Canada Fishing Holidays

From trophy Lake Trout in the Yukon to giant Sturgeon on the Fraser River — two of Canada’s ultimate freshwater fishing adventures.

Discover world-class fishing holidays in Canada

In the remote wilderness of Yukon, anglers can enjoy exclusive fly and lure fishing for trophy Lake Trout and Northern Pike. Set on a pristine 60-square-mile lake and limited to just 12 guests, this is a true wilderness fishing experience. Lake trout from 5–20lb are regularly caught on the fly, while giants of 25–50lb can be targeted deeper using jigging techniques. Shallow bays and reefs also hold excellent numbers of hard-fighting northern pike, with fish to 30lb possible.

Further south in British Columbia, the mighty Fraser River offers world-class fishing for the legendary White Sturgeon. These prehistoric giants are measured in feet rather than pounds, with fish of 5–7ft common and monsters of 8–10ft always possible—creating one of the greatest freshwater big-fish adventures on Earth.
