About | Wood Angling Fishing Guide

I’m Miles, a fishing guide specializing in Lake Simcoe, Muskoka Lakes, Georgian Bay and the Nottawasaga Watershed. I’m a McGill graduate and worked in the restaurant business before i began guiding full time in 2024. Childhood drive-to and fly-in adventures sparked my passion for fishing and I was hooked early on casting for smallmouth and pike. Now, my goal is to share that same excitement for the sport and appreciation of Ontario’s natural world with every guest.

Over the past four years I’ve guided anglers for bass, perch, trout, pike, and walleye, helping guests learn techniques, create memories and land trophy fish.
