Sockeye fishing in British Columbia is fast becoming one of the most popular sport fish in freshwater. The Fraser River hosts the largest sockeye migration anywhere in the world, on a high yield year over 30 million salmon will swim the Fraser to their spawning grounds. These fish are fresh from the ocean and are Chrome silver.

Sockeye begin their annual migration in early June and continue through until mid September. There are several distinct runs of fish that we target, early Stewart River Sockeye, Weaver Creek Sockeye on the Harrison River, and the late summer, Adams River Sockeye. Some of the best action is early August through to September. Because of the shear quantity of fish many methods work well, Bottom bouncing with corkies and yarn and flyfishing are the two most popular. Checkout our photo gallery for some great pictures of sockeye fishing on the Fraser.

August is one of the more popular months for anglers of all types including families. There is plenty of fish, the weather is great and there are many summer activities for visitors to enjoy. Popular activities range from hiking, biking, canoeing, whitewater rafting, swimming at Harrison Lake or just laying around the lodge. This fishery is suitable for all ages and abilities and makes for great company derbies or corporate retreats.
