We had an incredible day with Yves. He is professional, knowledgeable, and knows how to find the fish. You won’t regret booking a trip with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co. I’ll definitely be booking with Him for our next sturgeon trip.

- Peter Bismeyer

Yves took my boy and I out sturgeon fishing. Yves made the experience so remarkable due to his experience, professionalism, respect for the water and more importantly, the sturgeons. With this, Yves showed us an amazing experience and somehow managed to show us sturgeons from 3' long to 10' long! If you are looking for a guide with professionalism, sturgeon knowledge and a genuine passion for sturgeon, who also ended up being a fabulous chef, then Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co. is the place to go for an amazing experience.

- Rob Macdonald

Our work hired Yves to take us out on his guided tours of the Fraser River to Fish Sturgeon. He was on time and right away we all felt comfortable in his boat. Lots of space and very nice boat.

We travelled up river and anchored quick. On our second anchor we had hooked a monster fish and it was the fight of my life. After that everyone got a turn on the rod and all 5 of us were bringing fish in. It was an unbelievable experience.

Yves is extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, and fun. He has a strong passion for his business and the environment. He handles every fish safely and plays a huge part in the well being/ tracking of these prehistoric monsters and their eco system.

All the odds were against him, However nothing phased him.

  • Covid protocols
  • very high water with tons of debris
  • high winds
  • nowhere to go on shore

With all these difficult circumstances every one of us was able to fish and bring a sturgeon to the boat. He knew exactly where to go, how to fish, and we all learned so much from him. He put on a top notch bbq lunch. The best meal I’ve had in a while.

I’ve been sturgeon fishing a few times but this time was unreal. I’ve never seen so many fish caught in such a short time. I would recommend Yves to anyone looking to sturgeon fish. I am very excited to go back on the boat with him.

Thank you Yves.

- Jeremy Bunn

Well, our long weekend of showing a friend from Ontario the province of BC is over and the highlight remains our evening with Yves Bisson on the Fraser River. Yves is the epitome of excellence when it comes to a Sturgeon guide, with his knowledge of the fish, river he simply is the best in the industry in every way possible. I cant recommend Yves enough if you are the most seasoned of fisherman or a complete rookie he will provide you with everything you need to succeed and have the trip of a lifetime! Thanks again Yves, we will see you again soon!

- Around The World MMA

Excellent guide , very knowledgeable and friendly. Educated us in the history and conservation of this fishery and truly puts the fish and its survival first.

We had two double headers and landed three out of 6 fish. Largest was a 350 lb 8’4” sturgeon that had never been tagged. We were hooked. Other two landed fish were 5 and 6 feet and around 140 lbs. lost a small and one that would have competed for the top weight along with one around two hundred pounds.

Aside from sore arms it was a very enjoyable 4 hour charter. We realize that the result we got is not always going to happen but Yves knows what he is doing and the results speak for themselves. We all recommend him highly. Before you book anywhere else you owe it to yourself to give him a call. All equipment and boat was as he said - comfortable and in great order.

- Cal Shaw

The best guided sturgeon fishing experience at the mighty Fraser River. Our group had the most amazing time with Yves and it was about the education we took home with us, not to mention the sore arms, that will last many stories to shared with friends and family. We shall return.

- Jesse Carlson

I went sturgeon fishing with my Dad and brother last April, Yves was our guide. He took us out to some nice quiet but active fishing areas. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about sturgeons. I would recommend booking a trip with Yves and would love to go again someday, it was an awesome experience.

- Jordana Clark

If you are looking for the experience of a lifetime. Look no further!
Fun for all ages. Yves is able to find the little fish for the kids and the large, adult sturgeon for the adults that think they are up for the challenge.

- Glen B

For the third time, I took this wonderful sturgeon fishing trip with Yves Bisson on the Fraser River. Yves is indeed the Sturgeon Whisperer. He knows his river and he knows his fish. He exudes confidence from the moment you step into his cozy boat. I say cozy but you hardly need to be inside the warm cabin when there is so much action outside. Yves provides everything you need; his tackle is of the finest quality. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Just go and do it. It has to be one of the finest outdoor experiences in British Columbia, and that is saying a lot.

