Fly Fishing in Ontario, Canada
Canadian Fly Fishing Championships
The Friends of the Grand River hosted the fourth annual Canadian Fly Fishing Championships in June 2006. Eight teams of five anglers from across Canada competed on the Grand and Conestogo Rivers. The largest trout was 18 inches. 886 fish were caught in total, mostly small brown trout.
A Grand Experience… Always
Participants in the Championship agreed that The Grand
lived up to its reputation of a great flyfishing river, worth a trip
into Centre Wellington, Ontario, Canada. Bed & Breakfast owners and
other local businesses welcomed the many contestants with open arms
into Fergus and Elora. Centre Wellington is a great place to live, work
and recreate. Maybe an idea for your next vacation? Fly-in fishing on
the Grand River...
The magnificent Elora Gorge and Quarry are close by, Fergus has its renowned Truck Show and Scottish Festival - and places like St. Jacobs, Elmira, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and even Toronto and Niagara Falls are all within driving distance.
