Rivers of the Fraser Valley Back Home
Harrison River
The Harrison River is one of the more scenic rivers in the Fraser Valley.
Although this river is not long, it does offer some great fishing for all 5
species of salmon in late summer and fall, Steelhead and Cutthroat in spring and
Sturgeon.
Chehalis River:
The Chehalis River is approx 15 miles long, 12 miles of this river is pristine
canyon wilderness with white water rapids and hundreds of water falls. This
river has good runs of Steelhead, Coho, Chum, Chinook and a small run of summer
run Steelhead. Because of the rugged canyon most of the angling is done in the
lower section of the river. Crowding is a problem on this river as hundreds of
angler squeeze together in hopes of that big salmon.
Vedder River
The Vedder River is one of the largest tributaries to the Fraser. It is approx
35 miles long with good shore access throughout the entire length. This river
has large runs of steelhead in the winter and spring, large runs of salmon in
late summer and fall. This River gets a bit crowded during peak Steelhead and
Salmon season but if you know the river you can easily find a quiet place to
catch some fish.
Stave River
The lower Stave River offers some good salmon angling opportunities in the fall
and trout opportunities in the spring. This river gets large runs of Chum salmon
as well as good numbers of Coho salmon. Stave Lake and Upper Stave River both
offer good angling in the spring for Cutthroat Trout and Dolly Varden Char.
Lilloet River
This river offers a unique opportunity for those looking for adventure. Getting
there is half the fun, most guides run jet boats across Harrison Lake then jet
boat up this narrow shallow river or we fly you in via Helicopter. The Lilloet
offers good angling for Cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden Char in the spring and
fall with some opportunities for salmon in the fall.
Skagit River
The Skagit River can be compared to many trout streams in the Colorado region.
Lots of good quality rainbows ranging from 10 to 18 inches and Dolly Varden Char
to 8 lbs. This river is a non- guided river, many clients will spend a day on
their own on this little gem that offers great fly fishing opportunities from
July 1st to mid August. If you plan on going you might want to checkout our fly
patterns.
