runs
are usually in the 10-20 million.
 Winter
and spring months
produce some
of the largest cutthroat trout and some of the biggest
steelhead in the southwest of British Columbia.
April and the first two
weeks of May is PRIME TIME for Coastal Cutthroat trout, as
these fish are particularly active then. They are very
energetic while feeding, thrashing the surface like piranha as the migrating
salmon fry swim by the holding trout. Cutthroat trout are
carnivores and are easily spotted while feeding.
The Fraser
Valley is home to one of the most successful Steelhead
hatchery programs in British Columbia. Combined with a
healthy wild population, fly fishing for
Steelhead can be
a great experience. This trip is suitable for more
accomplished anglers as these fish can be a challenge;
however, we do offer one on one fly fishing for steelhead for beginners. Fishing for steelhead involves a
walk and wade trip on rivers that are just as beautiful in
the winter as in the summer. Click here for

Adventure.
