Real Stories from Real Guests

From guided fishing trips to scenic tours to accessible water access, here's what guests have to say.

"A big thanks to Alan and the team at Lake Nipissing Outfitters for an amazing 3 days with my son. Not only was the experience fruitful as far results go (fish caught), it was also very educational. My son and I were 'beginners' as far as fishing goes. We were so well taken care of; not just the fishing gear that was provided, but also the thoughtfulness to make sure we were properly outfitted..." see more →

Handwritten thank-you note
"Had an awesome day on the water with Alan. My son (7) is an avid fisherman and this was definitely the highlight of our vacation trip to the North Bay area. We had a blast catching fish and learning about the lake from Alan. The boat setup & gear was perfect. Highly recommend booking with Alan if you're in the area. We plan to return next year!"
