Harrison River BC:

Short but sweet the Harrison river starts from Harrison lake near the Harrison hot springs.

      Nice 12+ pound Coho (Silver) salmon Cutthroat trout about 3 lbs.Nice "Coho" silver salmon on the light spinning gear

The river slowly winds down past Morris / Weaver Creek (hatchery) and the Chehalis river (hatchery) to meet the Fraser river. With two separate Hatcheries the Harrison is a major conduit for fish migrating back to their home waters. The Harrison is also home to White Sturgeon living both in the lake and down the river where they join with the Fraser river stock. With many runs of salmon and excellent stocks of Cutthroat trout the Harrison rates as one of BC's best kept secrets.

Fishing the clear cold waters of this river offers the chance to catch a wide variety of trout and salmon. The Cutthroat trout are plentiful and some grow quite large( 8-9 lbs. for sea-run).

The river is also home to Dolly Varden/Bull and Rainbow trout (Dolly Varden must be released). With good water clarity you can sight fish for big Sturgeon. Along the banks of the river you will find large numbers of waterfowl. Every November hundreds of Bald Eagles gather here to gorge on salmon.