- Doug Pollard

All I can say is WOW. Yves was well-prepared, knowledgeable and a good time! We caught some BIG fish, and Yves helped us capture some great moments as well! Thank you SO much for this experience! It’s something we will remember forever.

- Cheyenne Schaller

We just came back from vacation in Vancouver/Whistler and our trip started with the most unique and sureal fishing day. After some research done by my son, we decided to go fishing for the white sturgeon in the Fraser River area with Yves Bisson. I have to say that the experience was the highlight of our trip. Snow and freezing rain was on the menu but it didn’t stop Yves from showing us how to catch this beauty. I have to say that most importantly, we have met a very passionate man that is implicated in the conservation of this monster fish. We have learned so much and we will be back for sure! Thanks again!
Isabelle, Yves and Seb

Highly recommend Yves as a guide. Super knowledgeable, hospitable and an all round good guy to be on the water with!!

- Lee Stephen

The day was overcast but the fish were hot !!!
7 fish landed all 6’3-8’6 ,grill seared steaks and garlic toast for lunch, non stop action every fish was jumping out of the water numerous times, best money spent in years!

What an amazing day of sturgeon fishing! Yves is an outstanding guide. He has a great amount of knowledge and an even higher amount of respect for these magnificent fish. If you are thinking of booking a guide for sturgeon fishing don’t hesitate to go with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co., he runs a quality operation !

- BC Wild

We absolutely loved our two days with Yves! He set the tone with a take your time vibe but still was so eager to show us the experience of sturgeon fishing. He gave us pointers as we hooked onto fish and shared his wealth of experience in the craft.
He cooked incredible lunches and really had everything to accommodate us in the boat. Heat in the main area was so cozy! Thank you for a great couple days.

- Dani G

Fantastic trip with an incredible guide. Yves is definitely a master of his craft. Our days in Yves boat were as enjoyable as they come. Can't wait to do it again.

- Paul H

Unbelieveable experience. I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time fishing, guiding fishermen and a part of the hospitality business. Yves is perhaps the finest example of a guide who understands what the profession truly means. He makes the days fun, the details are crisp from first contact through the drop off back at the ramp. Equipment and boat are kept spotless. Lunch was an amazing spread. Fishing knowledge lead him to plan and execute our day to match the ever changing conditions. It's all in the the details in this business, Yves has this covered. They day is made before the first fish bites. Watch him, he is engaged all day not sitting on the phone or daydreaming, paying full attention to how your day can be the best possible.

- Jason H

Had one of the best days on the river. Yves knowledge, professionalism and experience put him in the top tier of guides. We could not have had a better time, we loved every minute of the trip.

- Brad N

Yves was incredible - Hand's down the best experience I've ever had on the river. Yves went the extra mile to make it an amazing day for our family. His knowledge and expertise shined as he guided us through a great day. We will make it a point to go every year from now on and only use Yves.

- Mike E

We came out for a father son sturgeon trip with Yves Bisson. What a trip it was!! In 2 days we were kept hopping bringing in some of the biggest fish we had ever caught. Nothing under 5 ‘7” and many many over 7’. It was very nice to be part of the conservation with checking for tags and even tagging one of our own. Super knowledgeable and easy going. A definite return trip!!!

- Darryl Rempel

I can't thank Yves enough for the past 2 days of fishing. As a relatively inexperienced angler I was both excited and intimated by the idea of catching giant Sturgeon. Yves was patient and an incredible teacher. He made the whole experience comfortable and extremely fun. Fighting the Sturgeon was wild and I would recommend Yves as a guide to anyone. His experience and passion showed. Also he captured great photos for us so we can relive the memories over and over. I cannot say enough good things about Yves or this experience. We are already trying to plan out next trip with him.

