I had always imagined the Fraser as a huge river with a very swift current, rapids, waterfalls and drop offs. Actually the river itself is quite similar to our North Saskatchewan River in northern Alberta in many respects. It's the scenery that really sets the two rivers apart. The mountains, hundreds of bald eagles, and the salmon jumping at this time of year, make this boat ride an adventure in it itself. Although I have fished lots of lakes over the years and drifted the Bow and Red Deer Rivers in a drift boat, I gained a whole new respect for the guides who are navigating jet boats in this ever-changing river.
