Fishing adventures on the Rideau Canal with Le Boat 

 

The Rideau Canal is not your typical European waterway; it has a unique water system consisting of 47 locks that seamlessly link together natural waterways, winding rivers, wetlands, and wide-open lakes in the heart of Ontario’s Cottage Country. It is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts outside of Ireland’s Shannon and Erne. With seamless cruising and priceless fishing moments on the Canal, this stunning region has been given a nod as one of the best fishing destinations by Fish TV, North America's premier fishing and destination show, with a feature exploring fishing on a boating vacation and how Le Boat is a front-runner for innovative travel experiences.  

In this captivating Fish TV feature, hosts Leo Stakos and Ron James take viewers on a journey along the UNESCO Rideau Canal with Le Boat, showcasing adventure, the thrill of fishing, and cruising in comfort. We go into the heart of what makes the Rideau Canal a treasure for both boaters and anglers, including spots like the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife, offering a fishing experience like no other.

Unveiling the angler's journey: Behind the scenes

From the first day of planning to the last take, we're in treats of unexpected delights. The crew's mission was to capture the canal's stunning beauty and the essence of fishing—embracing everything from misty mornings to soft afternoon rainstorms. The thrill of the catch and the beauty of the surroundings make this unique fishing vacation worth every moment. "It's the adventure, the shared laughs in the face of rain, and the triumph over each day's challenges that truly encapsulate the spirit of this journey," Jason Greentree, who is featured on the show and a former Le Boat staff member, reminisced. This behind-the-scenes peek doesn't just highlight our love for fishing on a boating vacation but celebrates the shared passion and the memorable experiences that define the essence of exploring the Rideau Canal with Le Boat. 

Discover the diverse fish of the Rideau Canal 

In the episode, Ron, Jason and Leo catch a variety of fish, highlighting the Rideau Canal's diverse fishing opportunities. Anglers can enjoy catching energetic largemouth and smallmouth bass, sleek northern pike, and fun panfish like crappies and bluegills. The canal is perfect for fishermen of all skill level where this inclusivity ensures that whether you're an experienced fisherman or simply looking for a leisurely day with your son, the canal offers a fitting for everyone. Additionally, we have a BBQ hot plate onboard and & campfires at some of the lock stations, so you can cook up your daily catch. 

Fishing, cruising, and unwinding: The Le Boat Rideau Canal experience 

The UNESCO World Heritage Rideau Canal with its wide-open lakes, winding rivers, and grassy wetlands, reveals a captivating blend of fishing excitement and serene cruising, showcasing why this journey is more than just an ordinary getaway. It's important to note that fishing in Canada requires a license, but they are easily obtained at local Canadian Tire stores.

Through the lens of Fish TV, we get an intimate look at what it's like to journey down the Rideau Canal on a Le Boat vacation. From exhilarating catches during the day to peaceful evenings on the deck, the episode captured the essence of what makes a vacation with Le Boat so special. 

Stay tuned for FISH TV’s adventure with Le Boat in the Camargue Region of France, which will air in September 2024.
