Chum fishing in British Columbia was once considered a commercial fishery, but as more people started sport fishing for them, anglers soon realized that chum are one of the hardest fighting fish there is pound for pound. We fish for Chum with spinners, float fish, and fly fishing for these brutes.

The Harrison, Vedder, Chehalis and Stave Rivers are well known for their large numbers of Chum. We mainly fly fish for Chum on the Stave River and use all three methods on the Harrison, Vedder and Chehalis.
