Guiding and Lessons
26 inch Grand River Brown Trout

Our Guiding service is second to none in Southern Ontario. Brian Primeau has been fly-fishing since 1987 and has been a Full-Time guide on the Grand River since 2004. He guides roughly 100 days per year on the Grand River alone! Once season opens, a day seldom passes that he is not on the water. Our Customer Gallery will speak for itself. We have clients from all over Canada as well as the United States who use our services on a regular basis. (Click Here to see Gallery)
“Clients come back because they trust my judgment and know that I will put them over quality fish. What’s a quality fish? One that an angler has a hope of catching given their experience and skill level. I try hard to place customers in front of fish that will challenge their ability. Not everyone has the knack to catch a monster, but it doesn’t take me long to figure out which areas of the river will give my client an opportunity to catch his/her personal best! If they don’t, then they will still have learned enough to increase the likelihood of having more consistent results the next time they venture out on their own.”
Our Guiding Services include the Grand River, Conestogo River, Credit River, and Saugeen River, for Brown Trout, Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout. For Migratory Salmon and Steelhead, as we are centrally located, with access to all the Great Lakes and their Tributaries.

Though there are currently no certification requirements for guides in Ontario, we are Level A CPR/First Aid Certified and Fully Insured. References available upon request. Contact us by phone 519-766-HOOK(4665) or email
