STS Update for Apr 27, 2010

STS Guiding Spring Update

Fishing for sturgeon has been excellent so far this Spring. We are averaging 10 to 15 fish per trip with some very nice fish being landed. Our largest this week has been 7 ft 6 inches which gave us an incredible battle. The last few days we have seen some larger fish move into the lower river so fishing has been spectacular. Yesterday we had landed 5 fish over 5 ft in the first 2 hours with 2 of them over 6ft. We expect fishing to only improve over the next few weeks so it's definitely not too late to book your spring trip. If your looking for a Fall trip and want to join us during some of the best fishing of the season, don't wait as September and October are getting very busy.

June is approaching fast so we are getting excited about our Pitt River fishery. This trip is truly a trip of a lifetime. See below for more information on the Upper Pitt.

The 2010 salmon season forecast is looking pretty good considering the dismal sockeye returns of 2009. Believe it or not, fisheries are saying that there is a good chance that the last summer run of sockeye is going to be large and we could see a sport fishing opening in Mid August. We will accept bookings based on this opening, we can always target Chinook Salmon as well. Speaking of Chinook Salmon, the summer run that enters the river in late July is looking strong so there is a very good chance we could see some excellent salmon fishing in Mid August. Once this begins we will continue to fish both salmon and sturgeon from August through to November.

Fly-fishing for Sea Run Bull Trout

The Upper Pitt River offers some of the best fly and spin fishing opportunities for sea- run trout found anywhere in British Columbia. This remote river is located only 45 minutes from Mission so you can do day trips or overnight stays.

Each high tide brings a fresh run of fish into the lower reaches of the Upper Pitt River. We begin targeting this bright chrome fish in mid May with fantastic fishing opportunities through June until mid to late July. Some of the best fishing occurs between May 21 to Jun 31. These fish reach as much as 14 lbs with an average size of 4 to 8 lbs. incredible action on the fly and light spinning tackle.

We are now booking for our May - June 2010 Sea-run Bull Trout Fishery. This trip is limited to 2 boats per day so book now for best dates.
Regular rate - $750 for 2 anglers
Spring Special Rate - $650 for 2 anglers
