Fishing Trent River

Flowing south from Rice Lake, the Trent River is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, a 386 km-long waterway first navigated by First Nations and later an important route for fur traders. Between the village of Hastings and the town of Campbellford, the river stretches 29 km (18 miles) before continuing south through Ferris Provincial Park and Percy Reach.

This historic river is abundant with walleye (pickerel), carp, muskie, panfish, pike, and small and largemouth bass. Don't hesitate to launch a boat, shore fish, or fly fish at the many conservation areas and near the locks! Children especially enjoy fishing for panfish an easy and delicious catch. Boat launches are conveniently located along the Trent in Campbellford, Hastings, Percy Boom, and Ferris Provincial Park. Docking facilities are located at Old Mill Park in Campbellford and reservations can be made through the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce.

During the winter months ice fish Percy Reach for walleye (pickerel), pike and panfish.  There are endless opportunities to fish the Trent River and its no wonder the Trent-Severn Waterway is one of the most fished in the province!

With many fishing resorts, cottages, camping areas and B&B's, the Trent River is an ideal waterside accommodation for any type of angler. Please remember to fish responsibly and have fun!
