North Vancouver's Fraser Legends Fishing has its very own motto: 'Create your own legend.' What could be more legendary than catching your very own Sturgeon? Even better, you'll be able to reach your own personal world record and help conserve this incredible prehistoric fish at the same time.

The man behind your trip, Captain Peter Krahn, is a staunch supporter of the Sturgeon Conservation Society. He's an official Sturgeon-tagger, and this respect for these creatures is at the center of the adventures he offers on board his charter.

When you embark on your trip with Capt. Peter, you'll help with tagging, measuring, and checking the health of these magnificent fish before releasing them back into one of the mighty rivers – Fraser, Pitt, and Harrison. These fish are pretty acrobatic, so expect to witness some impressive leaps out of the water!

You'll get to submit the information you gather on your fish to the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation Society for cataloging and registration of information. If you're the first person to catch and tag a specific fish, your name will be registered as the original angler. You'll be part of this fish's history!

You'll be fishing from your captain's 19' KingFisher jet boat, built to cruise these freshwater fishing grounds. She's decked out with all the necessary safety and navigational gear and can accommodate up to 4 guests. Sometimes there are periods of waiting for the fish to bite, so children should be 12 years or older to join in on the fun.

Family Learn to Fish/Picnic Option or Hard Core Sturgeon Fishing Family Learn to Fish/Picnic Option: In the Family Learn to Fish/Picnic option, families with young children (3 to 10 years old) can fish for sturgeon, (usually 1 or 2 hours) and then learn to fish for smaller species and if they pack a picnic lunch or pick a lunch up at a local shoreside bistro can combine fishing with a shoreside picnic. The picnic sites are either a small sandy beach or a campground with picn

    What a cool experience!

    6 Hour Trip on July 17, 2026 • 4 adults

    We have fished several places and diff species and this is one to remember. Peter has passion for his job, for the species and for teaching others that is infections. The knowledge he has and his efforts to improve the sport of fishing are admirable. Now for the fishing...the boat is well cared for with everything one needs in a cold wet day. The instruction was spot on, and we caught a lot of sturgeon. All of us got at least one and we loved learning the process of measuring, tagging and releasing. It was perfect. Felt like we learned a lot, had a blast, got to see the sights, a few seals, deer too....and we contributed to the data. TY Peter for a great time.

    Best trip ever

    6 Hour Trip on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Peter did not disappoint his extensive knowledge of the Sturgeon Fish the research we performed was something we’ve never experienced. We landed four fish. All fish were untagged so we got to tag, measure, named and release them. The Hail Mary at the end of the trip was one for the record books being able to get into the water next to the 6 foot 8 Surgeon Fish. This was a core memory that will never be forgotten by our kids nor ourselves.

    Wow what a fish

    6 Hour Trip on August 6, 2025 • 2 adults

    Peter the skipper is a very passionate and knowledgeable man about Sturgeon. This trip was not just about catching a fish,it was an education into the river,the eco system and the importance of balance. On the day the fish were being hard to locate. After a couple of list fish due to hook pulls we had a series of missed bites. Peter kept our spirits up and tried different spits to get us a fish on the boat. With little time left we had one more bite. This fish tore off and breached the water. This fish was not getting on the boat, it was too big! Peter calmly gave us instructionswhile he manovered the boat to shore. We safely landed the fish, quickly measuring and checking for a tag before a quick photo and a safe realease. At 177cm long (5ft 9) it was a big fish. There are bigger ones out there and can't wait to have another go. I would highly recommend this skipper. If you are thinking of having a go, stop thinking and just do it.

    Absolutely amazing day with Peter! 11 sturgeon for the day, lots of fun memories made!

    6 Hour Trip on March 21, 2025 • 4 adults

    Such a wonderful experience with Peter! From the minute we booked with him, he was so helpful with communicating things to make the planning process a breeze! We met him at the dock at 7 am and headed out to our spot, we decided to bring some snacks and a couple drinks. Peter had waters for us and offered some goodies as well. Learned so much on the fishery around the area and even got to help with the Sturgeon conservation with learning how to tag and track data. There were a total of 4 adults that went on this trip and we all had so much fun. Such a neat experience catching Sturgeon for the first time. Hope to come to the area in the future and fish with Peter again! Thank you for such a great day to end our trip here in Canada!

