2nd time out with Rick and it was great! Couldn’t have asked for a better day! Rick was energetic and attentive. Kept us on the fish and the lines out. Joined the 8ft+ club too. I had never hooked a sturgeon before, but with guidance I was setting hooks and bring them in. Will be out again!

If you plan to go sturgeon fishing, in my opinion, this is who you want to choose. Not only was Rick an excellent guide, he was very informative, knowledgeable, and great company. We caught many fish! For my first time, I was beyond happy! I will be using Fraser River Sturgeon fishing again and for any sturgeon fishing adventures in the future! Thanks again, rick, for an amazing trip and experience!

Captain Ricky kept us on sturgeon all day. His enthusiastic manner made for an excellent and exciting time on the Fraser!

BC’s Fraser River and Harrison River systems in Chilliwack, BC, are home to one of the world’s largest sturgeon populations. A commonly known fact in the sturgeon conversation.

We are the #1 destination for your sport fishing tours that’s grown imperative in such a short space of time, and anglers come from all around the world for these fishing tours and for the thrill of pursuing monster-sized sturgeon, salmon, sockeye, and steelhead as they leap their way along the Fraser River. Our fishing guides will follow all the bylaws involved that were given by the board of directors who speak to the sturgeon conversation

Meet This Ancient Fish With The Best Sturgeon Guides And Knock It Off Your Bucket List

It’s Canada’s largest freshwater fish and widely known as “river monsters.” In a full lifespan of over 100 years, it grows by a couple of inches each year, to more than 14 feet long and over 1000 pounds making it more difficult to catch when fishing for them.

The sturgeon has a distinctively different look – some say ugly, others think it’s unique. Its skin is not scaly but more like a shark’s skin, with rows of armoured scutes, which are small, sharp bony plates.

They feed by using their barrel to find food on the bottom of the river, and so their mouths are toothless suckers and the eyes are tiny and not much use to them which you can take advantage of on your white sturgeon catching trips in British Columbia.

They may live and feed along the river bottom, but once hooked, it will certainly make themselves known at and above the surface. Even larger sturgeon fish, commonly around 6 feet, will jump and put on a real show, even more so in their favourite warm water temperature at the Fraser River when fishing.

What Our Sturgeon
Guides Are All About And How They’ll Provide The Top Sturgeon Fishing Experience

The flats on either side of the dark spots can also pay as a place to drop your fishing bait. 20 to 40 feet of water is the most productive depth, but fish can also be caught at depths of 10 or 65 feet.

Take care navigating through the Fraser River waters during the fishing tours. As the depth figures above suggest, the currents can be unpredictable, much more than you might think, and winds can be intense.

Adding To The Sturgeon Conversation -Where To Find Sturgeon Fish in BC?

While the Fraser River and Harrison systems are the prime areas for white sturgeon charters locally, they are also found in the smaller tributaries for Fraser River fishing adventures. From Hells Gate (between Hope and Boston Bar) down to the mouth of the river, the lower river is home to a good supply of the Fraser River White Sturgeon breed as an excellent spot for sturgeon fishery.

They tend to be concentrated around seams, holes, and drop-offs at the bottom of the river. They are also plentiful in the quieter backwaters of the Fraser River, gathering where more food is available for them, so you know exactly where to find them all when fishing. It is hugely fulfilling to catch a Fraser River White Sturgeon and get it off your bucket list. Our sturgeon fishing guides are the happiest when we see this goal accomplished by our guests.

About Our Team

Our proud owner, Rick Funk, has been providing top-quality services to his loyal customers around the Tri-Cities and Greater Vancouver area for the past 27 years to his well-established and successful pressure washing business.

Rick Funk has taken the same pride, integrity, and devotion that built these businesses to run his new venture over the past three years, Fraser River Sturgeon Fishing, which we hope to include all of you to join in growing this together.

Our proud owner, Bill Evans, has been sturgeon fishing for 30+ years; that’s probably the most experience you’ll find locally in British Columbia.

Most of his trips these days are with the Dream Casters Society, a complimentary charter with first responders and veterans that he’s got so much passion for and shows how much he gives back to the community.

Frank Burgess has been fishing for sturgeon on the Fraser River since he was 15. His passion for fishing began when he and his friends saved up for their first fishing trip—an experience that left him completely hooked.

From that moment on, Frank dedicated all his spare time and resources to tackle and bait, spending countless evenings on the wharf catching sturgeon. Within just two years, he had saved enough to purchase his first jet boat, marking the beginning of his journey to mastering the art of Sturgeon Fishing.

Succeeding In Fishing In British Columbia and North America To Catch As Much White Sturgeon As Possible

Fishing on the Fraser River fishing guides can be a slow process that requires patience. If the barometric pressure is falling, progress will be considerably slower. Even so, if they are unwilling to be in a location after 30 minutes, they’re not coming, so move on and try another spot.

Don’t turn your drag all the way in, or you will lose your gear. The fish should be able to run with your bait and take long runs, so give other boats plenty of space during your white sturgeon charter in BC.

Taking a sturgeon can be a subtle process when fishing for sturgeons. Most times the fish will make a few smaller pulls before it decides to take your offering and run with the bait.
This inspection in the Sturgeon hunting process may take up to 10 minutes, and setting your hook too early is a common mistake when fishing. Once you feel a steady pull, take up your rod and point it towards the water. Pick up any slack line and firmly set the hook.
You’ll want to keep your boat as stable as possible when fishing for sturgeon. Holding still in the water and not moving around is bound to bring more success to your white sturgeon catching in BC adventures.
Winds and currents can make a boat unstable, but one inexpensive tip to help the situation just requires a standard size bucket with a hole cut in the center. Then just tie it to the back of the boat, and it will help stabilize the boat.
Do remember that our fishing guides only set up at fisheries that are catch and release areas.
Good luck fishing and chasing the sturgeon.
