World-class sportfishing on Vancouver’s doorstep!
Your sturgeon adventure starts right on the Lower Fraser River where our jet boat is moored at our marina in the city of Richmond. We have specifically chosen this location as it is only minutes from downtown Vancouver and right next to some of our top producing fishing grounds.
Within minutes of leaving the dock you will find yourself fishing for these living dinosaurs while experiencing the Fraser River like never before. It is truly amazing to fish for the largest freshwater fish in North America while being surrounded by the historical, working and natural sites of the Fraser River.
