Vancouver fishing for Steelhead on local rivers is very good in Feb and March. Recent trips have produced great results for steelhead up to 18 lbs!

The Chilliwack river is just 1 hour from downtown Vancouver and is famous for its Winter run of Wild and Hatchery Steelhead. Each time we have taken clients there this season we have hooked into fish with our biggest client fish a beautiful 17.2 lb hatchery Steelhead. We use methods such as float/drift and Fly fishing. We are very experienced and professional at what we do, and that is knowing what Steelhead can't resist.

If your up this way then get in touch with us and we'll show you a great day on the river!
