Departing from Agassiz and Hope, these trips put you into wild, scenic sections of the Fraser River Canyon that receive very little fishing pressure. These remote stretches are home to the largest white sturgeon in the world. Fish here are measured in feet, and hooking a sturgeon over six feet long is not uncommon. These are powerful fish that require experienced guides and proper technique. The best months for Fraser River Canyon sturgeon fishing are July through November.
