Chilliwack, British Columbia, stands as a world-renowned angling paradise nestled in the Fraser Valley. Celebrated globally for its exceptional sturgeon and salmon fisheries, the region offers thrilling year-round opportunities across diverse waterways. The Fraser River—home to monumental white sturgeon exceeding 1,000 pounds—delivers heart-pounding catch-and-release battles, while the Chilliwack/Vedder River hosts prolific runs of all five Pacific salmon species: Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Chum, and Pink.
Beyond these giants, Chilliwack's waters teem with rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, steelhead, and bull trout. Winter transforms the lakes—Cultus, Chilliwack, and Lindeman—into prime trout habitats, ensuring angling excitement in every season. Whether targeting acrobatic salmon in fall or pursuing stealthy steelhead in spring, Chilliwack's dynamic ecosystems cater to all skill levels.
