Fishing in Canada

Grab your tackle box, head for a watery wilderness and discover diverse fishing experiences amid a kaleidoscope of spectacular Canadian landscapes.

From sea to sea to sea Canada’s 180 salt and freshwater fish species are as diverse as our landscapes. Ribboned with freshwater and bordered by three oceans, Canadian fishing means fresh. A logical locavore pastime.

Meet the real people for whom fishing is a way of life. Connect with their passion for the outdoors and learn about their stewardship of the waters. Get to know friendly lodge owners who welcome you into their fishing culture.

Bond with your friendly guides, hear their fishing tales and feel their passion about sports fishing. Join them for a freshly caught meal delivered as a classic Canadian shore lunch. 

Revel in fishing experiences from tranquil to adrenalin-stoking, then savour the delicious variety of Canada’s fish & seafood menus. When the fishing’s done, head home with sweet memories of new friends and new flavours!
