PEI Trout Fishing

PEI has lots of fresh water and lots of phenominal trout fishing.
Prince Edward Island offers 1,100 miles of coastline, deeply indented with many estuaries and bays. Other than barrier beach ponds, which can be found at the mouth of many streams, there are few natural lakes. However, there are more than 800 artificial ponds, many originally constructed as mill ponds. The streams themselves are short and spring fed; most originating from springs that discharge 7 C water in summer and winter. As a result, streams on Prince Edward Island are less dependent upon surface run-off and maintain good flows, even in summer.

Prince Edward Island is one of the few places in North America where the brook trout or speckled trout, is still king. The large input of mineral rich groundwater, combined with short streams and large estuaries, has created ideal conditions for brook trout. Brook trout can be found in virtually every stream on the Island, with sea run trout, the fish most sought after by anglers, ranging from ½ lb to 6 lbs. Bait, fly or lures are used to take sea trout.

Imagine fishing for trout in crystalline azure waters .... drift fishing ...choosing the perfect lure or fly... discovering your very own fishing hole ... and finally savoring the taste of your pan fried fresh trout.