    An experience like none other

    6 Hour Trip on December 10, 2024 • 2 adults

    My girlfriend and I booked this trip during an early December vacation to the area. We weren't sure what to expect but what happened that day surely blew away our expectations. We ended up landing 8 fish ranging from small to big with over half needing to be tagged to help with research. The actual fishing portion was like nothing I have done in terms of feel and fight. Peter Krahn is a magnificent captain and person to help coach you through that experience and his large, vast knowledge from his background was very informative and interesting. The thorough knowledge he has to tag and study these fish always kept an interesting conversation going and he always knew how to crack a smile from time to time in between. A full 10/10 experience without question.

    Amazing Experience

    6 Hour Trip on November 13, 2024 • 2 adults

    Even before fishing, the captain was attentive and guided us regarding the fishing license, clothing, followed the weather forecast, so that we could have the best experience. On the day of fishing he was very punctual and friendly throughout the day. He showed a lot of commitment to make our fishing experience as pleasant as possible! Captain Peter is a very kind, attentive and respectful person. He cares a lot about nature! We had the best possible experience and we still fished the sturgen! Thank you captain, and we'll be back as soon as possible!!

    Unique, informative, and enjoyable

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 16, 2024 • 3 adults

    Our family of 3 booked this fishing charter the morning before we got on a cruise ship. Peter was fantastic from the moment we booked. His communication was great and we had a game plan for the morning. Peter is a fascinating research scientist and a wealth of information. We really enjoyed hearing about his vast knowledge of the rivers and fish in the area. Our 14 year old son really enjoyed not only catching the sturgeon, but also tagging and measuring the fish. It made for a truly unique experience. We highly recommend spending a day with Peter on the water.

    Great time with a great guide.

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 16, 2025 • 2 adults

    Had a blast out there with Peter. Due to tide changes the fishing was slow at first, but Peter went out of his way to extend the trip well past the initial 4 hour booking in order to get on some fish for no extra charge. Would definitely book again. Was a cool experience scanning the fish for microchips as well as documenting the fish information.

    Best Fishing Charter We've taken.

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 20, 2025 • 3 adults

    Absolutely the best charter we've taken. Peter was amazing and so knowledgeable about the river and the fish. it was a ton of fun scanning the 3 fish we caught for a microchip and then measuring them and checking for any damage to the fish. Would 100 percent recomend this charter to anyone looking to go sturgeon fishing.

I grew up fishing on the Fraser River and became a chemical and environmental engineer specializing in environmental forensic research, legislation development and law enforcement. Throughout my life, I have worked in environmental protection and enforcing our fisheries legislation. It is only natural to make my profession my hobby and I enjoy every day out on the water. The truth is that fishing for these 'Fraser River Marlin' as they are often called requires strength and stamina so it is always good to have others come out with me. I work in support of the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation Society, and tagging and measuring these fish and recording their health makes my passengers 'Citizen Scientists' as they not only get a thrill of a lifetime but also help us collect the scientific data needed to manage this great fishery. Sharing this experience with people who love to fish and respect our wild heritage is a great way to spend the day. I look forward to meeting you.

    Joshua Jr. had it in his mind that to wrestle a dinosaur would be a great way to celebrate his graduation so he brought his family along for the experience! Hooking into this 6 ft 8 inch beast resulted in a tag team effort that lasted over an hour before we could check this untagged monster and register it as a new fish in our inventory. Joshua Sr. started the day off with a special "Research Fish" which will help our inventory project to document the health of juvenile sturgeon survival. Julianne took her turn to add to the juvenile inventory and the smile says it all Jillian battled a nice 104 cm fish and demonstrated excellent style in managing the fight with this beauty!

