You can enjoy a breathtaking environment and fresh salmon and trout by visiting the Fraser River. The Fraser River is a wild fishery. Its size averages between 12-15inches and some species can exceed 20inches. The Fraser River consists mainly of Browns. It also has approximately 29% Rainbows (and 1% Brook Trout). The diversity of these fish in this region make for a truly enjoyable fishing trip.
Yves, a great sturgeon fisherman guide, is available
You're likely to have heard by seasoned anglers that the Fraser River houses some of the most massive freshwater fish in the entire world, including the White Sturgeon. This is the perfect place to catch these giants if you are in Vancouver Canada. But what's so special about the Fraser River? Yves is passionate about guiding anglers to the best places to catch them.
Yves has more than 15 years experience as a professional guide on the Fraser River. He has tagged more fish since 2000 when the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society began to tag their fish. He estimates that the Fraser River Sturgeon can weigh between seven and eight hundred lbs. This is his personal best.
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. 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 is also bounded by private property.
The train route to Granby from Denver is required in order for you to reach Fraser River. Amtrak offers a route from Denver through Granby. The views alone are worth the train ticket. The Fraser River is a wonderful place to fish rainbow trout, cutthroat and brown trout. These fish are wild and do not feed on humans. They are often overlooked, even during peak fishing seasons. 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. There are riffles and trailouts as you can catch fish as big as twenty inches. There are several ways to access the river. You can also bike or hike along the Fraser River Trail through Cozens Ranch Open Space. Dry flies, nymphs and dry flies are the best methods to fish for the Fraser River. You can find access points in the Fraser River Fishing brochure. Respect private property located near access points for fishing.
Fishing the Fraser River at its best is after late fall and spring runoff. You'll want to fish after these periods for BWO and big caddis. 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. Also, live dew worms and plastics worms of various colours can be used as lures. Fly fishing can also be a popular choice. Steelhead are more difficult to catch than salmon. Many anglers resort to artificial lures to help them. Aside from the fact that there are fewer steelhead in Fraser River, it is more difficult than catching salmon to find them.
Neophyte anglers should not be taken in by the Fraser River's lures. Although some spots can produce large numbers of fish every year, it is important to adapt to local conditions and adjust your fishing tactics accordingly. For instance, the tidal Fraser section has several areas that consistently hold fish year-round. The Fraser River is commercially important, so it is essential to adjust to the local environment to ensure success.

How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod is designed to allow you to make casts from any position while still maintaining control of your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle is where you hold the rod and grip the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. The reel seat is where the line is attached to the reel. There are many types of rods today. Some rods can only be used for trolling and casting. Others are intended to be used for different purposes, such fly fishing or spin fishing, as well as bait fishing.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. For smaller species, like salmon and trout, a lighter-weight rod might be better. You could even consider buying multiple rod sizes, depending on how large the fish you are trying to catch.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners often have a longer rod but a smaller diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. You will need to purchase one on its own. They are also quite costly. If you love catching bigger fish, then a spinning rod may be something to consider.
A spin fishing method is when a fisherman uses his spinning rod to cast a weighted lure in the water. When the lure is in the water, it will spin around the weighted central point. This causes the lure's motion to be unpredictable in the water and makes it difficult for fishes to see. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The line attached to the lure can be reeled in by the fisherman. After the lure is retrieved, the fisherman can continue the process until he has caught the desired number.
