Why I Keep Coming Back to Fish with Yves Bisson

If you’re considering a sturgeon fishing adventure, let me share why I keep coming back to fish with super-guide Yves Bisson. After several trips on the Fraser River with Yves, I can confidently say that his charters are truly unforgettable experiences. Here’s why I am a “regular” and have been recommending Yves over the past several years.

Knowledge and Passion

Yves’s deep knowledge of sturgeon fishing is immediately apparent. Every time I step on his boat, I’m impressed by how much he knows about these dinosaurs —their behavior, seasonal habitats, what they are feeding on in what part of the river, etc.  I guess fishing for the same fish 250+ days a year is worth something.

It’s clear that Yves is extremely passionate about what he does. This industry is 100% catch & release. Yves cares deeply about the preservation of the Great White Sturgeon in the Fraser River.  From the way you fight the fish, to the tagging program to the safe release of the sturgeon once caught, Yves is extremely diligent.  AND, he has personally contributed / tagged more than 20,000 sturgeon in the sturgeon conservation program (the largest database of any animal on the planet).

Top-Notch Gear

One of the things I appreciate most about fishing with Yves is the quality of his fishing gear. When you fish with Yves, you get the best rods, reels, and quality bait, which really enhances the fishing experience. I’ve been on charters with other companies where it seems like the gear isn’t going to hold up and the guide is smoking more than fishing.  But with Yves, I know I’m using the right tools and getting the right guy for the job.

Beautiful Fishing Spots

The locations where we fish highlight beautiful British Columbia.  Yves does not fish in downtown Mission just to save boat gas.  When fishing with Yves, you leave out of Chilliwack or even Hope – in areas filled with mountains and wildlife – not traffic or boat noise. You may travel for 30 minutes+ at a time to find the best and secluded areas of the Fraser River. Being on the water with Yves is as much about enjoying the surroundings as it is about catching monster sturgeon. The beauty of nature just adds to the experience.

Tailored Experience

Yves really knows how to personalize the fishing experience. He listens to what each person is hoping to achieve on each trip, whether that’s going after a trophy sturgeon or just focusing on catching small fish for the up and coming “fisherkids” on the boat.  Personally, I feel bigger is better and would rather catch only a few large fish than many smaller ones. 

Family-Friendly Fun

When sturgeon fishing with Yves, it certainly can be a family-friendly experience. I’ve brought my kids along, and he has a way of making it fun and engaging for everyone. He’s patient and encouraging, especially with younger anglers, which makes it a great experience for all of us. Every trip feels like a special outing, and I love seeing my kids get excited about fishing.

Rave Reviews

I’ve read so many positive reviews from others who have fished with Yves, and I completely understand why. People rave about his professionalism, warmth, and the overall quality of the experience. It’s great to see that others share my sentiment and appreciate the time spent with him on the water.  Have a look at Sturgeon Co on Trip Advisor