- Kmahl

Yves took myself, Dad, brother and nephew out and we couldn’t have had a better day. We had fish that my nephew(9 years old) could reel in from start to finish and we had some that he needed help on and some where we needed his help! It was an experience that all of us will never forget! To top it off, Yves it literally one of a kind who makes you feel at home on his boat and also feels like part of the group. If you are looking for a great trip with family and friends, no need to look any further. Great trip! Thanks Yves

- Tim G

My Friend and I was looking for adrenaline. So we tried differents activities during our trip in British Columbia. But the best part of the week was the fishing trip. We go out of our confort zone. We only book 4 hours, but Yves found the best fishing spots. We caught 3 Giant sturgeons ! I highly recommend this fishing trip for everybody .
Thanks again Yves !

- michael

All I can say is WOW!! The best trip ever!!
Yves our guide is so knowledgeable and friendly.
We where able to catch 6 sturgeon all over 7 feet in one trip. What a beautiful day with beautiful scenery . Mother Nature at its best!!!
Highly recommend!

- Melinda

Best fishing experience of my life. Landed some monsters with the best fishing guide around! Thank you, Yves!

- Kane L

Having never been fishing before, I did not know what to expect. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had. Yves is a great host, fantastic guide, knowledgeable and passionate about sturgeon and the preservation of our fish (and sturgeon happen to be the most stunning creatures when you get upfront with them). You get to see BC's backyard in a totally different and amazing way. Super fun and enjoyable day.

- Alanadj

Alright so ladies and gentlemen, this guy is the real deal. I went out on July 15th with my dad that I hadn't seen in years. Yves knew what he was doing, a second nature kind of thing. He brought us on to some big fish, explained how this whole thing worked precisely and efficiently. We caught 4 fish, missed maybe 4 and had nibbles over 20 times during the day. 91", 90", 85" and 50". It was the experience of a life time and I'll be grateful to Yves forever. Hopefully I will get to go back out with him again. Book your trip, you won't regret it.

- Vincent Picotin

My two sons and 9 year old grandson had a fantastic day sturgeon fishing with Yves.

My grandson caught 3 smaller ones by himself and we topped that off with a 5.5 footer and an 8 footer. That was enhanced by a delicious lunch on the shore.

Yves is a great host and I would recommend him to anyone.

- Harry G

What an excellent way to spend a day. Our group had an amazing time with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co on the Fraser River. Plenty of sturgeon and an incredible lunch was provided. Top-notch experience!

- Erin C

Absolutely amazing afternoon! Yves is an excellent guide and makes sure your day on the river is well worth your dollar. He teaches you well and is very friendly and easy to talk too. Couldn't have had a better time!

- Isabelle F

Absolutely amazing experience going out with Yves. Guide like no other with actual experience and deep knowledge of sturgeons and their feeding patterns.

- Steven Kouwen

Yves is a great guide. Took us (a group of first time anglers) to the right spots and we could have at least one fish every hour of the entire day. Also we got the big ones.
It was really beyond expectations as we never thought it would be on our first time that we would be blessed with the big fishes.

Also, the BBQ was amazing. Very delicious and having a great variety of food.

Thanks for the great experience, Yves.

- Jonatas Gomes

I bought this trip for my dad and husband for Father’s Day and they had a absolute blast! Yves was fun and knowledgable about the sturgeon. 10/10 would recommend! Will 100% be back.

- Hailey H

My family and I went out for an evening trip with Yves and it was absolutely incredible. He was so accommodating and made sure everyone had the best time, even our 9 month old baby.

I have been on many guided fishing trips and this one was by far the best. 100% recommend to anyone interested in going out for these incredible fish to boom with Yves.

Thanks for the incredible memories and can’t wait to get out again!!

- Hans Andersen

Definitely recommend for anyone who loves the thrill of BIG fish! Went out with Yves last week and it was an incredible experience. He was an excellent guide and a gentleman. Shore lunch was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and the fishing was insane!!!
World class fishing!

- Kate F.

My first experiance with Yves on the mighty Fraser River was a 10/10 experiance. Out of the dozen or so times i've been with different guides over the years this experiance tops them all. I Highly recommend booking Yves. The coolest highlight besides the giants we caught and the spectacular BBQ lunch was catching a fish tagged 20+ years ago and its still healthy and well! finished the day with back to back 8'1" & 8'2" 9 total caught. Thank you again Yves! next time we'll forsure bring our wives out.

