Escorted Sturgeon Fishing Canada

overview
Dave Plummer one of the UK’S top and most requested guides is now doing again group trips to British Columbia hunting down the mighty Sturgeon on the famous Frazer River. If you are a single angler or a small group this escorted trip is ideal. The fishing will be from the state of art jet boats, top fishing tackle and the regions best fishing guides. We have based this group trip on 4 anglers per boat per day, making it a very cost effect way to both fish and catch these monster fish. (Believe us once you have caught and landed one you will be glad of a short rest while others in the boat take their turn to do battle).

Sturgeon Fishing British Columbia is an adventure you will always remember. Reaching weights exceeding 1000 pounds these Sturgeon inhabit the murky waters of the mighty Fraser. Special tackle and gear is required for these great fish, which is provided for you on your fishing adventure. A boat is a necessity as well and it must be rigged properly to fish for these giants.

Most of the "larger" fish average between 100 and 200 pounds! However, our largest sturgeon exceeded 800 lbs! That is the exciting and mysterious aspect of sturgeon fishing; you just never know what is "nibbling" at the end of your line! For your best bet, (we believe there is nothing like it on the continent), we recommend the sturgeon-fishing holiday as the most memorable holiday you will ever take.

This is big, deep fast river fishing at its very best. You will be using powerful quality tackle, fishing from superb boats in stunning surroundings. You will see eagles, perhaps bears and vast log rafts.
