Tyler Alexander

Manitouwadge, Ontario, Canada

Member since June 2025

We run guided fishing trips out of Manitouwadge, Ontario, aboard a 16’ Starcraft aluminum boat for comfort-based outings, and a smaller 14’ boat for more rugged, off-the-beaten-path adventures. With years of experience navigating Northern Ontario’s hidden lakes, we know where to find Walleye, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch, and Brook Trout. Guests will have the chance to reel them in using a range of techniques, including bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, and more. Whether you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler, Tyler offers a friendly, hands-on experience. The only way to truly learn these waters is to join him on them.
