My best fishing experience.

The guides name is Taro. He's the real deal and loves what he does and it shows.

We pulled in over 60 fish!!! And I don't even think that was a good day for this awesome Guide.

You'll Love it!

I was lucky enough to be able to head out with Taro while i was in Toronto. Travelling half way round the world from Australia i've always wanted to catch Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass. I was not disappointed with my full days guide with Taro. He got me onto the fish and was very friendly and plenty of laughs were had. He was willing to go with the flow and allowed me to try any technique i wanted to and always got me to areas that were productive. If your ever near Toronto and wanted a half day for full days guide I can highly recommend Fish City Tours. He taught me some new techniques that i can't wait to try on the species back home. We caught fish all day. If i'm every back in the Toronto area i will be definitely booking another tour with Taro.

I found Fish City Tours and Taro on social media and I decided to pull the trigger and hire him for a 5 hour charter. My wife and I had the pleasure of spending last sunday morning with Taro on Rice Lake while we DOMINATED THE WATER! Needless to say, I would recommend him and these are the top five reasons why:

1. He catered the experience to what we wanted
My wife and are are on different spectrums of fishing excellence and he was able to keep us both happy. He recognized that I wanted to really actively smash the fish, while my wife was content to bait drag, vertical jig and just chill. When my wife decided that she wanted to fish more actively, Taro taught her how to do that.

2. Taro is a Jedi Master, and a great teacher
He was able to teach my wife about the basics like casting, how to jig, how to set the hook and different things to expect while fishing. For me it was cool to pick his brain about what he is looking for in fishing spots. He was able to teach me concepts and techniques that I can use next time I go fishing. When I go fishing, i dont have a fish finder, GPS or all the other fancy electronics, but he showe me key things to look for.

3. He knows what he is talking about
To be a good teacher you have to have a to know what you are talking about, and Taro knows! There was a point where during the day where I just lost a fish, and after that the fishing slowed for a bit. So he made an adjustment, and on the first cast after it was FISH ON!

4. He puts you on Fish!
As I said earlier, we were on the water for 5 hours and in that time I caught 25 plus fish. Honestly I lost count after 15. The action didn't start out so hot, so we tired different presentations, baits/ lures. Once he found the pattern, it was lights out!

5. He is an overall good Dude!
Taro is easy to get a long with. He kept the vibe on the boat light and he took time to get to know my wife and I. He talked about his wife and his kids, his love for Nike's and shared a few fish stories. He is definitely a people person.

I have been on other fishing charters with different guides and companies over the last couple of years and by far, this one was the best. I will defintely recomend Fish City Tours and I will be booking again.
