Terms of use
Sturgeon Tracker (frasersturgeon.org) · last updated November 2, 2026
By using Sturgeon Tracker you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Beta
The site is in beta. Features may change, and some may later become part of a paid plan; they are marked “Pro · free in beta” so this won't come as a surprise. We'll give notice before anything you use becomes paid.
Tides, currents and conditions are estimates
Tide, current, slack-water and river-condition information is estimated from public data and models and can be wrong — sometimes by an hour or more, especially up the river and when the Fraser runs high. It is not for navigation or safety decisions. Always check official sources, watch the water yourself, and boat and fish safely.
Fish responsibly
White sturgeon fishing in BC is catch-and-release and regulated. You are responsible for holding the right licence and following the current regulations and handling guidelines. Nothing on this site is advice to the contrary.
Your account and content
- Keep your account to yourself; you're responsible for what is logged with it.
- You own what you upload. You give us permission to store and show it to you, and — only for catches you choose to share — to keep the anonymous community record described in the privacy policy.
- Log real catches and observations, and only upload photos you have the right to share. We may remove content or accounts that are false, abusive or illegal.
Acceptable use
Don't try to break, overload or scrape the site, get at other people's data, or use it to harm fish or other people (for example, to target protected areas or people's fishing spots).

No warranty, limited liability
The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses arising from using it or relying on its information, including tide, current and condition estimates.
