St. Lawrence River Fishing

St. Lawrence River:

Legendary for its ever-elusive muskie and trophy pike and walleye, the 1000 Islands Region of the St. Lawrence River is known around the globe as a premier fishing destination. Stunning islands, shoals and protected bays are the setting for some of the most picturesque places you’ll ever drop a line. Bring the family and reel a battling bass off the river bottom within sight of Boldt Castle and quaint, historic waterside villages.

The 1000 Islands is famous for its muskies. There are few places where muskies grow as large and cunning. Hiring one of the many expert and experienced river guides makes hauling-in a muskie a reality for anglers of all skills.

Excellent fishing for northern pike and walleye can be enjoyed year-round. In winter, the bays and islands provide numerous fishing hot spots. In the warmer months, the shoals around islands and at the river’s edge are abundant with northern pike. In spring and summer, great action for walleye can be found in many places, especially where Lake Ontario flows into the St. Lawrence.

Smallmouth bass catches of up to four pounds are common around the islands, off points and in bays. The islands and weedy bays on the edges of shoals, particularly around Wellesley Island, provide great opportunities for largemouth bass. Not surprisingly, the 1000 Islands is a popular stop for professional and amateur bass tournaments.
