If fishing in Chilliwack is on your bucket list, look no further than Big Valley Sportfishing Adventures. Your guide for the day is Captain Mark, giving you access to years of local experience.

Species like Sturgeon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Chum Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. During the trip, you might be fishing with heavy tackle, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Big Valley Sportfishing Adventures welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

Your vessel for the day is a 24’ North River jet boat with space for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Mark will provide rods and reels for you.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    These trips are by far the most popular. A good solid day on the water , plenty of time for travel and shore time if needed. There is enough time to target a second species after checking off the first ones from the list.
