ACTIVITIES AROUND HARRISON HOT SPRINGS

GUIDED FISHING TOURS

BC Sport Fishing Group

British Columbia's Fraser Valley is a sport fisher's paradise. We are conveniently located in the middle of the valley with several rivers that are very productive and popular due to the tremendous returns of wild salmon, steelhead trout, and prehistoric white sturgeon.

There are several very successful fish hatcheries that generate huge returns of hatchery fish to the local rivers as well. The mighty Fraser River is the main artery of millions of migrating salmon that pass through on the way to the spawning grounds. This river is home of the long lived white sturgeon, the largest fresh water fish in North and South America. These monster fish grow to over one thousand pounds and live nearly 200 years. They are considered to be one of the most spectacular fresh water sports fish, having the reputation for their size, strength, and impressive jumps. Enjoy a British Columbia Sport Fishing Holiday today!.

Harrsion Lake Poker Run

A poker run is not a race. It is an opportunity for boaters to get out on the water and enjoy a day of safe boating with friends and fun. The object is to pick up 5 playing cards from points around the lake and see who has the best poker hand at the end of the day.

There are five card stops to make on the lake. Each stop will have a complete deck of cards with each card sealed in an envelope. You must pick up a card at each stop in order. If you cannot make each stop due to weather or your boat's range, you may pick up your missing cards at the end of the day before the banquet.
