What To Expect
The White Sturgeon is North America’s largest fresh water fish. Reaching up to 1100 lbs, they range in size from 1-13 feet in length, sometimes bigger! Once you hook one you won’t want to stop. White Sturgeon live in the Fraser and Harrison rivers year-round. When you hook a sturgeon you better be prepared for an epic battle of a lifetime.
