We went Sturgeon fishing in the Fraser in early May 2011 with STS Guiding Service out of Mission. Our guide told us the best time of year is October, but the spring season is also pretty good. There were 4 of us with lines in the water, and in 6 hours (that's marina to marina, not 6 hours fishing) we caught 7 Sturgeon. The biggest one in the boat was about 5 1/2 feet. I caught the biggest one -about 7 feet, but he got caught in the lines before everyone could get them out of the water and we got him to the boat and cut the lines off and let him go. He fought for about 20 mins, I was SO tired! It was awesome, and we would like to go back in the fall sometime.
