Yes they can be taken over the next few months by float fishing them but it takes time where to find them. A boat will be an asset too.

Yes you can catch them on the Fraser .But your question is what are your chances , I would say very few and far in between . I've caught them before bar fishing years ago and seen a few others caught in the Fraser too , but that is not common . The ones I've seen , I would say were Thompson bound , never fished the Fraser this time of year when the winter runs are coming  headed for the Chilliwack or Chehealis . Fraser is a very big body of water to cover , so if you are trying to get a fish that can be hard to find in the Chilliwack , which is so much smaller then the fraser , what's your chances of finding them in the big river ? I would say slim.

Well thank you for the replies. I have been reading everything I can find about Steel head fishing with no metion of any fishing for them on
the Fraser so I thought I would ask.
