Visit the Fraser River for a spectacular view and delicious fresh salmon and trout. The Fraser River is a wild fishery. Its size averages between 12-15inches and some species can exceed 20inches. The Fraser River is primarily made up of Browns. However, there are 29% Rainbows as well as 1% Brook Trout. A truly enjoyable fishing trip is possible because of the diversity of these fish.
Yves has a wonderful sturgeon fishing charter guide
The Fraser River is home for some of most impressive freshwater fish, including the White Sturgeon, if you are a veteran angler. This is the perfect place to catch these giants if you are in Vancouver Canada. What's so special about Fraser River? Yves loves guiding anglers in the best spots to catch them.
Yves is a professional salmon fishing guide and has over 15 year experience on Fraser River. He's actually tagged more fish that any other sturgeon guide ever since the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society began tagging their fish in 2000. His personal best Fraser River Sturgeon measurement is 344 cm. He also estimates that the Fraser River Sturgeon weighs between seven to eight hundred pounds.
Regulations
The rules for fraser River fishing vary depending on where and how you fish. You are required to release all rainbow trout caught if you fish in the Headwaters To Safeway area. In the Fraser Canyon-South area, you can keep only two trout at one time. You will need to observe Colorado State Fishing Regulations whenever you fish on the river. Private property also borders the Fraser River.
To reach the Fraser River you will need to first travel from Denver by train. Amtrak operates a route that connects Granby and Denver. The views alone are worth the train ticket. The Fraser River is an excellent place to fish for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and brown trout. These fish are wild and do not feed on humans. Even during peak fishing season, they are often overlooked. You will be rewarded with more fish in the valley than you would on the Fraser River.
Access
The first major tributary to the Colorado River, the Fraser River runs 32 miles from Berthoud Pass up to Granby. The river is wide and flat, with riffles and tailouts, as well as deep pools where you can catch fish up to twenty inches. You can either access the river via several roads or by hiking or biking along the Fraser River Trail through Cozens Ranch Open Space. The best method to fish the Fraser River is with dry flies and/or nymphs. Access points can be found in the Fraser River Fishing Brochure. Be respectful of private property close to fishing access points.
The best time to fish Fraser River is either after fall runoff or during spring runoff. You'll want to fish after these periods for BWO and big caddis. You'll also want to fish the river during spring and fall as the river is often high. But, even if the river is high in the spring or fall, you might be able to fish it with a different fly style than you think.
Tactics
Steelhead can also be taken on various lures like eggs, salmon, or plastic imitations. Live dew worms or plastic worms of different colours are also effective lures. Fly fishing is another popular option. However, steelhead can be harder to catch than salmon so anglers often use artificial lures. It is also more difficult to catch steelhead than salmon because of the low numbers in the Fraser River.
Neophyte anglers should not be taken in by the Fraser River's lures. You need to be sensitive to the local conditions so that your tactics are appropriate. One example is the Tidal Fraser section. It has numerous areas that are consistently home to fish year-round. The Fraser, like all rivers, is highly commercialized and you need to adapt to local conditions in order to succeed.
FAQ
What kind of fishing license do I need?
You must have a fishing licence if you want to fish in state waters (e.g. lakes, rivers, or bays). A valid fishing license is required by state law for anglers before they can fish. You must have a valid fishing license if you intend to fish in federal waters, such as the Great Lakes and oceans. Fishing licenses are not required if you plan to fish in federal waters. If you intend to bring any fish home, you should first verify with the local authorities that you aren't violating any laws.
How often should I change my lures?
Every few days, lures should be changed. After being exposed to the sun for too long, lures lose their effectiveness.
What is the average time it takes to become a professional fisherman?
Expert fishermanship takes practice over many years. Learning new techniques and improving your skills will help you become a more successful fisherman.
