<p>Fraser river Sturgeon fishing is still very good! we are getting some nice fat fish right now. Guided Fishing Trips in November have produced some very nice fat fish combined with great jumps and good runs. We have consistently had very good Sturgeon fishing success this year from June to now and there has been many VERY Big fish this year!. Trust in our proven success. July to November is the prime time for these world record fish that many of my clients describe as better than Marlin! Our friends from Kings of Leon were out with us twice during their Vancouver visit in August and experienced some great Sturgeon fishing and caught some great King salmon too! Way to go Matt, Jarrod and Nacho. July 29 while filming a TV show for Shimano we hooked, played and landed a 9' - 8" Sturgeon weighing 500 lbs!.


The Sturgeon are here and biting provided you've got good bait, and we do. Despite a poor return of Sockeye, we are experiencing a banner season for the other 4 salmon species. Don't forget to book early for prime sturgeon fishing dates from July 15 to Nov 15, this is when the Big boys get taken! with most Sturgeon averaging 5-7 feet! with that 10+ footer waiting for you!! Silversides knows all the best baits to fool these lunkers!
