Guides, Fly Water Guiding: Tyler Dunsmore & Adam Pett Your Host - Tyler Dunsmore - Guide/Instructor Tyler grew up fishing Southern Ontario rivers since he was five. Drawing on extensive experience having lived and guided in various Canadian fly fishing hot spots. Tyler has guided on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick for Atlantic Salmon and in British Columbia for Trout including Vancouver Island Steelhead. As well as having lived and guided in Argentina & Chile for the famous Patagonian Trout, and Tierra Del Feugo's Sea Run Browns. When not scouting or exploring on the river he spends time spinning flies for the next fishing opportunity. You will find his drift boat handling skills and experience is sure to provide an unforgettable week of fly fishing. Fly fishing is more than a job or a sport to Tyler, it is a passion. His love (obsession) for it comes through in all the little touches that makes his guiding the finest you will encounter. Now located on banks of the Middle Grand River, Tyler endeavours to incorporate all the best attributes of the fantastic places he has been privileged to work, to creating the best fly fishing experience possible here in Southern Ontario.

Hosted Trips & Travel With your Host, Tyler Dunsmore of Fly Water Guiding June 28 – July 5, 2025 A trip to southeastern Newfoundland’s La Poile River is more than a fishing trip: it is a travel adventure to a remote reach of a scenic maritime province that doesn’t see a whole lot of outsiders. A trip here is in ways a trip back in time to where the locals live simple, grounded lives, and the forests that cloak the river valley have never seen the saw. When lodge owner Jeroen Wohe, founder of Skeena River Lodge in the greater Terrace, BC region, dove into this latest project, it wasn’t because the river had the most fish or the largest fish; it was because it offered a truly special experience that has become increasingly hard to find in the anadromous fisheries of North America; a private experience where you will never be in competition for prime water and you will likely never see another soul. The region is utterly roadless, the exclusive commercial tenure to the fishing rights, and the river is broad and clear and flows as it did hundreds of years ago. It is also a river where the grilse and adult salmon alike seem to prefer dry flies over wets, and where both Spey and single-handed anglers will find not only lite-tackle action but sanctuary from the bustle of the modern world. His camp is very simple, utterly unpretentious, and best suited to folks that want a contemporary taste of what the great fishing lodges of yesteryear were all about. . What’s included: Transportation from Deer Lake, Water Taxi to Lapoile Bay, Side by side transfer to lodge -All Meals at Lodge – fishing licenses - 8 hrs. guided fishing per/day -Casting instruction, Fly tying and Product demos with Tyler -Fish with Tyler for approximately two, 4hr sessions during the trip. 2025 Rate: Per person based on double occupancy 7 night/5½ day package: $5,950.00USD (50% deposit due at time of reservation) Not Included: Airfare, gratuities, alcohol, satellite phone use, outbound overnight accommodations in Deer Lake.

Fly Water Guiding is located on the Exceptional Waters section of the Middle Grand River. OUR WATERS Fly Water Guiding is located on the Exceptional Waters section of the Middle Grand River. Middle Grand and Tributaries, Many cold water tributaries enter the main stem of the Grand River in this area, creating cold water refuges for trout and excellent rearing habitat. A couple of the major tributaries we fish are Whitemans Creek and the Nith River. Both of these tributaries are host to large runs of Steelhead, and support resident populations of Rainbow and Brown Trout. The Nith River is also host to an abundant population of Small Mouth Bass and is excellent sport during the summer months. Grand River being the largest water shed in Southern Ontario, offers a wide variety of fly fishing opportunities. The Mid and Lower reaches are reminiscent of many fabled Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon Rivers. This area of the river is host to classic steelhead runs and is a staging area for anadromous Steelhead waiting for favourable water conditions to re-enter there natal spawning tributaries. The Middle Grand is also host to a healthy population of resident Rainbow and Brown Trout, with spectacular hatches of Mayfly, Caddis, and Stoneflies to name a few. Further down stream in its lower reaches, has yet more Steelhead water holding late fall and winter run steelhead in good numbers. Upper Grand is famous for its Brown Trout fishery with many reaching over 20 inches. Although I concentrate on the middle reaches of the water shed the Upper can be a good alternative. Maitland River, Deemed by some, the most beautiful river in Southern Ontario. The Maitland River is a large river with both good drift boat and walk & wade opportunities for Smallmouth Bass And Steelhead. Also incidental catches of migrating Brown Trout and Coho Salmon can be a pleasant surprise. The Maitland River has a variety of runs and pools great for both single and two handed spey casting opportunities. Saugeen River ,is a large river system flowing from the highlands and escarpment west to Lake Huron. Almost all its tributaries are cold water spring fed streams and rivers supporting natural populations of Brook and Brown Trout. This also provides good spawning ground for Steelhead. This river is fished by drift boat in the mid and lower sections providing good opportunities for both single handed and spey casting. The tributaries of the Saugeen offer hard to reach hike, walk, and wade fly fishing opportunities. Other Rivers , Unfortunately the sheer number of water bodies we will fish are too long to list. We concentrate our efforts on small and medium sized rivers following good conditions bringing good numbers of fish. Our Steelhead ear is always to the ground and we are always ready to change rivers last minute if the perfect opportunity presents itself. We also use a variety of rivers when trying to customize a trip or provide a specific experience requested from our guests. RIVERS

Submit FLY WATER is centrally located in the heart of Ontario’s best fly fishing Rivers. A large amount of our river systems rise from the Niagara Escarpment (World Biosphere Reserve) and higher elevations of the central part of Southern Ontario. These rivers flow to one of four major Great Lake water bodies that border this part of the province. To the North is Georgian Bay, to the West is Lake Huron known as the West coast of Southern Ontario, and to The South Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Along with spring fed tributaries flowing from the Escarpment, there is also vast sand plains, Morians, and Drumlin fields in southern and eastern areas. Large amounts of ground water percolates from these formations into our rivers and streams creating year round cold water habitat for resident populations of Trout. All the Great Lakes support large populations of Steelhead and Brown Trout. These fish run all the rivers and streams flowing to these lakes. We are blessed to have large numbers of wild naturally reproducing populations. The cold water tributaries in combination with larger rivers warming in summer, supports prolific aquatic life, insect hatches, natural feeding habits, and imprinting of young fish. All of these factors resulting in Wild Steelhead that take well to the fly.
