I grew up fishing on the Fraser River and became a chemical and environmental engineer specializing in environmental forensic research, legislation development and law enforcement. Throughout my life, I have worked in environmental protection and enforcing our fisheries legislation. It is only natural to make my profession my hobby and I enjoy every day out on the water. The truth is that fishing for these 'Fraser River Marlin' as they are often called requires strength and stamina so it is always good to have others come out with me.
I work in support of the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation Society, and tagging and measuring these fish and recording their health makes my passengers 'Citizen Scientists' as they not only get a thrill of a lifetime but also help us collect the scientific data needed to manage this great fishery.
Sharing this experience with people who love to fish and respect our wild heritage is a great way to spend the day. I look forward to meeting you.

6 Hour Trip • 4 adultsWe have fished several places and diff species and this is one to remember. Peter has passion for his job, for the species and for teaching others that is infections. The knowledge he has and his efforts to improve the sport of fishing are admirable. Now for the fishing...the boat is well cared for with everything one needs in a cold wet day. The instruction was spot on, and we caught a lot of sturgeon. All of us got at least one and we loved learning the process of measuring, tagging and releasing. It was perfect. Felt like we learned a lot, had a blast, got to see the sights, a few seals, deer too....and we contributed to the data. TY Peter for a great time.

6 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Peter did not disappoint his extensive knowledge of the Sturgeon Fish the research we performed was something we’ve never experienced. We landed four fish. All fish were untagged so we got to tag, measure, named and release them. The Hail Mary at the end of the trip was one for the record books being able to get into the water next to the 6 foot 8 Surgeon Fish. This was a core memory that will never be forgotten by our kids nor ourselves.

6 Hour Trip • 2 adultsIt was a tough day with the sturgeon not cooperating, but Peter knows what he’s doing and tried everything to make the day successful. We still caught a few fish and had a good time. I wouldnt hestitate to book again if we are in the area.

The Sanchez's Battle Royal!
Jul 14, 2026 • North Vancouver
Joshua Jr. had it in his mind that to wrestle a dinosaur would be a great way to celebrate his graduation so he brought his family along for the experience! Hooking into this 6 ft 8 inch beast resulted in a tag team effort that lasted over an hour before we could check this untagged monster and register it as a new fish in our inventory.
Joshua Sr. started the day off with a special "Research Fish" which will help our inventory project to document the health of juvenile sturgeon survival.
Julianne took her turn to add to the juvenile inventory and the smile says it all
Jillian battled a nice 104 cm fish and demonstrated excellent style in managing the fight with this beauty!

When the Bite Comes On the Bite Comes ON
May 2, 2026 • North Vancouver
Bronwen and Darwin decided that while they had done other fishing and now a sturgeon trip was definitely on their Bucket List and it turned out to be quite a day for them. As predicted the early part was slow as the tides were not favourable but when the bite came on it really came on! The first three hours were only two fish but the last three hours were 9 more fish with 6 hitting in the last hour including what was the "Hail Mary Fish" which was likely the largest of the day but broke us off just as we were about to head into the dock. In total 11 fish hooked and 8 landed (we are required to use barbless hooks) with 4 "Newbys" or fish that had never been tagged before and were added to the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation Society inventory. Bronwen and Darwin wanted to get out of the city and into the fresh air and sunshine, maybe catch some sturgeon and they hit a grand slam on all fronts. A great day on the water!

They don't have these in South Africa!
Apr 8, 2026 • North Vancouver
Mathew called up, his dad, Theunis was visiting from South Africa and he wanted to fish in British Columbia and could we fit in a day sturgeon fishing. Turns out the pressure was on me as Theunis had made a bet with his wife that if he didn't finally catch a fish he would sell all his fishing gear! Well that just couldn't happen so we went to work and tested our gear. Mathew's comment while fighting the first fish, "I sit at a computer terminal all day, I don't use these muscles!!" Then we caught one where Theunis said, "This one is bigger and weighs more than my wife and I get to keep my fishing gear!". In the end we had about a dozen hookups, landed 10 and we tagged three newbies and had a great April day on the river.

What a great 7th Birthday Party!
Apr 6, 2026 • North Vancouver
Crystal called up and wondered if a sturgeon trip would be good for an "almost 7yr old" who was enthusiastic about fishing. Her son Zander told her, "It's OK mom if we don't catch a fish" She booked a four hour trip and the April fish did not disappoint! It was going to be his 7th birthday the next day and Zander and Mom got all the fish they could handle including a very nice "shore fish". We measured them all and tagged some new fish! Zander learned about sturgeon conservation, they both "tested their muscles" and Zander and Mom's day was "just perfect".

Sturgeon Fun and Education
Nov 11, 2025 • North Vancouver
Skyler, "We had an incredible experience contributing to the conservation and tagging of White Sturgeon on the Fraser River in Vancouver! We’re excited for the information we collected to be shared with FRSCS - Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society and to adopt the sturgeon “Bob”, named by the 30 kids who ran to us on shore. Thanks again, Peter Krahn P. Eng., for taking us!"
The November bite was on and half way through a 1.5 hr lunch break at a river side pub renewed energy and let arm muscles recover and then back onto the water for another 3 hours to end the day with 11 fish hooked and 9 landed! A great day was had by all.

Some nice Birthday Sturgeon
Nov 10, 2025 • North Vancouver
Ertug wanted to give his friend Armondo a birthday surprise while on a trip to take their sons to a hockey tournament in Victoria. So they landed in Vancouver and got on board for a four hour trip and the November bite came on strong and kept the time on the water interesting and active. I had warned them that there were some big fish around and that they should keep good posture and that their arms might feel it by the end.
And so it happened. The late October and mid November fish had been fattening up on salmon carcasses washing out from the tributary rivers after the spawn so the sturgeon have been well fed and the cooler water temperature meant they had plenty of zip when they took the bait. In the end, 7 fish in four hours was a day well spent on the water!
