Fishing from shore is best accomplished with a long rod (10-14 ft) and a good casting reel. Typically, shorter rods (7-8 ft) are used when fishing from a boat. Favoured line test in the canyons is 150-200 lbs of super braid with 6/0-9/0 hooks. The most success occurs when you fish the top/middle/bottom of a hole. Baits of choice are roe (salmon eggs) or dew worms. NOTE: In this section of river finfish are illegal and cannot be used.
The mighty White Sturgeon of the Fraser River Canyon can be caught spring, summer and fall in the Fraser Lillooet Canyon, but be careful when fishing during run off (freshet) in late spring and early summer as the higher water and debris can make things a little dangerous in a river canyon environment. There are only a few access spots from shore as most of the land is private or too rough. This section of river is best fished from a boat but caution is advised if you are not experienced in river canyon naviga- tion. A guide service is your best choice when exploring a new area or you could visit the local tackle store for gear and info.
