Drive-to Fishing

Chanté Charters
Kingsville / Pelee Island / L. Erie

Chanté Charter's walleye fishing involves casting and drift-fishing tactics. This is "hands-on, full-contact fishing", including great perch fishing in April and both trophy-class and numbers of walleye. Great smallmouth & perch fishing too !

Waltonian Inn
Callander / Lake Nipissing;

Long famous for fantastic walleye and northern pike fishing, especially in early season, Lake Nipissing's phenomenal perch fishing has been largely overlooked. Limit catches of perch, pike and walleye are the norm, with the absolute best fishing from the May opener through mid-June.
