The start of each fishing season is marked with the melting away of the final ice floes from the waters of the St Lawrence River and the arrival of the warm spring air. After a long winter the carp now start to roam around the shallow warmer bay’s in search of food which can make May time an exceptional fishing period. Our first week was a bit of a slow start for the St. Lawrence River’s high standards, the weather playing a big part as the temps dropped during the week.

We are pleased to report however that all our guests still enjoyed some fantastic hard fighting fishing with numerous runs, something the river is famous for as well as a few personal bests!
