TAKE A DAY TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL PEI SCENERY WHILE FISHING WITH AN EXPERIENCED FLY FISHERMAN
     
Prince Edward Island has some of the finest angling for trout and salmon in Eastern Canada. Enhancement efforts on the Morell and Trout Rivers have resulted in a great fishery for salmon and brook trout. There are also many other lesser known fishing holes where you can try your luck at fishing trout, salmon, or mackerel.
Trout
Prince Edward Island has only one native trout, the brook trout. Rainbows were introduced in the 1940's in some Island rivers. The season is open mid-April to mid-September, with an extended season in a few specific areas of PEI.
All guided trout fishing trips will be fly fishing only, barbless hooks, and catch & release.
Atlantic Salmon
A prized game fish, the historic Atlantic Salmon has seen a great reduction in numbers due to habitat destruction and mortality at sea. Stocking programs have helped increase the populations of returning fish. Open season on all waters from June 15th to September 15th. Exceptions are Morell River and Trout River (Coleman).
Mackerel Mackerel are a schooling salt water fish found around bridges and piers. Fishing for mackerel starts around early July and extends to early October. Where mackerel are hitting, the action can be non-stop -- a great way to spend a day with your kids. No license required. Rods and gear provided. You can catch mackerel with flies, lures, or live bait. Mackerel may be kept for your supper.
