Fraser River Mouth (South Arm)

The Fraser River Mouth at the South Arm is a corridor spot where the river empties into the Strait of Georgia near Vancouver, British Columbia, marked by mixed bottom and mid-level exposure. Depths run from 10 to 40 feet, with current and tide moving water through the channel and shaping where fish hold. Sturgeon work this stretch through the warmer months, concentrating in the deeper mixed bottom where the river carries food down from upstream. Sockeye salmon push through the mouth on their return run, staging in the corridor during their summer window before continuing upriver. The interplay of tidal flow and river outflow keeps this a dynamic transition zone between fresh and salt water.
