Guided flyfishing Southern Ontario. We are now offering guided trips for steelhead, salmon, and trout in the Georgian bay region of southern Ontario. This is where I began steelhead fishing several decades ago, on most likely the greatest steelhead fishery in Ontario, the Nottawasaga River watershed. This river has nearly 100 km of fishable water, with 4 distinct wild self-sustained runs of steelhead which were introduced to this watershed over 100 years ago. We will offer both wade, and guided float trips and specialize in swinging flies with two handed flyrods. This will be our foundation for guiding in this region but we’ll also offer trips abroad as there are endless opportunities for incredible flyfishing within this region.

STEELHEAD: There's nothing like hooking a sea bright Winter Steelhead. The rivers of Vancouver Island are flowing larger than average during this season, drawing in these fish from the ocean from late November through till April. There are highlights throughout the season in specific watersheds with the proper water conditions that will reward you with the greatest sports fish Vancouver Island has to offer. We like to use two handed rods and large flies to search out these fish, and often float several kilometres river a day through remote areas to find Bright waters with bright fish. We will then move north to the Skeena region during late April through May for the same fish that arrive in spring season. Similar waters as Vancouver Island with the same style fishing can produce some of the largest coastal Steelhead BC has to offer. In the mix of this Spring season there is also early spring salmon arriving which are willing to take the same flies. This can be a massive surprise while swinging for steelhead.

Springtime offers great steelhead fishing in southern Ontario on several streams During late April and May, swinging flies for steelhead can be awesome on certain watersheds, and numbers of fish can be spectacular in regards to what most of us expect steelhead fishing to be around the world. Also chasing these fish on the shorelines of the Great Lakes, stripping bait patterns can be very rewarding as well.

TROUT: On occasion while fly-fishing Vancouver Island you will encounter Sea-Run Cutthroat while searching for steelhead, these fish are feisty and quite aggressive to the fly!

Skeena River and Nas River steelhead arrive later, starting to show in the lower parts of the watersheds during late July. These fish are a great when found in the main stem in the mix of migrating salmon. Some of the largest steelhead we've ever encountered are on the lower watershed of the Skeena River during summer months.

Ontario in fall, We start seeing steelhead and salmon arriving in southern Ontario up the watersheds as early as mid August. Prime time being late September through till the end of November, and sometimes later into Christmas season weather dependent.

We offer float trips and walk & Wade trips during this season for very feisty steelhead and chinook salmon with the occasional brown trout in the mix.

SALMON: Pink Salmon are the first to arrive in mid July. We start targeting these fish on our ocean beaches. Schools of them can be found cruising near the shoreline and are highly aggressive to a stripped fly! They are easy targets and great fighters averaging 4 pounds. They are also great fun in our rivers when they first arrive and are still chrome. Our Coho salmon (silvers) can be found from Aug - Nov and can be fished the same as the pinks in both the Ocean & river. They are 8 pounds on average, very acrobatic and a real challenge to land. On occassions we also target Chum and King salmon when suitable. These fish are more than a hand full when hooked.

TROUT: Dolly Varden, Sea-Run Cutthroat & Rainbows can all be found around Vancouver Island. We can specifically target these fish but also encounter them while fishing for Salmon & steelhead. Our most unique trout fishery is targeting Sea-Run Cutthroat on our ocean beaches.
