A guided river fishing service near Old Montréal on the St. Lawrence, known for sturgeon, bass and carp trips with patient guides, but recent reviewers say the listed phone number no longer reaches the business.
Old Montreal Fishing (Pêche Vieux-Montréal) offered guided half-day and full-day fishing trips on the St. Lawrence River right by the city, and for years the reviews were almost all five stars. Visitors loved being on the water minutes from downtown and catching serious fish.
Sturgeon were the headline, with clients landing fish of 60 inches and more, alongside smallmouth bass and carp. Guides were praised for knowing the river, keeping groups on fish, and being patient with children and beginners while giving tips to experienced anglers, including advice on fishing from shore. The boat and a large selection of gear were supplied. One visitor recalled winter ice fishing near the Old Port.
Families found it a great outing, with parents bringing children as young as seven. Several guests said four hours passes very quickly and suggested booking a full day if you can.
The recent reviews are a concern. Over the past couple of years several people say they couldn't get through despite repeated calls and a visit, and a recent reviewer warns the listed number now belongs to someone else. Confirm the business is still operating, through an up-to-date website or social media, before planning a trip around it.
