Description:
The Harrison River is a short but large tributary of the Fraser River, entering it near the community of Chehalis, British Columbia. The Harrison drains Harrison Lake and is the de facto continuation of the Lillooet River, which feeds the lake.
The Harrison is navigable, although in the days of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush of it was necessary to dredge the sandbars at the confluence with the Fraser, which were known as "the Riffles". There are also small rapids and difficult water in the first stretch of the river downstream from Harrison Lake, which is a forested canyon.
Below the confluence of the Chehalis River, at the bridge between Chehalis and the Municipality of Kent, the river widens into a wide backwater, Harrison Bay, then from there joins the Fraser. In addition to the aforementioned bridge (Hwy 7) the Harrison is also crossed by the mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Harrison River Fishing Report 11.13.12
Hello anglers and welcome to our fishing report!
Many might think that November means the end of our great fishing season, but its actually quite a magical month! November on the famous Harrison river is well known by local guides and anglers as having stellar fishing for Chum salmon, while Sturgeon fishing is excellent on the Fraser river just a few minutes away. The Chums of November are brighter and more aggressive than those of October. Bars of chrome are common here. This late run...
Harrison River Fishing Report 11.03.12
November salmon fishing on the Harrison river is a treat that few realize or take advantage of. Good runs of fresh bright Chum salmon will keep any angler happy due to their good size and brute power right until the end of the month. A few Coho salmon are still available and even some good size Sturgeon too.
Please enquire about late November specials. Call us today at 1-604-864-5445...

The Harrison river is crawling with fresh big Chum Salmon, often getting fish on every cast! all our recent trips have produced limits for our clients!

Chums are available from Oct 7 to late November. Early to late October is prime time for Fraser valley Coho and we are experiencing another great return this fall. Prime Coho dates a...

Fraser River/Harrison River Report
The Salmon fishing is very good for Chums, and I love these fish!! They provide excellent sport, they fight very very hard and nonstop action for the day. Expect good Chum fishing until mid-late November.
The beautiful Harrison river has Chums now, along with many other Fraser valley rivers. We don't floss our Chums, they bite our proven method, often 10 times more than most other methods. It's typical to hook into 10-40 per day each, call 604-864-5445...
