Trip Summary
October and November is when the Fraser River white sturgeon fatten up on salmon carcasses to bulk up for the winter. While the air temperatures are lower the cabin heater provides a warm and comfortable spot to watch the rod tips. This week was a great time on the water as the high tide approached the bite came on with up to three rods bouncing at one time. Sometimes we had one rod in each hand to determine which bite to set the hook on. A problem every angler has to solve. In the end, 9 fish were landed, tagged and checked for health and injuries and then released. So a good batch of data was collected to support the Fraser River White Sturgeon Conservation program.
Fishing will continue into mid to late January and then slow up in February as water temperatures are at the lowest and the bite gets sluggish. However when the bait fish start migrating up the Fraser in March to Mid May the sturgeon fishery will turn on fire again with April the premier month. Stay tune for more updates.
