Trent Severn
The vast interconnecting lakes and rivers of the Trent Severn System flow through the scenically stunning Kawartha Lakeland. The ‘Land of Shining Waters’ here are wonderful still waters and rivers where the carp fishing is at its best and only an hour and a half or so from Toronto Airport. Chris Tarrant, Des Taylor, Mick Gee and Bob Nudd have all fished with us here and they have all enjoyed stunning fishing.
Within a couple of hours drive you can find scenic swims, uncrowded waters to explore and excellent accommodation bases ranging from a fully guided lodge to waterside self catering cottages.
Anglers do not have to be carp specialists to get the most out of the prolific carp fishing here in Eastern Canada. We have top local guides to supply the latest information and advice, or there is the option of joining one of Mick Gee’s guided trips. For anglers who would like to join an escorted group, Mick Gee bases his guided trips on Lakeside Cottages at Lakefield.
