Silversides Fishing Adventures

Silversides Fishing Adventures is a small, family-operated charter based at 28 Cassiar St N in East Vancouver, right on the Fraser River. They specialize in guided fishing trips for salmon (chinook, coho, pink, chum) and sturgeon, one of the largest freshwater fish in North America. Trips typically last from half-day to full-day, and the experienced captains know the best spots on the river. The boat is comfortable and equipped with top-notch gear. What sets Silversides apart is their personal touch: they teach you techniques, clean your catch, and can even recommend local processors. The Fraser River setting offers stunning views of the North Shore mountains and the city skyline. It's a hands-on, authentic fishing experience suitable for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.

A bit of history

Silversides Fishing Adventures was founded by a local fishing family with decades of experience on the Fraser River. The Fraser is one of the world's greatest salmon rivers, supporting a commercial and recreational fishery that has sustained Indigenous peoples and settlers for centuries.
