Fishing Know-How

Walleye fishing here is an art form, and you'll be learning from the best. We typically use a mix of techniques depending on the conditions. Trolling is a go-to method, where we'll set up multiple lines with crankbaits or crawler harnesses. When the fish are deeper, we might switch to jigging, which is a blast once you get the hang of it. Your guide will show you how to read the fish finder, pick the right lures, and set the hook just right. The St. Lawrence and Ontario are known for structure fishing - we'll be targeting underwater humps, drop-offs, and weed lines where walleye love to hang out. Don't worry if you're new to this - by the end of the day, you'll be talking like a pro about current seams and thermoclines.

Target Species Breakdown

Walleye are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are some of the wiliest fish in freshwater, and they put up a heck of a fight. In the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario, walleye can grow to trophy sizes - we're talking 10 pounds or more. They've got a mouthful of sharp teeth and a attitude to match. Walleye are most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings can be prime time. What makes them so exciting to catch is their unpredictable nature - one minute it's all quiet, the next your rod is doubled over. The best part? They're also fantastic eating fish, with a sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat.

While we're focused on walleye, don't be surprised if we hook into some other species. The waters here are teeming with life. You might tangle with a hefty smallmouth bass, feel the powerful run of a steelhead, or even battle a monster muskie. Each of these fish adds its own flavor to the trip, and your guide will be happy to target them if that's what you're after.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

These aren't just any walleye - we're talking about some of the biggest, healthiest fish you'll find anywhere. And the abundance is incredible.
