Explore the natural world of Ontario on your next freshwater fishing adventure with Redwood Sportfishing Charters! Captain Dean Lapham inherited the charter from his father Dale, along with the knowledge and experience to put you on the fish.

Hop aboard their 18' Hobo Cruiser flats boat, perfect for cruising the waters of St. Mary's River. The boat can accommodate up to 5 people fishing at the same time, so it's great for a friend and family outing. There's a porta-potty toilet on board for your convenience. The boat comes with a wireless trolling motor, so you don't have to worry about scaring the fearful specimens.

You'll get all the fishing equipment on board – Capt. Dean uses Daiwa reels and Berkley rods, and he'll provide you with live bait as well. He'll show you a variety of techniques used in these waters, and after a productive day, he'll be happy to clean and fillet any catch that you'd like to take to the table.

When it comes to fishing, St. Mary's River is famous for its Rainbow Trout and Whitefish populations, as well as Salmon. You can target Coho, Pink, Chinook, and Atlantic Salmon, depending on the season. Expect to run into Walleye, Perch, Pike, and Bass as well.

Capt. Dean can take you from the rapids of the St. Mary's River all the way to the mouth of the Garden River and Lake George. This area has amazing opportunities for Salmon fishing, and thanks to the Atlantic Salmon stocking program of Lake Superior State University, it will stay that way for future generations.

Make sure to buy and bring a fishing license, as well as a small cooler. You can bring your own snacks and drinks, and Capt. Dean can arrange a box lunch at an additional charge – just let him know about any allergies.

Great Fishing
Half Day Trip – Atlantic Salmon on July 30, 20252 adults

I booked a charter fishing trip with Redwood Sportfishing in Sault Ste. Marie for my husband and I. The communication was great between myself and Captain Dean. We didn't wait long at our meeting spot the day our fishing trip. Captain Dean and his sidekick John we very polite and helpful. They got everything set up for us and instructed us on how to fish Atlantic Salmon, as we never fished this fish before. By listening to their advice we were successful in catching an Atlantic Salmon and 2 Rainbow Trout. They even cleaned the fish for us when we got back to the marina. Thank you Captain Dean and John for a great day fishing. We would book this Charter again in a heart beat!

Great guide!
Lake Superior Salmon on May 23, 20262 adults1 child

You can't predict the wind with Lake Superior, and while it wasn't safe to do as originally planned, he was flexible and we made it work with an inland lake and had a blast catching Speckle Trout. Great guide, and we had a blast!
