Fly fish with us! Algonquin Fly Fishing

---

Learn to fly fish from scratch in just a couple of hours. Start at the beginning or refine your technique to catch more fish. One-on-one or small group instruction. Fully custom. Gear provided. Join us in the beautiful Ottawa Valley.

There is nothing like fly fishing from a drift boat. Sitting up high, flowing with the current, and casting into the eddies as you float by is thrilling and rewarding. Suitable for one or two anglers per boat, beginner or advanced. We run the famous Petawawa, Madawaska and Ottawa Rivers, targeting plentiful and aggressive smallmouth bass. Our specialty. 

Ice out in April until early June and again in September is fly fishing season in Algonquin Park. Native Algonquin brook trout are a special fish, and the Park has the greatest concentration of brook trout fishing in the south. We offer adventurous day trips that are off the beaten path - no crowds, good fish, but some work to get there. If it was easy wouldn't everyone go there?
