Even though it's located in Canada's third largest city, heading out on a Port Credit fishing adventure feels like an escape into nature. Sitting on the mouth of the Port Credit River and boasting easy access to Lake Ontario, this shoreline community houses most of the GTA's charter fleet.
The sheer number of fish you can hook here makes why anglers flock here crystal clear. At different times of the year, you'll find Chinook and Coho Salmon in both the lake and the river. Add impressively sized Brown and Rainbow Trout, Brook and Lake Trout, as well as Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass to your target list and you'll have your hands full.
There are a variety of trip options to choose from in Port Credit. If you're chasing Salmon, you'll probably want to head out on a full day adventure. If you're looking to spend a day on the water with your family and catch a few Trout while you're at it, a half day trip should do the trick. Wintertime anglers can also indulge in ice fishing trips for Pike and Trout.
Port Credit's bustling marina is the best place to seek out a charter. It's also home to plenty of restaurants and shops, so make a full day of it and really escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
