Welcome to Wicks Fishing Adventures with Captain Dayton Wicklund—your Fraser Valley jet boat guide for bucket-list BC fishing! Guiding from a custom 19' Firefish jet boat built for shallow water, we fish the mighty lower Fraser, Harrison, Stave and Pitt systems year-round for trophy White Sturgeon—true prehistoric river dinosaurs that will test your strength. This is 100% catch-and-release with padded cradles, careful revival and trophy photos handled with respect.
Looking for hard-fighting BC salmon? We target Chinook, Coho, Chum and Pink salmon on the Fraser/Stave/Harrison rivers. Salmon are legally targeted and retained depending on run size and openings, plus sockeye when DFO opens it. Our most popular option is the combo: half-day salmon, half-day prehistoric White Sturgeon—best of both worlds in one epic day. Dedicated salmon charters during peak runs.
Our most popular fishery is our Upper Pitt and Lillooet trout adventure! Upper Pitt: Start at 5:45 AM with a thrilling 35-min jet boat ride to the north end of Pitt Lake. Trips run May 20-Aug 10 aboard a comfortable 19' jet boat for up to 3 guests, fully equipped with quality rods, reels & tackle. Lillooet River fly fishing departs from Harrison Hot Springs—fly fishing only for up to 4 anglers targeting Sea-Run Bull Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Dolly Varden & Rainbow Trout/Steelhead in stunning mountain wilderness few anglers ever see.
All trips include heavy rods, reels, tackle, bait, cooler/ice/water. Bring valid BC freshwater and/or tidal licenses, lunch, snacks, camera, polarized glasses & weather layers. Beginner & family-friendly, private charters only—no crowded boats. We fish rain or shine and tailor every day to your group. From 6/8 hour sturgeon charters and full day trout and salmon trips, we build your perfect BC day. Book today with Wicks Fishing Adventures—let's make memories and chase dinosaurs, chrome salmon and wild trout! See you on the water! Book your bucket-list BC trout adventure today!

A wonderful and memorable day
Upper Pitt River Fishing Adventure on August 4, 2026 • 2 adults

We explored many beautiful spots. We learned about the sport of fishing and the nature surrounding Pitt Lake. We caught some fish. We had an absolutely amazing experience. It was so great, I am planning on doing the exact same trip again.
