I have had the pleasure of knowing Steve Harrison for over twenty five years. My brother, Richard O'Ree (Coot) began the yearly tradition of taking his family fishing to Island Lake . Fortunately for me, I was introduced to Steve and thus the fishing tradition began for me as well. Island Lake is beautiful place surrounded by forest and wildlife. We would book our reservations around the middle of June with Steve. The rustic cook house and sleeping quarters are always very clean and comfortable. Steve's great hospitality always made us feel welcome year after year. I live in San Diego and look forward to getting back to Island Lake to fish with my home town buddies and of course coming home again to tell the fishing stories. To me, Island Lake is the best place to fish for Trout.

Testimonials From Our Valued Clientelle

 I have fished trout in seven provinces and eight countries and have fished at Island Lake for the last 18 years and currently fish there four times a year .It doesn't seem to matter what month its all fantastic-I have never found trout fishing anywhere that can match the fishing at Island Lake.The accommodations are comfortable and clean and while you are there with your party the entire lake is for your exclusive use .I had no idea that trout fishing could be this good; It's the best kept fishing secret in New Brunswick.
