Thanks to Jeff yet again for a great trip despite the waters being so difficult with debris. Nobody ties into the BIG FISH like Jeff can!! We have been with him on 2 trips and caught 31 sturgeon. 2 of which were over 7 feet in length. Great River Fishing is a Pro guiding company and I look forward to... More

Having been a guide in fresh and saltwater, I have caught pretty much everything that swims in this province....except a Sturgeon. I received a Surgeon trip as a Christmas gift from my wife, so decided to bring my two sons along for the experience. I have to say I was most impressed with our guide Dean, he has a real... More

This is my second trip Sturgeon Fishing with Great River Fishing Adventures and with a coupled of good friends. First time I didn't know what to expect however we caught 13 Sturgeon in 8 hrs and the second time we caught 6 in a little less time. Fantastic Guides and Very Strong Fish. Thank you Dean!

Thank You Dean for a Excellent Day of Sturgeon fishing. We caught 6 Sturgeon, with the largest being over 170 lbs. This is one sport that is truly amazing and look forward to my next Sturgeon experience. Glenn

Hi Glen, So nice to have you out again as a repeat client, it never seems to get boring when these fish keeping jumping and giving it their all. Seeing the amount of untagged Sturgeon is still very impressive. Thank goodness Art's second fish of the day allowed him to wear the belt cause I am not sure he would... More

This fishing trip has been on my bucket list for a long time. My friends went on a tour with Great River a few years ago and raved about the wonderful experience, so they were happy to go along again with me. It was a beautiful day on the water and the scenery along the Fraser River is awesome. Our... More

Hi Art, It was areal pleasure to have you, Brian and Glen out with me to experience what Sturgeon fishing is all about. This was a day I won't forget soon and still cannot believe that 7 foot fish jumped 15 times, these fish never cease to keep amazing me and the others that come to visit. Hope to have... More

My son and i booked a 4 hour sturgeon fishing trip on May 4th. We are both avid fishermen, but this was our first sturgeon outing. Our guide, Ben, checked our licenses, gave us instructions on boat safety, life vests, and the fundamentals of fishing for these giant creatures. Fishing was rather slow that day due to the sudden increase... More

Although I've wanted to partake in this adventure for a number of years, the "Group On" deal wooed me at last. This organization is top notch!

We spent a great day with Ben last week. We were all avid fly-fisherman but had never tried spey casting. Within an hour Ben had us all casting well (not perfectly). He constantly helped us improve throuought the session. My only complaint is that I now need a spey rod! Great day out.
