BC Boat & Sportsman Show coming soon.
March 5, 6 & 7th at the Abbotsford Tradex Center.
The BC Boat & Sportsman show is by far one of the best hunting, fishing & boating shows in BC. Most of the major tackle representatives will be there with the latest and greatest in fishing and hunting equipment.
Hells Canyon Marine is back again this year with the latest innovations in Jet Boat design. HCM has been leading the industry in specialty designs for any application. Whether you're a Whitewater fanatic like myself, prefer to run shallow technical rivers, a fishing guide looking for that edge or a recreational boater wanting an all round boat, HCM will have a bit of everything at this years show.

| Weekly Update | ||
| Fraser River The Fraser River has been fishing very well for Cutthroat Trout. In fact many of our local fly fishers are reporting some of the best winter fishing in many years. This may be due to warmer weather trends and the fact that this past fall we have 20 million Pink Salmon spawn in the Fraser. The Pink Salmon fry will be the first to hatch and because of the warm weather, we can probably expect this years hatch to come off a bit earlier than normal. Best fly fishing will be in the main channel anywhere Pink Salmon spawned. Try fishing any of the bars between Herling Island and mouth of the Vedder. For shore access, try Peg Leg, Herling Island or Agassiz/Rosedale Gill Rd access.  We were on the water this past week with some Olympic guests from Czechoslovakia. Although sturgeon are still mostly in winter mode, we did manage to land 4 nice fish with one over 5 ft. Water temperatures are still below 40F but we can expect a slow warming over the next few weeks. Our next peak sturgeon season is in the spring, which brings our annual migration of the Eulachon (small bait fish) to the Fraser River to spawn. Food in winter is scarce so when the Eulachon arrive the Sturgeon are eager to feed, it's not uncommon to hook 15 to 20 fish in a 6 hour trip. If you're looking for a great spring fishing adventure, sturgeon/steelhead combo makes for a great angling vacation.  |

| Vedder River Steelhead | ||
Water conditions on the Vedder are excellent, visibility is good, water is a bit high but will steadily drop over the next few days. Fishing this past week has been very good. STS Guides Thomas and Gerry have both been doing very well. Yesterday Thomas had a great day on the water, landing 5 steelhead, Gerry landed 2. Most of the fish are being caught by anglers float fishing with salmon eggs or shrimp tails. Short floating seems to be the preferred presentation and is producing the best results. For fly anglers, best to fish the lower river where runs are larger and tail outs seems to be the preferred holding area's for steelhead. The mid river area between Bolder run and Vedder crossing is producing some nice fish but most of this water is best fished with float rod set up.  |

| Trout fishing in the Valley | ||
 The Upper Pitt River sea-run Bull Trout fishery is almost hear. End of May through the month of June is best. Book now as we limit the number of anglers per day on this river. Last year our biggest trout was 12 lbs but we did manage quite a few fish between 8 to 10 and lots of 4 to 6 lb trout. Our best day was 40 fish on the fly so don't miss out on this world class fishery.  There are several local rivers that offer some great winter trout fishing on the fly. Although these rivers can sometimes be difficult to reach due to bad weather, they are definitely worth the effort. We will continue to offer guided trout fishing throughout the winter for those anglers looking for some real adventure. Please give us a call or e-mail to find our more about our winter trout fishing adventures. |

| Harrison River | ||
The Harrison River can produce some good results for cutthroat trout during the winter months. Fishing egg patterns under a float with a drift rod or fly rod is a great way to entice them, also fly fishing with streamers and minnow patterns can work well. One fly that should not be overlooked in the winter is the Flesh fly using a down stream dead drift presentation. If you're not planning on hitting the flow over the winter, spend some time on our fly tying gallery, you will find hundreds of fly patterns to choose from.
