This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 7 fishing trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Join Sea Halifax Boat Tours for two hours on the water, cruising from Halifax toward McNab’s Island and Georges Island. Captains such as Jake, Carter, Alex, and Jonny provide rods, tackle, life jackets, and fishing help. No experience or fishing license purchase is required.
“I enjoyed talking to others about fishing. I’ve never caught a Cod before so I was excited to reel one in.”
Join Captain Carter and the Sea Halifax crew for a 2-hour fishing trip from Halifax Waterfront to waters beyond McNabb’s Island. Equipment is provided, beginners are welcome, and you can take home any fish you catch. Bring weather-ready clothes, sunscreen, water, and a camera.
“Carter was an exceptional captain. He helped everyone on board to have a successful trip! He was knowledgeable about the area and the fish we were catching. I would recommend without hesitation.”
Spend about four hours fishing near Montreal with guide Michel on a private St. Lawrence River boat trip for up to four people. Rods, bait, lures, a cooler, and life belts are supplied. You need a three-day fishing license, and rain gear is a smart extra.
“Went down to Newcastle, ON for a family fishing adventure. Had a great time with Michel, this was our second outing with him. We fished lac saint Louis in Montreal in 2023. Fishing was tough but he didn’t give up until my guys got their catch. Thank you Michel!!”
Meet Craig at 11 Riverside Dr. in Morell, PEI, then follow him to a fishing access point on the Morell River. You’ll get casting help, rods, waders, a license, snacks, and guidance on Brook Trout, local history, and stream care.
“Had a great day with Craig! He was very knowledgeable and taught me many new things! Highly recommend!”
Spend about four hours fishing the Columbia, Akolkolex, or Eagle River shorelines with AAA Guided Tours. Your guide provides rods, reels, waders, flies or lures, photos, and practical instruction for fly-fishing or spin casting. Zach is one named guide, and trips are available in English or French.
“Cracking day out. Fantastic guide in Zach. And our wives appreciated our absence for an afternoon! Would thoroughly recommend”
Meet your guide Stuart at Algonquin’s West Gate at 7:00 am, then follow him to a selected lake for three hours of private bass and trout fishing. Your canoe has a 3hp Torqeedo electric motor, sonar, quality tackle, and breakfast pastries from Henrietta’s Pine Bakery.
“Wonderful. Very nice and cooperative staff especially receptionist Diljeet and varun. Have a wonderful stay there. Highly recommended”
Fish Lake Minnewanka on a private charter from Banff with a local guide, boat, gear, and Banff National Park fishing licence included. Choose an 8:00am, 1:00pm, or shorter 5:30pm departure. Dylan and Johnny have earned praise for their friendly instruction and lake knowledge.
“Great one hour trip on Boat Cruise - Lake Minnewanka (not available from Drop Down Menu). Hayden and Krista were great host Captains that were professional, focussed, and friendly! Even though we are Albertans - it is nice to enjoy a more touristy activity in one of the most beautiful places on earth! Parking was very limited due to a busy weekend. Plan to arrive one hour ahead for comfort!”
Pick a mountain, a shoreline or a table.
