Fly-fishing is more than a sport – it’s an obsession! Join your guide for two to five half-day outings to fish the local rivers and test your mettle against the feisty sea trout that range anywhere from 9” – 24” with weights up to 5 lbs. Although their crystal ball is a little cloudy when it comes to predicting exactly where the fish will be running, you can rely on your guide’s extensive knowledge for fantastic fly-fishing on the Baddeck River, Middle River, the Margaree or North River – wherever the best fly-fishing can be found! Fly fishing, like most adventures, can seem a bit daunting at first. From casting to hooking, you can spend a lifetime learning the distinctive skills and language. At this resort, your guides make fly fishing simple, creating a unique angling experience for any visitor, regardless of skill level.
