Spring and fall are generally best for most freshwater species. Salmon runs peak July-October on the West Coast. Ice fishing season is December-March. Summer is prime for lake fishing and deep-sea charters. Each species and region has its own peak.
Is catch and release required?
Catch and release policies vary by species, water body, and province. Many trophy fisheries are catch-and-release only. Your guide will know the local regulations. Some guides specialize in conservation-focused catch-and-release trips.
Can beginners go with a fishing guide?
