I fished around Chilliwack in the Vedder for the salmon each morning Mack, but we stayed in an airbnb and launched my own boat at Mission Bridge, a couple of miles down the road. I have been taking my own boats there for the last 10 yrs and never used a guide, the launches around Chilliwack are not great for a boat with a prop like mine (fine for a jet boat though). Also the Fraser above Chilliwack gets proper shallow and the banks / gravel-bars change every year, below Chilliwack it is deeper and the gravel-bars dont move much.

They scrap ok in the river, did my fair share of carp fishing when in the uk and reckon pound for pound carp fight slightly better usually. These are lake sturgeon, slightly different species to the white sturgeon in the Fraser / Columbia rivers, and these only go to about 6ft / 75lb. Even though they are called lake sturgeon we only get them here in rivers. They can be almost hollow early on in the spring when you get them, length and width / girth is similar there belly almost goes to the backbone when you pick them up. This time of year they are usually pretty full / heavy for there size. I

My eldest lads the same DC, claims he's a better angler than me and he only fcks up when I am watching him . He has turned into a decent angler to be fair and he started driving this year so is hitting it pretty hard.

3987 miles according to Google maps, North Wales to Alberta

Awesome trip pal any idea on length/ weight?

Well done getting out, that's a great result for your first nights netting

Yep hopefully pal
