Canadian Fishing Trips
from: Rob LoreWinter, summer, spring or fall, there are Canadian fishing trips for every season. Not sure what the Great White North has to offer to recreational fishermen in the market for Canadian fishing trips? The short answer: Everything. Canada’s freshwater lakes are home to nearly 200 species of fish. In a 2000 federal survey, recreational fishermen caught nearly 233 million fish; they kept 85 million of those.
Tight government legislation means plenty of fish will be available for all anglers in the future. According to the 1996 "Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk," every province and territory must produce a report every 5 years detailing the population status of all wild fish species within provincial boundaries.
Do you want a cut of those millions of fish? Well, then your next decision is choosing where to drop your line. Fish in any of 10 Provinces and 3 northern Territories. Here’s a short list Canadian fishing trips to whet your appetite.
• Wrestle a 25-pound walleye from the pristine lakes of northern Ontario.
• Ice fish for trout in Alberta in the middle of a snowy winter.
• Fly fish for Rocky Mountain Whitefish in the wilderness of Muskwa-Kechika Provincial Park in northern British Columbia.
• Angle for wild Atlantic salmon in Gander River, Newfoundland on Canada’s east coast.
• Outmaneuver a feisty Arctic char or grayling high up in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
• Land a 50-pound Lake trout in Canada’s newest territory, Nunavut. Mosquito and Dubawnt lakes have been nicknamed, “Lake Trout Capital of the World.”
• Pull out the saltwater gear and hook a cod or a mackerel off the coast of Newfoundland.
• Dream of a 10-hour fishing day as you hunt salmon on an overnight trip to the Gulf Islands situated west of the Coast Mountain Range on Canada’s west coast
• Bait a hook with a worm or a grasshopper and catch an elusive Manitoba goldeye.
Strict fishing and conservation laws mean more fish
Along with the rod and reel, tape measures and cameras have now become standard equipment ensuring that only the "legal" fish are kept. Guides running Canadian fishing trips are well aware of the laws and won’t encourage an angler to step outside of them.
All provinces and territories require that both resident and non-resident fisherman purchase fishing licenses. Penalties vary, but those fishermen caught without a license on their person (even if they purchased one and left it behind in their camp) can expect a hefty fine.
Be sure to find out whether a license is part of your package, when booking Canadian fishing trips.
