Fly fishing anglers looking for an exciting river fishing experience who are also seeking to fly fish for Salmon need not look any further than the Fraser river and its tributaries.
Fly fishing in the Fraser valley is rich with opportunities. Our primary season for our guided fly fishing charters is from September to late November. Fly fishing for Salmon in the Fraser and Harrison rivers is spectacular! Our waters provide some really unique settings from big open flows to small slow backwaters only accessible buy jet boat, our waters truly have something for everyone! Fortunately our rivers are blessed with all five species of Salmon. This provides ample fly fishing situations depending on when you book your trip.
September on odd years 2005,2007,2009 etc is prime time for Pink salmon or Humpies. These willing fish arrive in large numbers usually between 8 and 20 million so the action is usually none stop. Our Pinks average about 5 lbs each, Great sport and a very popular fishery. Sockeye are also available in September and are a great fighting fish, Sockeye will range between 5 and 10 pounds. September Sockeye runs vary from season to season so for this reason we consider them a secondary target species, great fishing when available.
October is a prime month to fly fish for Salmon.
Pink Salmon (odd years) Coho, Chum and Chinook are all available for fly fishing. Our Chum Salmon run is the largest and they are readily available, these big guys run from 10 to 25 pounds. Chum salmon are great fighters and take a fly well. Coho salmon are found mostly in backwaters so an accurate presentation is required for these dynamic fish. Coho range from 4 to 15 pounds. Chinook salmon are also available and can get very large. Chinook run between 15 and 50 plus pounds. Chinook are usually caught in the larger flows while fishing for Chum Salmon but tend to run in the deeper
faster water so we also classify them as a secondary species.
November is still great fishing and our primary targets are Chum and Coho salmon fishing is usually good up till about the 20th of the month.
