    Great River Fishing Adventures

    Hope
    5+ external reviews

    The Fraser River upstream of Hope, BC is one of the most breathtaking piece of waters in Canada. Couple this with the opportunity to hook, and hopefully land, the largest freshwater fish in the world and you have the makings of the ultimate fishing experience. The Fraser Canyon is a far cry from the lower river. The water are untamed and flow through some of the most rugged terrain that BC has to offer. White Sturgeon are in good numbers and well above the average size often breaking 600 LBs!

Sturgeon fishing in Canada puts you face to face with ancient, hard‑fighting fish. These freshwater giants grow long, live for decades, and test your strength. Canada’s big rivers and lakes give them room to thrive, making this a true bucket‑list adventure.

Guides usually target Sturgeon by river fishing and bottom fishing. Heavy rods, strong leaders, and circle hooks keep fish safe during release. Baits with strong scent work well, such as cured roe or oily cut bait. In faster currents, anglers use sliding sinker rigs to hold bottom. When a Sturgeon taps, wait, then lift and reel steadily.

Most trips run from sturdy jet boats on wide rivers. Expect long, steady battles and powerful runs near the boat. This experience suits patient anglers, families with teens, and anyone who loves big game fish. Dress in layers, bring rain gear, sunscreen, and a camera. Your captain provides tackle and will guide careful handling for a quick, healthy release.

Top regions include British Columbia’s Fraser River system and other Lower Mainland rivers. The Great Lakes and their connecting waters hold strong Lake Sturgeon populations in Ontario. The St. Lawrence River and Ottawa River are classic eastern hotspots. Prairie rivers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba also offer solid action. These broad zones change with flows and seasons, so local knowledge matters.

Regulations are strict and vary by province and waterbody. Many areas require barbless hooks, measuring rules, and catch‑and‑release for larger fish. Check your fishing license, permits, season dates, and harvest rules before your trip. Your guide will explain current regulations and best practices for safe Sturgeon handling.

    Had a great time

    This was our first time sturgeon fishing and it didn’t disappoint. John is very knowledgeable and a great person, would highly recommend booking with him. John knows the river very well and had us on sturgeon within an hour. We got 12 total to the boat. No monsters but most were 4-6ft. Great day overall.

    Fantastic family friendly charter

    We had the most fantastic day out with Mark. We had our 4yo and 8yo with us and I was worried the 8 hour day would be too long but Mark keeps the pace going and has many options up his sleeve if needed e.g finding a place to stop and explore the beaches. In terms of the actual fishing... Amazing! The 7ft sturgeon was an experience we'll never forget.

    Frasier River Adventure

    Overall great experience! Went with family and kids enjoyed it, even though fishing was slow - but thats fishing! Still caught one 5’ Sturgeon and tonnes of pike minows which the kids enjoyed. Boat captain was awesome, extremely patient with the kids allowing them to help out as much as they wanted. Would highly recomment Johnny’s Sportfishing.

    Best fishing experience ever!

    The owner Jason and his guide Ryan were both great for communication and setting up the trip. We had gone in mid-June which can be slower for sturgeon. However our guide, Ryan, found us a couple of spots that landed us some massive sturgeon. Each sturgeon was a battle and so much fun bringing them in. An unbelievable and exciting experience, with lots of action. Highly recommend!
