My kid lives in the Lillooet area. Wants to river fish, so assuming the fraser. Would the Rod/Reels be the same as would be on the vedder? or would you need a heaver rod etc. Thank you

Depending on the time of year, you may find that the Fraser is closed to fishing ( might be open for sturgeon) from sometime in September to next June. Not sure of the exact dates but it would be worth going to Winners Edge in Lillooet and asking. They know what’s going on around there.
