TAKE A GUIDED STURGEON FISHING TRIP ON THE MIGHTY FRASER RIVER. CHILLIWACK IS TRULY A YEAR-ROUND FISHING DESTINATION.
Chilliwack, BC is a haven of freshwater fishing. The Fraser River is home to one of the last truly wild populations on white sturgeon in the world. These impressive creatures can exceed 13 feet and weigh more than 1,500 pounds. White sturgeon have survived virtually unchanged for 65 million years and can live for close to 200 years. There’s a reason why they call dinosaurs. Sturgeon fishing in Chilliwack provides ample opportunity to connect with a prehistoric giant.
The waters surrounding Chilliwack are also home to all five species of Pacific salmon, trout, and a healthy annual return of winter-run steelhead. The Vedder River runs right through the heart of Chilliwack, and provides plenty of walking access throughout the system. Other nearby water bodies include Cultus and Chilliwack Lakes, both holding an abundance of Bull trout.
Chilliwack has a down-home vibe and plenty to offer aside from fishing, located approximately 60 minutes drive time east of Vancouver and only 2 1/2 hours north of Seattle.
