Fishing BC Presents: Connecting with Sturgeon in Harrison Hot Springs
Nearly a century ago, commercial fishing nearly cleaned out sturgeon from the Fraser River system. Today, thanks to extensive research and determined conservation, the numbers — as well as the size —of these prehistoric fish have bounced back.
The return of sturgeon to the Fraser River creates a unique catch-and release sport fishing opportunity, one that Yves Bisson of the BC Sport Fishing Group is happy to be a part of. He hooked his first sturgeon as a child and knew from then he always wanted sturgeon to be a part of his life.
Today, he guides clients near Harrison Hot Springs, connecting people with fish that often exceed eight feet in length and weigh hundreds of pounds.
Sarah Schreier, with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society, says the success of the sturgeon recovery program has, in large measure, been made possible because of the work of many volunteers, including sport anglers who collect important data with every fish caught.
Anglers provide researchers regular data about individual fish, their size and weight and where they live. Each fish caught is tagged before its release. Other anglers who subsequently catch the fish are able to provide scientists valuable information about the species.
Bisson says he is grateful to be a part of an effort that will ensure his children as well as their children will always be able to fish for sturgeon. “They are amazing animals to be around,” Bisson says.

Fishing BC Presents: Campbell River with Coastal Wilderness Adventures
Nestled on the protected inside passage of Georgia Strait, on the east side of Vancouver Island, Campbell River is home to some of the largest runs of passing salmon to be found anywhere on B.C.’s coast. Uniquely situated to intercept all 5 species as they migrate home, this area allows consistent fisheries for each species. Famously, the location is prime for big chinook salmon, as these ocean kings gather here to feed on bait fish all spring and summer before making their trek home.
Curtis Smith is a certified tidal angling guide and owner of Coastal Wilderness Adventures. He has spent years searching for the best methods and the best waters in and around Campbell River, to be able to share this collective knowledge, passion for sportfishing and commitment to conservation with his clients.
Campbell River is well-known as the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’ and home to the famous Tyee Club where there’s always the potential to land a 30+ pound chinook salmon known as a “Tyee,” which means “The Chief” or “Great Leader” in coastal First Nations language.
Having the conveniences and amenities available in Campbell River in such close proximity to calm water and wild, remote fishing grounds only minutes outside the city, this area offers something for all anglers, any time of year.

Fishing BC Presents: The Fraser Canyon with Great River Fishing Adventures
Columbia’s interior, creating a one-of-a-kind chance for anglers to connect with the river and the fish that course through it.
From steelhead and salmon to sturgeon, a prehistoric behemoth with potential to reach staggering size and weight. Connecting with a 1,000-pound fish provides anglers with an experience unlike any other kind of fishing in B.C.
Jet boats make the trip up and down the river part of the adventure, and the journey to fishing grounds will imprint forever into memory.
“The Fraser River — wow. It’s a very powerful river in terms of the number of fish the pass through. The adventure (I offer) is about passion, and love and caring — not only for the environment but for the species as a whole,” says Dean Werk, the owner of Great River Fishing Adventures.
He adds the sport fishery on the Fraser River is steeped in history and Aboriginal culture. People feel the power of that experience, and the unique connection to First Nations culture enriches the fishing.

Here's a PIREP video for the airstrip at Canim Lake. Nice and long and wide and in good shape, just a little bumpy at the south end. This is a PPR airstrip but I was unsuccessful finding who to contact. I was checking out a lot for sale next to the strip so I figured it was okay to land. :)
