As I'm always being asked about fishing guides and guided fishing trips in the Montreal area, particularly the St Lawrence River, I've decided to create a page recommending the best guides I know.
Many people don't have the opportunity to fish as often as they would like. Whether it's the lack of time, a boat, equipment or know how, or if you are visiting / just moved to a new area, paying an experienced fishing guide to show you the ropes is a great way to get started, as well as a worthwhile investment.
Tourist visiting Montreal for business or pleasure can also take advantage of Montreal's great fishing by fishing with fully equipped, knowledgeable and experienced fishing guides.
A guided fishing outing wil typically provide memories that last a lifetime, and makes for a great gift idea for that special angler in your life. Birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor parties or Xmas, gift certificates available as well with most guides.
I have fished with most of the following guides and can attest to them being great guys, as well as highly experienced fishermen. Not that they need my approval, the pics below speak for themselves. They will show you how, when and where to fish, and hopefully put you on to some trophy fish as well.
Mike - Specialty: Giant Musky
Other species: Walleye, Northern pike.
Mike is one of Montreal's top walleye and musky guides. We fished together a number of times, and I was amazed by his 6th sense when it comes to fishing and the outdoors in general. Whether you're looking for record sized muskies on the St Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers, or giant walleyes on Lac St Louis and Bay of Quinte, big salmon on Lake Ontario, Mike is the right fishing guide with the proper equipment to put you on to the fish of your dreams.
