Fraser River
The Salmon season is pretty much over for the Fraser River. Some of the tributaries are still producing results but that won’t last much longer. Winter Cutthroat fishing will begin to pick up over the next few weeks so keep an eye on your local backwaters for actively feeding fish.

Sturgeon
Sturgeon fishing continues to be good. The wind has been a bit of a pain but well worth the rewards if you withstand the colder mornings.

Great Christmas Gift idea
We are extending our $50.00 discount until Christmas. If you book an 8 hr guided sturgeon trip or a gift certificate you will receive $50.00 off the regular price if you mention this ad.

Vedder
The Vedder is pretty much over for salmon fishing for this year. A few Steelhead have been caught but it’s still too early to have a realistic opportunity to catch one. If you’re like me and don’t fish the Vedder for salmon, this is a good time to walk the river and look for good steelhead water. Of course you would carry your rod and fish along the way.

Great Christmas Gift idea

Steelhead season is just around the corner.
This season will we once again be offering our annual steelhead/river fishing seminar. This seminar is a 3- day seminar. The first 2 days are 2 hours in a classroom where you will learn the how’s, where’s and when’s of river fishing plus how to make your own tackle and save tones of $$$$. The 3rd day is a 6-hour fish out on the Vedder River. There are some great prizes to give away and you will receive a FREE STS Ball cap. You will also go home with tackle that you make during the classroom sessions.
Seminar Dates: Hub Sports- January 14,16 & 19
Gills tackle- January 8, 10 & 13
January 15,17,& 20

This is what one of our students had to say!
"Hi Vic, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your Steelhead Seminar. I admire your patience, your excellent people skills and your superb knowledge on all aspects of the fishing industry. It's really enjoyable to watch a pro work at what they do best.

My confidence is high, my lines are always tight and my turn will come. I look forward to seeing you on the river again."

Thanks Again."

Chehalis
The Chehalis river salmon season is winding down quickly. There are still a few clean Coho being caught but most of the fish are dark and getting ready to spawn. People intentionally trying to snag fish have been reported by several anglers.

This is our resource to use but abuse can result in limited and reduced opportunities. We have seen this with scale bar in Hope and we will see it again if we don’t speak out against those who use illegal methods. Speak out against snaggers or people who abuse our resources.

Harrison
Like most other rivers the salmon season is pretty much over on the Harrison. There is still the odd Coho and Chum around but these fish are getting tired. The odd clean Coho and chum is still being caught at the mouth but you really have to work for them.

Local Sloughs

Norish /Dewdney is one of the last places to catch clean Coho. Although there are still some good numbers of fish in the system these fish have seen just about all the gear you could imagin. Several of the larger pools are stacked with coho but again these fish are tight lipped.
