Background
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!
Techniques
I love targeting Sturgeon on the Fraser River. Nothing beats it! It's like a Marlin and a Halibut combined. You catch them in the depths of the dark, murky river and they soar up to the surface at a million mph and jump sky high! You have to come see for yourself...
