Be Gentle with fish you are going to release.
If you are fishing to eat, only take what you need.

Our company is devoted to doing our part for the environment, and is a strong advocate of fish conservation. Our facilities are completely solar powered and we support our local farmers by purchasing as much produce from them as we can to offset our carbon foot print. We are members of the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society and all sturgeon caught by us are measured, tagged and photographed before being gently released back to the wild.
