Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Welcome to Kilby Lodge, where dinosaurs are free to swim in the mighty Fraser River! Located in British Columbia's scenic Fraser Valley, this place is internationally recognized as the No. 1 location for Sturgeon and Salmon fishing in the world. The lodge is located on the Harrison River, just 1 km above where the Harrison River meets the Fraser.
Captain Robert runs Sturgeon fishing trips year-round and he knows all the good places to properly anchor and catch the fish. Salmon season is in the fall and there are 5 types of Salmon you could catch – Coho, Chinook, Sockeye, Chum, and Pink. If you're an avid fly fisherman with your own fly fishing gear, you can target Salmon from the banks as well.
You'll be fishing aboard a 22' Thunder Jet boat. This boat accommodates up to 4 anglers and everybody can fish at the same time. She's equipped with Hummingbird navigational equipment and safety gear. There's no minimum age policy and children of all ages are welcome. However, the captain provides life vests for everybody starting from the age of 7, so for younger children, parents should bring their own.
Pickup can be done from Abbotsford airport, which is a 2,5-hour ride and it costs $100. Some expenses depend on whether you're staying at the lodge or not. For example, your fishing license is covered if you're a guest and you also have kayaks free of charge as an additional activity. Meals and snacks are charged extra.
You can request a customized trip that fits your needs, so contact the captain if you're staying at the lodge. The lodge includes a fireplace, a swimming pool, and bedrooms with a private bathroom. Multiday trips are available where you would spend 8-9 hour of fishing per day. You can spend the rest of the day kayaking, or hiking through nature and looking for hidden waterfalls in the area.
Enjoy fishing, kayaking, and swimming with sandy beaches and boat launch steps away from your front door. Book your spot in the Kilby Lodge today!

Brian TresnakRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGood day fishing
Half Day Trip – Sturgeon (PM) on September 14, 2026 • 5 adultsWe caught two sturgeon. Both over 7ft long. Captain Robert did a great job of putting us on fish! We truly enjoyed the trip.
James GluckRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Catch
Full Day Trip – Sturgeon on August 16, 2026 • 5 adultsCaught a nice 7 footer great experience. Also good company highly recommended!
Tony KingRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic Trip!
Half Day Trip – Salmon/Sturgeon on September 21, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childRob was a fantastic guide and probably the best guide I've fished with to date, and that's saying something. Rob’s Lodge is nestled in a perfect location along the Harris River, making it just a short ride to the fishing grounds. My twelve y/o son and I fished with Rob for 4 hours and boated two behemoths, Sturgeon! Rob was very patient with my son and coached him through the reeling process, all the way to landing the fish. Simple and plain, this guide knows his stuff and is by far the best choice (imo) fishing for big Sturgeon. We will definitely be back to fish with Rob in the future! Thanks for the fantastic memories Rob!
Michael Desmarais5.0VerifiedFull day of fishing with Captain Robert!
Full Day Trip – Salmon/Sturgeon on September 8, 2023 • 4 adultsRobert is very professional. He was fantastic in helping us catch many sturgeons. We caught a 10 footer, two 8 footers and two 7 footers in one day. The only reason we were successful was captain Robert knew where to find the sturgeon, the right bait to use and most importantly how to catch them. He was the best fishing guide I have ever used. The boat and equipment we used was good and the cabin we stayed at was nice. The cabin is located where you launch the boat which made it handy. In my opinion Kilby Lodge and Fishing is the best sturgeon fishing guide and lodging option on the Fraser river.

Half Day Trip – Salmon/Sturgeon on August 25, 2021 • 1 adultAmazing day and a once in a lifetime fish! Captain Robert didn’t give up and just minutes before we were to call it a day, we hooked a huge fish. Captain continually checked on me during the 90 minute fight asking how I was doing and was so encouraging and such a professional at maneuvering the boat as needed during the fight back and forth on the River. He told me that patience would pay off and it certainly did with this monster! Highly recommend, cannot say enough good things about Captain Robert!

Trent Omand5.0VerifiedGreat Day of fishing!
Half Day Trip – Salmon/Sturgeon on August 7, 2021 • 4 adultsHad a great time fishing today with Capt. Robert despite the rain. We managed to land our 1st fish of the day in less then an hour under the guidance of Capt. Robert and checked off one of my dad's bucket list items. We landed a smaller one as well as two that managed to escape, we had a fantastic time for our 1st ever sturgeon fishing trip,and will for sure be going out with the Capt.again in the future.

Full Day Trip – Sturgeon on August 5, 2022 • 3 adultsAmazing trip! Captain was super informative and gave great guidance. Would certainly book with Robert again. We hooked seven Sturgeons in total and brought four to shore for some fantastic shots.
John Archibald5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with Captain Robert Wozniakiewicz
Half Day Trip – Sturgeon (PM) on July 20, 2021 • 4 adultsCaptain Robert was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and polite. The boat was nice, well equipped and a good size. I had my grandson from Quebec fishing and he got the 1st sturgeon which was 7’11”. Then right near the end of our day, my son from Quebec caught the second Sturgeon which was 7’5”. We had a great day and would highly recommend Kilby Lodge to anyone.