- Kris Howes

Great day out on the river.

Yves is a pro. Not only at fishing but at hosting the whole experience. We had a great day out on the river. Caught 9 sturgeon in total and 2 of them were over 8' long. Yves is the sturgeon whisperer and seems to know exactly where they will be and what the best conditions are to catch a monster. Lunch was a feast and I'm wishing for seconds today.

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and will likely be trying to book Yves again when my in-laws come for a visit.

- Brad Howes

We absolutely loved our two days with Yves! He set the tone with a take your time vibe but still was so eager to show us the experience of sturgeon fishing. He gave us pointers as we hooked onto fish and shared his wealth of experience in the craft.

- Danielle Grunberg

Yves is a true professional, both at the guiding and fishing aspect of your adventure as well as hospitality side. Pre trip arrangements, a plan for the days fishing, it is all thought out and executed surgically. The gear is top notch, the lunch spread was actually 6 stars and he's just a fun guy to share the boat with. We also caught many great fish...but the trip was already made.

- Jason Hamilton

I can't say enough about Yves and the world class sturgeon fishery in the Fraser River.

In terms of fishing Yves tailored our trip to our personal goals. We had awesome action throughout the day and big fish.

As a guide Yves was very personable, patient and knowledgeable. It is apparent that Yves decades of experience are being used day in and day out to keep his guests catching fish year round. Was also refreshing to see Yves great fish handling skills and passion for preserving this unbelievable fishery.

I highly recommend giving Yves a call to book your trip of a lifetime. I am already rebooking.

Cheers

Wow, where to being... What an incredible day on the water with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co.

Yves was very attentive, informative and provides a fun atmosphere on the water. My family will have life long memories and stories for years to come. 9 sturgeon in 8 hours all between 6-8 feet long...

Yves not only knows the hot spots but most importantly cares for the river and the sustainability of the species. Highly recommend.

- Tim Erickson

An unreal experience! Yves had us all laughing and catching fish, definitely booking again, hopefully sooner rather than later.

- Carter Proudfoot

The best guided sturgeon fishing experience at the mighty Fraser River. Our group had the most amazing time with Yves and it was about the education we took home with us, not to mention the sore arms, that will last many stories to shared with friends and family. We shall return.

- Winston Chan

If you are looking for a fishing trip of a lifetime you are in the right place! I’ve done a lot of fishing and met thousands of people but Yves truly stands out to me. Yves does everything in his power to ensure you have a trip to remember. I was lucky enough to book a 2 day trip with Yves and I’ll be the first to say it he goes above and beyond for his clients. He provided us with incredible fishing and was extremely helpful with anything and everything. Aside from the world class fishing he also provided us with an absolutely incredible shore lunch right on the river! He does a fantastic job about teaching his clients proper fish handling and the amazing conservation efforts he and his fellow guides participate in to study the incredible giant sturgeon he’s known for! No matter your skill Yves will make sure you land that fish of a lifetime.

- Rylan P

Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co. is the best there is! Yves was an awesome host and guide who put us onto several in the 7-8 ft range. He knows the best areas and is a wealth of information and entertaining stories too. I've been on a lot of Sturgeon fishing trips and this was by far the best!

- David R

Very respectful to the fish.
A real authentic Chilliwack experience.
Great views of the Cheam Mt. Range.
Doesn't matter if you don't fish.
The Sturgeon are beautiful.

- Trevor B

Our company had four different fishing excursions booked with Yves Bisson and each and every one of the groups had the same reaction - this guy is the best! He's so knowledgeable about the sturgeon and their habitat and is sensitive to their well being. We had lots of people in our groups that had never fished before and Yves was so helpful in making us feel at ease. The lunch he cooked up for us was delicious as well. If you're nervous about anything in regards to going on this adventure let me put your mind at ease - you will be well taken care of! We're already looking forward to our trips next year and would highly recommend him to any company looking to do a little team building.

- Anita S

First, let me tell you about Yves. He is the kind of man you want as a friend. He is hard-working, kind, funny, and can give and take a joke. Beyond that, he is a man of integrity who knows the industry and has a high level of respect for sturgeon and for fishing as a whole.

