About Your Trip

Spend four hours exploring the productive waters of the Ottawa River alongside Sherif as you target some of the area's most sought-after freshwater species. Whether you're looking to battle aggressive Northern Pike, hard-fighting Smallmouth Bass, or elusive Walleye, this private trip offers an exciting opportunity for anglers of all experience levels to enjoy one of Canada's premier urban fisheries.

Your day begins aboard Sherif's 16' Lund, a stable and versatile fishing boat powered by a
dependable 40 HP Mercury outboard. Equipped with modern fish-finding electronics and plenty of room for up to four anglers, it's perfectly suited for covering water efficiently while keeping everyone comfortable throughout the trip.

Every outing is customized based on the season, water conditions, and the species you're targeting. You may cast lures along weed lines for explosive Northern Pike strikes, finesse rocky structure for Smallmouth Bass, or jig deeper water for Walleye. Sherif enjoys sharing the "why" behind every technique, offering tips on lure selection, fish behavior, presentation, and reading electronics so you'll leave the trip as a more confident angler.

All rods, reels, and tackle are provided, making it easy to simply show up and fish. Be sure to bring your Ontario fishing license (required for most anglers ages 18-64), weather-appropriate clothing, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, along with any snacks or drinks you'd like for the trip. Whether you're chasing your personal best or simply looking to spend a relaxing morning on the water, Sherif will work hard to make it a memorable experience.
