The Onsite Podcast host interviews sturgeon guide Rod Toth after a full day of sturgeon fishing in Chilliwack, BC, where 16 people fished across four boats for eight hours, catching three fish on the host’s boat while Rod’s team landed both the largest and smallest fish. Rod, a guide for 24 years and former welder for 14, explains how he started guiding after being noticed by another guide, and outlines his offerings: sturgeon (mid-March through December), plus salmon, steelhead, and bass, with fall (Sept–Nov) popular for combining half-day sturgeon and half-day salmon due to salmon runs increasing sturgeon activity. He shares future plans to reduce sturgeon guiding due to physical demands, mentions volunteering for steelhead hatchery capture, and promotes booking via bentrods.ca and Instagram (Bent Rods Guiding and Tackle Co.).
