Great River Fishing Adventures
A large guided fishing outfitter in Chilliwack, BC, running Fraser River and Fraser Canyon trips for sturgeon and several salmon species, praised for hard-working, knowledgeable guides.
What visitors say
Great River Fishing Adventures runs guided trips on the Fraser River from Chilliwack, including days up in the Fraser Canyon. With more than 150 reviews and a strong majority of five stars, it's one of the better-known sturgeon operations in the area.
Guests name a range of guides, including Mitch, Dawson and Dean, and the common thread is hard work and knowledge. Even on slow days, with rising water and debris, reviewers say the guides still got them onto fish, including one sturgeon of about 10 feet. Boats and equipment are described as top notch. A visiting group in early October landed Chinook, Coho, Sockeye and Chum salmon as well as sturgeon.
Reviewers also value what they learn on the water. Guides share insight into fish species, habitats and the history of the river and the people connected to it, and one group fished through a partnership with the Métis Nation. It suits first-timers and returning anglers alike.
A handful of low ratings appear among the 150-plus reviews, but none of the recent written reviews explain them. River conditions can make fishing slow, so go in expecting that the guide will work for it rather than guaranteed numbers.
