From the Grand River to the Conestogo River, there’s a wide variety of world-class recreational fishing in Southern Ontario’s largest watershed, which is also home to over half of the fish species in Canada. Whether trolling for walleye or fly fishing for trout, it’s all here – and within close reach of the convenient amenities of Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge.
