About Your Guide

Matthew N.

Independent Guide

Capt. Matthew has been an outdoor enthusiast his entire life, having traveled all over North America fishing and hunting. Originating in NYC, he fished the Atlantic Ocean most of his youth, chasing Stripe Bass, Blue Fish, and other saltwater predators. He has also fished some of the most pristine water reservoirs for bass, pike, walleye, and brook trout.

Upon moving to Niagara, it was an instant love story for him. Niagara captured his heart with its scenic lakeshore roads, beautiful sand beaches, abundant wine tasting, amazing restaurants, and vibrant nightlife on Clifton Hill, making it a family fun-packed holiday destination. While there, visitors can enjoy one of the greatest natural wonders in the world, Niagara Falls.

Fishing has always been his getaway and mental escape. He has spent his life improving his skills and enjoying the sport. His goal is to teach people and have them experience the fishery as he does. He wants people to take what they learn from him and utilize it in their home waters.

Now living between two great lakes (Lake Ontario and Lake Erie) gives him the ability to continually be successful with most freshwater species that may be on your bucket list. To top it all off, joining these two lakes is the Mighty Niagara River. With the ability to fish 365 days a year for an array of different species, each with its specific time of year and water temperature, there is always something to look forward to in the next season. He would love to share his knowledge and have you experience the fishery in the area.
