The
fishing at Terracana The Fraser, one of the worlds largest rivers, is a first class angler's destination with some of the largest salmon runs anywhere! More than 60 other kinds of fish are found in the waters of the Fraser River. Learning the Fraser's many channels and the holding lies for the various species is a great challenge, just by it's murky water and huge size. The river changes every season and is beyond the ability of the average weekend angler. For the less experienced Small River that also runs through the property usually provides an easier catch.
SALMON Each year millions of salmon return to the Fraser on route to their spawning grounds. Sockeye, Chinook, Coho, Chum and Pink (odd years) salmon all pass by in Huge numbers. Some salmon, which migrate upriver to spawn in northern tributaries, swim as far as 1000 miles from the ocean to gravel beds in the Upper Fraser and it's tributaries like Small River just footsteps from your door. SALMON ARE PROTECTED AT THIS TIME!
