The 6 Best Fishing Tours in Canada

1.Ultimate Ice Fishing with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 46 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $112Our pick

Warm ice-fishing in Yellowknife with gear and bait, Great Slave Lake lunch on the ice, and a snowshoe or mist finish.

“The tour bus pick-up was right from the place we stayed at in Yellowknife. The ride to the lake took about 30 min. The fishing shack was well heated with a wood stove and had tea/coffee supplies in it. Our host Willie was great. He is from the Eskimo Nation and showed us pictures of his predecessors, who were fishermen, as well as of his hamlet Ulukhaktok. Willie was very knowledgable about fishing and his assistant prepared for us a delicious lunch from fried fresh fish (inconnu). Highly recommended!!!”

4.Banff Fishing on Lake Minnewanka

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $733

Fish Lake Minnewanka with a private Banff guide, included park licence, and top scenery, on a 4-hour charter that fits families and first-timers.

“We had a great time with Dylan on the last tour of the season. He is knowledgeable and personable, and immediately makes you feel at ease. While we didn’t catch any fish (he set that expectation this late in the season) we did have an amazing time in an absolutely gorgeous setting. A 3 hour tour on that lake is worth the price itself. A fish would have been a bonus. And again, Dylan far exceeded our expectations and made the time memorable.”
