The Fraser River holds many amazing fishing spots and River Wrangler Sportfishing knows about all of them! Based in Abbotsford, BC, Captain Brandyn has been fishing in the area his whole life. Still passionate as on his first day, he runs fishing trips year round. Choose what you want to catch and join him on a trip of a lifetime!

You'll be fishing from a custom made 22' jet boat. The boat accommodates up to four anglers, including kids. She can reach the speed of 55 knots, thanks to the powerful 600 HP Chevrolet engine. This will let you change your fishing spots smoothly and without losing too much time. There's navigational electronics to find the fish easily and a cooler.

The star of the show in the Fraser River is Sturgeon. You can go after this dinosaur fish any time of year but the best times are between March and November. They are heavy and hard-fighting, so landing one of these is an accomplishment to be proud of! You can also target several types of Salmon. You'll usually use jigging, spinning, or bottom fishing to catch them. Up for a challenge? Catch them on a fly!

The captain will fully cover your fishing equipment and clean the fish you're allowed to keep. You'll need to purchase your fishing license, which is about $25. Bring some snacks and drinks, wear proper clothing, and you're ready to go!

Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser river is exciting enough on its own but with River Wrangler Sportfishing – it gets even better!

    Great experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 9, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our boat was top notch and looked like the best boat out of all the outfitters. The captain was very helpful and was great to talk to while fishing. Even when our time was up he suggested 15 minutes more fishing if we wanted and we caught another fish! I would definitely recommend fish wranglers to anyone wanting a great day fishing.

    Full day out on the Fraser River B.C

    Sturgeon Trip on June 15, 2019

    Going out on the River Wrangler Boat was a great experience for me and my wife Meagan. To be able to see the prehistoric Sturgeon was beyond amazing. With little to no fishing experience Brandyn was able to guide us on what to do to maximize our experience. Enjoying laughs with the crew the whole time we could of not asked for a better experience. Highly suggest!

I grew up fishing and decided to turn my passion into a profession. River Wrangler Sportfishing gives me the opportunity to do what I love the most every day! I prefer spoon fishing or float fishing for Salmon under a sensitive rod for a great fight! And for Sturgeon, I prefer a nice heavy rod with 150 lb braid for those monster Sturgeon!
