What To Bring

Anglers between 18 and 65 years of age require valid fishing license.
The Ontario Conservation License covers all species except musky. An Ontario Sport License is required for musky fishing. 

Don’t forget to pack water, snacks/meals, sunscreen, and appropriate clothing.

We typically wet wade during the summer months in shorts and wading boots as the water is quite warm. Wading apparel is not provided.

 

Essential Safety Items

A hat and eyewear are required for all fishing. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended and will contribute to success.

Felt or studded soled footwear is mandatory for all outings involving wading. Slick algae covered rocks make rubber soles alone dangerous. Depending on your size, we may have a loaner pair available. A cost effective alternative is a pair of running shoes combined with crampon cleats. 

In our opinion, wading boots are a worthy early investment if you see yourself getting into fly fishing. We’d be happy to make some recommendations!

Safety is a priority at Courage. We can not guide anglers without the aforementioned items.

testimonials

WHAT OUR PAST ANGLERS
HAVE TO SAY

“Thank you for an amazing day. You have a true passion for the fishery and the fish and it truly shows. Your enthusiasm and hard work to educate your clients and help them succeed goes above and beyond. Your knack of which water to fish and which flies to use at specific points in time based on weather, water and light conditions always seemed to get us into fish. My two boys and I had a wonderful time and caught some big fish and it's all thanks to your skills and dedication. “

"I reached out to Josh with no previous musky fishing experience. My family and friends growing up shared stories of musky. Josh provided all necessary gear. He was knowledgeable and patient with a great sense of humour and optimism. He has a knack for explaining technique and was in-depth sharing details of the musky life cycle and river system… knowledge I will use in the future. On the first outing of 2020 I landed a 44” fish followed by a 48” on my next trip! Thanks again!"

The time and effort he has put into his craft is evident and very much appreciated. You can tell that he is passionate about not only fishing but ensuring that his guests have the best possible time. If you in Ottawa and want the best possible fishing experience, check out Courage Fly & Guide and you will be in good hands."
