Mainlanders SportFishing Sturgeon fishing B.C.
A Fraser River sturgeon and salmon guide out of Chilliwack, BC, with 360 five-star reviews, known for big fish and a barbecue lunch grilled on the boat.
What visitors say
Mainlanders SportFishing guides sturgeon and salmon trips on the Fraser River from Chilliwack, and its rating is about as strong as it gets: 360 of 361 reviews are five stars. The owner and the other guides get credit for being relaxed, fun and very knowledgeable about the river and its fish.
Lunch is part of the appeal. On trips that include it, guides grill burgers on the boat, and one group was sent off with a packed spread of fruit, cheese, sausage and cookies. Snacks and drinks are supplied, so you don't need to bring food. Booking is described as smooth.
The fishing lives up to it. One five-person, 10-hour trip landed 12 sturgeon from about 53 to 98 inches, and another guest fought a trophy fish long enough that the boat pulled anchor to follow it downstream. Salmon trips with kids get good reviews too, and the outfit is popular for family milestones and company events.
There are no real complaints. Weather on the river can be wet, as one winter group found, so dress for rain.