I would recommend anyone to go fishing with Yves. This trip was my first sturgeon fishing experience. We were only out for a quick 4-hour trip and caught 2 sturgeon over 8 feet long and 300 lbs. At that time (my buddy) also caught a 3-foot 'little guy!'

We had a phenomenal time and my arms are still felling it! Thanks, Yves. Can't wait to go again.

- Rob C

No better guide for sturgeon on the Fraser! Yves is incredibly knowledgeable, so helpful while learning, and ensures you have an amazing time on his boat. Not to mention the amazing food he serves for lunch, it’s truly gourmet. Such a down to earth, chill, and positive guy. You will catch amazing fish, and have the absolute best time doing it. This is a trip of a lifetime!!! Can’t express my gratitude and thanks enough to Yves for our experience.

- Krista T

Yves went above and beyond my expectations, he’s an incredible guide. His attention to detail and love for what he does really shows everyday we were on the water. He’s extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. I will be continuing to come back for many years to come. 10/10 fishing experience.

- Ryan M

Yves was an extremely knowledgeable Guide with an admirable respect for the giant Sturgeon of the Fraser River. He was very attentive to the smallest details and worked very hard to make our experience memorable from start to finish, which also Included breath taking scenery & wildlife. My husband and I had a GREAT day & recommend Yves to anyone wanting the BEST time & BEST Guide

- Sherry R.

Not my first time out with Yves and won't be my last! He is a true master of his craft and his commitment to conservation and the well being of the sturgeon is very evident. I took my 8 year old son along and he helped me reel in a monster over 7 feet long. What great memories, and Yves captured some great photos for us to take home. We will be back for more.

- Marcel B

Best fishing trip of my life...brought my 13 year old daughter and she was blown away...we landed 5 Sturgeon..had to request a smaller one for my daughter to reel in...Yves is extremely proffessional and changed bait and 10 minutes later brought in a Sturgeon my daughter could handle...Sturgeon fishing is not just for guys...it can be a family bonding event...my daughter will NEVER forget her day of fishing and I highly recommend bringing your kids for lifetime memories...super guide...super day...thanks Yves

- John M

Yves was such an amazing guide, very professional from time of booking until the trip was finished. We had such a great day on the river, caught 6 massive sturgeon and enjoyed every minute of our day:) he’s full of knowledge and taught us so much. We will definitely be booking with him again!

- Christy F

My 13 yr old son and I went out with Yves on a four hour evening trip. I have been on a significant number of guided fishing trips and Yves tops them all. Very educational yet always interesting. Excellent instruction for technique to land this amazing fish. We will return. Book a trip with Yves, you won’t be disappointed.

- Steve Tycon

This guy knows his stuff. If you just want the best day on the river with a real pro, knowable friendly and a great coach ! Highly recommend! Call me anything for a review!

- Ray Yenkana

My husband and I along with my parents who were visiting us from Northern BC, shared an evening out on the river guided by Yves. If you're a seasoned fisherman or never touched a rod - I highly recommend a day out with Yves! He naturally caters to your experience and provides the most relaxing yet exciting several hours on the river! I promise you, you will not be disappointed! 11/10.

- Stephanie Kampman

Our day of fishing sturgeon with Yves was by far the best experience I've had on a boat. I've been on multiple guided trips before and I won't ever book with anyone other than Yves going forward. He was first class the entire way. He cares DEEPLY about the well-being of the river, the fish, and the integrity of the sport. He exudes knowledge and does an incredible job teaching and instructing all on board to maximize our experience. Finally, he takes such care and attention when documenting the trip when it comes to videos and photos. He captured group shots of our day that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thanks Yves!!!

- Scott Erickson

Having never been fishing before, I did not know what to expect. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had. Yves is a great host, fantastic guide, knowledgeable and passionate about sturgeon and the preservation of our fish (and sturgeon happen to be the most stunning creatures when you get upfront with them). You get to see BC's backyard in a totally different and amazing way. Super fun and enjoyable day.

