Matt Fishing Co.

Let’s get you hooked up with Matt Fishing Co. on the Fraser River in Mission B.C Canada. It’s never a dull moment on the water with Matt! From laughing to hooking up on river monsters you’ll be guaranteed to be sore!

Matt is one of the youngest guides on the river and is always eager to put you on the fish. Growing up in Mission, he knows these waters like the back of his hand and will ensure you some quality fish to the boat.

Sturgeon are the main focus but depending on the season, Salmon can be abundant in local rivers.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own.

Your adventure begins aboard a 22’ Custom Weld jet boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Industry leading rods, reels and line are the only gear you will be equipped with on Matt’s boat. Brands such as Shimano, Daiwa, and Powerpro are essential for landing the fish of your dreams along with Yeti to make sure you can have a ice cold refreshment after your battle!

You will need to get 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, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Matt Fishing Co!

Your captain

Matt Dirksen
Mission, British Columbia, Canada
Hi, I'm your Captain Matt Dirksen! I have grown up on the banks of the Fraser River. My love for fishing began at a young age catching suckers off the dock with my Uncle. In later years my parents knew I was hooked on fishing and bought me my very first fly rod! From here on out my passion turned to an addiction... No piece of water stood a chance when I was near. After years of practice I made the Canadian Youth National Fly Fishing Team. I was fortunate enough to represent Canada at numerous fly fishing world championships across the globe. My childhood bedroom soon became a tackle store. Filled with all sorts of gear and sponsors sending me the latest greatest equipment. Once I graduated high school I had the opportunity to become a fishing guide. I started in 2017 and have guided all across B.C for multiple species and techniques. My heart belongs to the Fraser River where I have been catching sturgeon since the age of 10. I was caught skipping school on multiple occasions but for all the right reasons... To this day there is no place I would rather be then out on the river fishing the best place on earth! So come sit back, Relax, and enjoy an action packed day on the water with me!
