Spring has quickly become my favourite time of the year to chase big smallmouth, after a long winter and spawn coming up these fish are hungry and aggressive! Focusing mostly on power fishing techniques to put these fish in the boat 50+ fish days are not uncommon with multiple trophy fish in the mix.

Summer fishing on the St. Lawrence River is exceptional for its versatility and consistency. Throughout the season, bass can be found living and feeding in shallow, mid-depth, and deep water, giving anglers the opportunity to experience a wide variety of techniques and patterns in a single day. From targeting aggressive shallow-water fish early in the morning to working deeper structure and current breaks as the day progresses, summer offers nonstop action and endless learning opportunities. This diversity not only keeps the fishing exciting but also makes summer an ideal time for anglers of all skill levels to build confidence, try new techniques, and chase trophy class bass.

Fall is an incredible time to be on the water. Less boat traffic, beautiful fall colours, Big and hungry fish! With fish shallow and deep almost every technique is in play making for a great learning opportunity, As these fish are feeding up for winter fall is your best chance at your next personal best smallmouth!

Walleye and pike fishing on the St. Lawrence River is absolutely fantastic, especially during the spring and fall. In the spring, walleye begin pushing out of their spawning grounds into deeper water for the summer. During this transition, they become aggressive and feed heavily to recover from the spawn. In the fall, walleye move from deep water back into the shallows, feeding aggressively once again. This seasonal movement creates an incredible bite, with both high numbers of fish and impressive trophy sized catches.

About Your Guide

Ieuan H.

Independent Guide

I’ve been fishing for nearly 20 years and have spent the last 10 years competing in bass tournaments throughout Ontario and the United States.

My passion is chasing bass, learning new techniques, and constantly becoming a better angler. That experience has taken me across some of the best bass fisheries in the region, including the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Lake St. Francis and beyond.

Today, I’m fortunate to turn that passion into a career as a fishing guide. I specialize in smallmouth and largemouth bass, with a focus on providing clients with an unforgettable day on the water while helping them improve their own skills and knowledge.

Whether you’re an experienced angler looking to catch a trophy smallmouth, a tournament fisherman wanting to learn new techniques, or someone simply looking to experience the incredible fishing the St. Lawrence River has to offer, my goal is to make every trip fun, productive and memorable.

I take pride in sharing the knowledge I’ve gained through years of fishing, guiding and tournament competition, while putting clients on the best opportunity possible to catch the fish of a lifetime.

I look forward to getting you out on the water!
