Yves, a great sturgeon fisherman guide, is available
If you're a seasoned angler, you've probably heard that the Fraser River is home to some of the largest freshwater fish in the world, including the massive White Sturgeon. This is the best place to fish for one of these massive fish if you're visiting Vancouver Canada. What is it that makes the Fraser River so special? Yves has a passion to guide anglers to where they can catch them.
Yves is a professional fishing guide who has over 15 years experience on the Fraser River. Since 2000, when the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society began tagging fish, Yves has tagged more fish than any other sturgeon guides. His personal best Fraser River Sturgeon is 344cm. He estimates that it weighs between 7 to 8 hundred pounds.
Regulations
Depending on where you fish, the regulations for fraser river fishing are different. All rainbow trout that you catch in the Headwaters area must be released. Two trout are allowed per person in the Fraser Canyon South area. Colorado State Fishing Regulations will be applied to all fishing on the river. The Fraser River also has private property.
The train route to Granby from Denver is required in order for you to reach Fraser River. Amtrak provides a route connecting Denver and Granby. The train ride is well worth the view! The Fraser River offers excellent fishing opportunities for brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout. These fish are wild, and they don't feed on humans. They are often ignored, even during peak fishing times. The valley below will reward you with much more fish than the Fraser River.
Access
The Fraser River is the main tributary to Colorado River. It runs for 32 miles, from Berthoud Pass to Granby. It is flat and wide with tailouts and riffles as well as deep swimming pools that can hold fish as large as twenty inches. You can access the river from several road turnouts, or you can hike or bike along the Fraser River Trail through Cozens Ranch Open Space. To fish the Fraser River, the best technique is to use dry flies and nymphs. Access points can be found in the Fraser River Fishing Brochure. Also, make sure to respect the private property near fishing access points.
The best time to fish Fraser River is either after fall runoff or during spring runoff. These times are ideal for large caddis and BWO. The river is typically high in the spring or fall so fish it at these times. You may have better luck fishing the river in fall if you use a different fly than you would expect.
Tactics
Steelhead can be taken on a variety of lures, such as salmon roe, eggs, and plastic imitations. Live dew worms or plastic worms of different colours are also effective lures. Fly fishing is also an option. Compared to salmon, however, steelhead are harder to catch, so many anglers use artificial lures. The Fraser River has a low number of steelhead, making it harder to catch them than salmon.
Neophyte anglers should not be taken in by the Fraser River's lures. It is possible to catch fish in some spots, but you need to adjust your techniques to suit the local conditions. For instance, the tidal Fraser section has several areas that consistently hold 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 should I wear while fishing?
Wear clothes that are waterproof. Sunscreen, gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen are all great options. You should also bring insect repellent.
To fish, do we need a pole?
Yes. You use a bobber to prevent the bait from moving when you are fishing. The bobber consists of two parts: the line and the float. Casting a lure requires that you attach the hook at the end of your line. Next, you need to cast the line out and let go. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.
What is the average time it takes to become a professional fisherman?
You will need years of experience to become an expert fisherman. Learning new techniques and improving your skills will help you become a more successful fisherman.
Statistics
- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
