First experience with sturgeon
Thought I'd share a few photos and thoughts about our first time experiencing Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River. My fiancé, buddy, and I travelled out to Chilliwack the third week of April to scratch Sturgeon off our bucket lists. Wow... Like nothing else I've ever experienced! 11 fish brought in over two days with the smallest being 5.5', and several over 7'. The largest was caught by my 115 lb fiancé. She reeled it in completely by herself. It measured 8' and was pushing 300 lbs! I can't say enough about the entire experience. The guide was great (Yves from Sturgeon Slayers), the weather was hovering around 30 degrees, we only saw one other boat, and what else can some hicks from Alberta do while waiting for opening day in our province? If you enjoy fishing, you owe it to yourself to experience what these fish are like. It's a world class fishery right here in Canada.