- Alana Dale-Johnson

Our group had an incredible day with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co! My first time sturgeon fishing ever and it was an experience of a lifetime! Yves is an amazing guide. He brings years of knowledge and experience of guiding on the Fraser and is very professional and passionate about sturgeon. We hooked 8 and landed 5. The biggest was a whopping 9’8”! He runs a quality, top-notch operation. Can’t say enough about the amazing day we had while also taking in such stunning scenery. Beautiful BC at its finest. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. Will definitely be booking again.

- Scott Park

Our family just spent a day on the Fraser fishing sturgeon, guided by Yves Bisson. Totally amazing day...some of the best memories we've made as a family. I highly recommend Yves! With over 20 years experience on the Fraser he is a very knowledgeable and skilled guide. He knows where the fish are and how to get them. Even for some of us with little or no experience he helped us learn and created a memorable day for all of us!

- alain friesen

Yves was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. We did a half day (afternoon) and caught 3 massive fish! (7’8, 8’2, and 8’5). Every fish was scanned and recorded. He’s all about the experience and making the Sturgeon fish have the least amount of discomfort as possible. Will be booking again!!!

- Greg Neufeld

What a day! Unbelievably good family trip out on the Fraser with Yves and definitely got into some huge sturgeon. Yves is super knowledgeable about everything sturgeon and a gentlemen to boot. We did more catching than fishing which is always what you want. Top notch experience....will certainly be back.

- Glenn Bandstra

This was the fishing experience we always wanted but never had. Yves was an absolute pro and first class to deal with. His knowledge of the river and his willingness to go the extra mile was second to none. I HIGHLY recommend Yves and will hands down be back every year. Cheers Yves, thanks for making that day so memorable for our family.

- Mike Erickson

What an experience! Just got back from a full day of slaying monsters with Yves Bisson. Could not ask for a better guide or experience.. Yves is an absolute pro who goes to great lengths to deliver an amazing guest experience. He knows where the fish are, what bait to use, and his lunch provided is exceptional. Thank you Yves, can't wait to get back out with you!

- Andrew Bracewell

Great guide, great fishing & great family fun!
What a great experience we had with Yves sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River. He was a very knowledgeable guide, we had a very successful trip and the family just loved it. This was my Mother’s Day gift and I will definitely be booking again for next year!

- Sarah Eckersley

Unbelievable trip today with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co. Boat was in the water and loaded with snacks hot coffee on time when we arrived. Everyone in the boat caught a sturgeon, biggest was 8'9". Yves was very professional and very knowledgeable. Willing to teach and a great sense of humour. Will definitely return

- Michael Lane, Local Guide

We had an amazing time fishing with Yves! He is very educated about the river and the fish and was an awesome guide! We were celebrating our dads 60th birthday and we told Yves we had to get him a big one, he definitely did not disappoint!! Highly recommend taking a trip with Yves!! Thanks for celebrating with us and making it a memorable one!! We will be back!!

- Stephanie Thiessen

Yves gave us a wonderful day on the Fraser River. A professional guide who knows how to give his cliënts a day to remember.
Friendly, helping and good advice, a super bbq on the boat and doing his best to let you catch your dream sturgeon. Thanks Yves!!

- Erik van Mersbergen

What an experience! The service, preparation, treatment, guidance and education was amazing. Yves goes above and beyond just dropping lines in the water and sitting around waiting for something to happen, his understanding of the river placed us on the fish and resulted in a full day of action packed fishing. Already thinking about when we will do this next. Can't recommend Yves enough, you won’t be disappointed!

- Steven Mjoen

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! This trip and our guide blew all of our expectations out of the water!! From the moment we got on the boat he instantly put us at ease. Such a fun and action packed fishing trip! We landed 2 sturgeon; the first being 6’7 the second 8’8! It was definitely hard work reeling those dinosaurs in, but the coaching and encouragement helped so much! The bonus was how dedicated Yves was to make sure we got the most epic pictures to remember our trip. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much, 24 hours later and we still can’t wipe the smiles off of our faces!!

- Kimberly P.

