Serious anglers will want to bring their rods and reels to Golden Ears Provincial Park, which has a series of large freshwater lakes, and has climates ranging from rainforest to subalpine and alpine.
Catch and release is also a popular pastime on the Lower Fraser River, where many have attempted to reel in the mighty white sturgeon, the second largest freshwater fish in the world. There are also five salmon species that call the river home, however, the sockeye fishery remains closed (as of 2016) due to low returns.

I thought Stratos was professional and easy to work with. We didn't have any problems or communication issues whatsoever. It's really nice when we don't have to deal with 10 different people to coordinate a trip.