    Bronwen and Darwin decided that while they had done other fishing and now a sturgeon trip was definitely on their Bucket List and it turned out to be quite a day for them. As predicted the early part was slow as the tides were not favourable but when the bite came on it really came on! The first three hours were only two fish but the last three hours were 9 more fish with 6 hitting in the last hour including what was the "Hail Mary Fish" which was likely the largest of the day but broke us off just as we were about to head into the dock. In total 11 fish hooked and 8 landed (we are required to use barbless hooks) with 4 "Newbys" or fish that had never been tagged before and were added to the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation Society inventory. Bronwen and Darwin wanted to get out of the city and into the fresh air and sunshine, maybe catch some sturgeon and they hit a grand slam on all fronts. A great day on the water!
  • Angler proudly displaying a large Sturgeon while wading in the water near a fishing boat, showcasing a successful catch during a river fishing trip.
    Mathew called up, his dad, Theunis was visiting from South Africa and he wanted to fish in British Columbia and could we fit in a day sturgeon fishing. Turns out the pressure was on me as Theunis had made a bet with his wife that if he didn't finally catch a fish he would sell all his fishing gear! Well that just couldn't happen so we went to work and tested our gear. Mathew's comment while fighting the first fish, "I sit at a computer terminal all day, I don't use these muscles!!" Then we caught one where Theunis said, "This one is bigger and weighs more than my wife and I get to keep my fishing gear!". In the end we had about a dozen hookups, landed 10 and we tagged three newbies and had a great April day on the river.
  • Adult and child anglers hold a large sturgeon in the water beside a covered fishing boat, with snowy mountains in the background.
    Crystal called up and wondered if a sturgeon trip would be good for an "almost 7yr old" who was enthusiastic about fishing. Her son Zander told her, "It's OK mom if we don't catch a fish" She booked a four hour trip and the April fish did not disappoint! It was going to be his 7th birthday the next day and Zander and Mom got all the fish they could handle including a very nice "shore fish". We measured them all and tagged some new fish! Zander learned about sturgeon conservation, they both "tested their muscles" and Zander and Mom's day was "just perfect".
  • Three anglers proudly displaying a large Sturgeon in shallow water, surrounded by autumn foliage, showcasing a successful fishing trip.
    Skyler, "We had an incredible experience contributing to the conservation and tagging of White Sturgeon on the Fraser River in Vancouver! We’re excited for the information we collected to be shared with FRSCS - Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society and to adopt the sturgeon “Bob”, named by the 30 kids who ran to us on shore. Thanks again, Peter Krahn P. Eng., for taking us!" The November bite was on and half way through a 1.5 hr lunch break at a river side pub renewed energy and let arm muscles recover and then back onto the water for another 3 hours to end the day with 11 fish hooked and 9 landed! A great day was had by all.
  • Two anglers carefully handling a large Sturgeon in shallow water, showcasing their catch during a river fishing trip.
    Ertug wanted to give his friend Armondo a birthday surprise while on a trip to take their sons to a hockey tournament in Victoria. So they landed in Vancouver and got on board for a four hour trip and the November bite came on strong and kept the time on the water interesting and active. I had warned them that there were some big fish around and that they should keep good posture and that their arms might feel it by the end. And so it happened. The late October and mid November fish had been fattening up on salmon carcasses washing out from the tributary rivers after the spawn so the sturgeon have been well fed and the cooler water temperature meant they had plenty of zip when they took the bait. In the end, 7 fish in four hours was a day well spent on the water!
  • Family group posing aboard a covered fishing boat while holding a large sturgeon, with rods and a bridge visible in the background.
    Bonny asked if I could take her husband Mike, their three sons and her on a Saturday sturgeon trip and they were eager to get on the water when the day arrived. The boys ranged from 4 1/8 to 9 years old and it was a perfect time for a family get together as the boys were keen anglers having pursued pink salmon and now wanting to up their game to sturgeon. The day began with some nice sized starter fish to get everyone going, including this double header. Bonny celebrated catching her own fish which didn't have a tag so she could tag it and claim to be the first person to have recorded its capture and release. The sizes picked up and they were on to a great day of sturgeon fishing. All this hard work creates an appetite and we broke out the on board barbecue and cooked up some bratwurst on buns to keep everyone's energy going. Mom took the younger brother home and the two older boys stayed on with dad to get the biggest fish of the day and claim the perpetual "Sturgeon Polka Trophy"! In other words, fun was had by all! The ride home was surprisingly quiet!