Yves took my husband and my oldest boy out sturgeon fishing. Yves made the experience so remarkable due to his experience, professionalism, respect for the water and more importantly, the sturgeons. With this, Yves showed them, an amazing experience and somehow managed to show them sturgeons from 3' long to 10' long! If you are looking for a guide with professionalism, sturgeon knowledge and a genuine passion for sturgeon, who also ended up being a fabulous chef, then Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co. is the place to go for an amazing experience.

Yves is an awesome guide. He is passionate and super knowledgeable about sturgeons. I was lucky to have Yves as a guide during my volunteering day to tag, catch, and release juvenile white sturgeons. Out of all the boats that were out that day, our boat caught the most fish!

- Kendall McLaughlin

With a few game fishing trips under our belts, my husband and I conquer that the guide makes the trip. We were in such good hands with Yves Bisson who offered us the fishing adventure of a lifetime. As a guide for 20+ years, Yves is a professional with a wealth of knowledge about the Fraser River and white sturgeon. His top notch gear, story telling of the area and conservation efforts are second to none.
We were there for big game sports fishing, and we did just that and more! Yves knew exactly where to drop the anchor for monster sturgeon. Not only did we catch a 5 footer and 7 footer, but he allowed us to set the hook while guiding us through the technical skill to fight the monster sturgeon for minutes on end. All day we saw even larger sturgeon catching air in the distance. After an action packed morning, we docked on a beautiful and secluded sandbank for a delicious 4-course BBQ lunch.
His passion for conservation was evident in how he respected the water and the life within it. In fact, he is one of 20 people who are responsible for tagging and documenting the sturgeon in the river. It was an honour to be included in the documentation as he invited us to scan the sturgeon’s tags and record their numbers.
Thank you Yves, we will be back!

Amazing time on this full day experience on the Fraser River. First, you couldn’t find a better guide!! Seriously, Yves was absolutely amazing and he has such respect for the sturgeon and makes you feel so comfortable. 200% recommend! To top it off we caught so many fish and felt safe and looked after every moment. Even I was able to bring in a sturgeon and everyone with us!! Can’t recommend enough!! This would make an amazing girls trip!!! A must do, even when you are local!

- Gayle Corah

Here’s the most important thing, Yves loves fish, the environment, and what he does. His passion comes out when he speaks as he will explain what he’s doing, teach you about the environment, and also coach your through catching these INSANELY POWERFUL fish the way a teacher should. He will equip you will the tools and tricks, but also encourage you to earn that fish, learn from your mistakes, and encourage you to power through to the end while he feverishly works the boat in your favor! It’s also to catch 2 Sturgeon on just a 4 hour journey, but 100% this was a team effort!

Well, our long weekend of showing a friend from Ontario the province of BC is over and the highlight remains our evening with Yves Bisson on the Fraser River. Yves is the epitome of excellence when it comes to a Sturgeon guide, with his knowledge of the fish, river he simply is the best in the industry in every way possible. I cant recommend Yves enough if you are the most seasoned of fisherman or a complete rookie he will provide you with everything you need to succeed and have the trip of a lifetime! Thanks again Yves, we will see you again soon!

An awesome day owed entirely to Yves. By far the best guided trip my father and I have ever been on. The fishing was incredible and it was a pleasure to be on the boat with Yves. He without a doubt knows what he is doing and it was very clear he loves putting people on fish of a life time. All of the gear provided was top notch quality gear that I as an avid fisherman could only dream to be using! If you are in his area, I would totally recommend calling up Yves and booking a trip, you will not regret it what so ever!

- Logan Lewis

#1 sturgeon guide on the Fraser River. I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with Yves numerous times and know without a doubt the day will be filled with BIG fish and BIG smiles. He has endless knowledge of the sturgeon fishery and the river that supports it. It’s great to see his commitment to the conservation to ensure the future of this catch and release fishery. You will not regret booking with Yves!

- Jayce G

Have been out with Yves before and he is a true Career Fishing Guide and his years of fishing the Fraser River show up in the fish you hook up with! His experience and attention to my two sons and myself was awesome. Caught the Largest Sturgeon of my life and Yves made that and my first trip with just my two son's one of the most memorable days of my life!

