Located just 80 kilometers east of Vancouver in the heart of the Fraser Valley, the Chilliwack River is widely regarded as the most popular recreational fishing stream in British Columbia. Known by two names depending on where you are on the river — the Vedder River in its lower reaches and the Chilliwack River in its middle and upper sections — this glacier-fed, freestone river draws anglers from across Canada and around the world. Its clear, cold waters, dramatic mountain backdrop, and extraordinary diversity of target species make it a true year-round fishing destination, with opportunities for salmon, steelhead, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and kokanee across its various sections.
