Kayak Fishing Courses and Trips

SKILS is the pioneer of kayak fishing instruction in Canada. Try it and get hooked.

Fishing and kayaking are a great combination. The shallow draft, manoeuvrability, and stealth of the kayak allow anglers to tuck into shoals, shallow lagoons, and the other nooks and crannies that fish love. The technical and tactical challenges of fishing from a kayak offer real rewards for fishers. Its also a great way to supplement food on a paddling trip. Whether you want to fish from a dedicated fishing kayak with all the associated bells and whistles, or you want to minimally modify your existing kayak for fishing while touring, our kayak fishing courses are for you.

Email us if you are interested by a custom and private kayak fishing expedition from 1 to 10 days.