- rptroutguy

Fishing with Yves isn’t just fishing.
I have never been with another guide that takes so much care of you like he does.
Everything from pick up at the hotel to return in the evening is just so professional.
Great lunches on the boat with either the barbecue or sandwiches.
And not to forget you will if you can handle it catch some monster fish.
My best recommendations for Yves Bisson sturgeon co.

- Thomas Storch

One of the best days I have ever had on the river. Yves is extremely professional and an expert at what he does.

- Darryl Buhler

Had the opportunity of a lifetime as a fishermen to fish for sturgeon. My son took me and my best buddy out for the day and I can’t say I have ever had a better more memorable experience! Yves attention to detail, professionalism, integrity and desire to make this a memorable experience was flawless!! If I didn’t see us catch 7 fish and 5 over seven feet I would have never believed such a feat was even possible! Can’t wait for the next trip and all the ones after that!! Highly recomend!!!

- Roly Patrick

I've gone on trips for the past two years with Yves and am very impressed. He really knows the river system, fish and provides an excellent overall experience. The section of river that Yves guides has spectacular scenery and really makes for a perfect setting when landing big fish! Definitely booking again and highly recommended!

- Jamie Deba

This was my 3rd Sturgeon trip but first with Yves. He is truly a “whisperer” when it comes to Sturgeon. He had us on fish all day long. His knowledge and equipment is 2nd to none which is particularly important when it comes to new fishermen (3 of our 4 where new to Sturgeon). I highly recommend him and I will definitely be coming back.

- Bart Reynolds

Booked a trip with yves and were currently on the fraser and all 3 of us have had our fair share of fish and the overall experiance right down to the complimentary coffee was the best day we've spent together in a very long time.
Everything about the trip was too notch highly recommend to anyone.
Look forward to booking another soon!

Another amazing trip sturgeon fishing with Yves. He is an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. All of the equipment was high end. His covered and heated boat was perfect for a rainy day. All round top rate company!

Yves came highly recommended from a friend, so when I decided to book a sturgeon trip for my dads 60th birthday I knew who to use. We were not disappointed we had an excellent day on a well run boat with 8 fish over 5 feet and a couple of hogs at 7 feet. We took the bbq option and it was excellent. Would not hesitate to book or reccomend yves bisson sturgeon company again.

- Jesse C

We experienced an incredible day sturgeon fishing on the river with Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co . We got 9 fish to the boat , one 8 ‘ 1” , four 7 ‘ plus , three 6 footers and the smallest at 4.5 ‘.

Thanks to our guide Yves Bisson for this memorable day!

Yves is a very knowledgeable, organized guide who not only got us into a lot of huge fish, he also took the time to explain a lot about the fishery to us and allowed our daughter to help with scanning and collecting data on the fish we caught.We highly recommend Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co!

- Garrett Schipper

From booking the trip to getting out on the river yves was exceptional.
Amazing guide and led us to many great experiances on the fraser. He came more than prepared and made it a day for all of us to remember. Thank you

I have fished with Yves Bisson on a number of occasions, and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River. He has guided trips I’ve been on with groups of men, couples, and even a family trip with three kids, and all were very fun. His care for the sturgeon, and their conservation is exemplary, and you will get an opportunity to witness the tagging/recording program of the Fraser River Conservation Society in action with Yves! Call Yves and Co. and book a trip—you won’t regret it!

- Aaron Chipper Gramlich

We had the most exciting day on the water! Yves not only helped us catch a BIG ONE (actually 2) - but he taught us SO much about fishing! We are so excited and looking forward to taking our kids one day!

- Karin Kathler

The number one guide for big sturgeon on the Fraser River. I have been working in the Sportfishing trade for over 20 years now and Yves is the best guide i have ever been fishing with by a long stretch. Highly recommend.

The best fishing guide in BC!

I have been out a few times sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River, with different guides. Yves is by far the best guide. He really knows his stuff and cares for the well-being of the sturgeon fishing industry. I would totally recommend anyone who wants to try sturgeon fishing to go with Yves Bisson.
