Sturgeon fishing will likley pick up in the coming few weeks. Sturgoen fisherman should be anticipating freshet as well as the eulachon run. Sturgeon numbers will likely be increasing in the Tidal (Saltwater) portion of the Fraser as they will be attempting to intercept the eulachons. Fishing will only get better throughout the river from now on.
While not everyone can fish Sturgeon, there is also the great Cutthroat fishing to be had in the Non-Tidal (Freshwater) portion of the river throughout the back channels, back eddies, slack water, and mouths of any tributary rivers. Try small silver spoons (silver or redhead Dick Nites) and as for flies try sculpin, fry, and woolly bugger patterns.
