About Your Trip

If you’re ready to chase trophy fish in one of Ontario’s most productive freshwater fisheries, join Captain Ben on the legendary Kawartha Lakes. A true local through and through, Captain Ben has spent years dialing in these waters and is passionate about delivering personalized, action-packed fishing adventures for anglers of all ages and skill levels.

Specializing in Musky, Walleye, and Northern Pike, Captain Ben tailors every trip to match your goals—whether you’re hunting a true
trophy, looking to learn new techniques, or simply hoping to enjoy a relaxing few hours on the water. The Kawarthas are known for producing quality fish, and having a guide who understands seasonal patterns, structure, and feeding behavior makes all the difference.

On your trip, you’ll fish carefully selected, handpicked spots that Captain Ben has refined over years of experience. Depending on your target species and the time of year, you may cast and retrieve for aggressive Pike, work structure for Walleye, or dedicate your time to the hunt for a massive Musky—the “fish of 10,000 casts.” Every outing is customized to give you the best opportunity the day has to offer.

Captain Ben provides top-of-the-line rods, reels, and tackle to ensure you’re fishing with dependable, high-quality gear. He takes pride not only in helping clients land fish, but in sharing his knowledge along the way—explaining techniques, reading water, and teaching the small adjustments that can make a big difference. His goal is simple: to create a memorable experience that leaves you with new skills, great photos, and stories worth telling.

Weekend trips are available in both 3-hour and 5-hour options for two anglers. Morning trips run from 6:00am, and evening trips are timed perfectly to take advantage of prime low-light feeding windows. Whether you choose a quick outing or a longer session to cover more water, you’ll get a focused, hands-on experience built around your group.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable local guide who truly cares about your time on the water, Captain Ben is ready to show you why the Kawartha Lakes are such a special place to fish.
