FISHING GUIDES
A natural desire while visiting Sunset Country is finding a way to get on and explore the beautiful waterways of the region. Thankfully, we have independent guides who can offer you multiple days of fishing or flexibility to your travel plans. Perhaps you only have a couple of days in the area or you have family visiting that you’d like to treat to a day of fishing and sight-seeing on our clean and clear lakes.
You can experience the quintessential Canadian shore lunch, a tradition so purely Sunset Country, you or your company should never miss out on it. Sunset Country guides are happy to help experienced anglers get on fish, beginner anglers learn more about the equipment and techniques and even cater to those who just want to get out and take photos from the lake.
