TJ LeClair on the water in Muskoka
I’m TJ LeClair, and I’ve been fishing for over 25 years. Growing up with a family cottage in Muskoka, I’ve spent time fishing these lakes since I was a young kid.
Bass fishing is my specialty, particularly finding and targeting big fish. Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated myself to studying fishing techniques, understanding fish behaviour, and developing the skills that help me adapt on the water.
In 2027, I’m turning that lifelong passion into my first professional guiding season. I welcome everyone—from kids picking up a rod for the first time to experienced anglers looking to chase giants.
Some guests want a relaxed day on the lake. Others want to work on a specific technique or pursue their next personal best. Whatever brings you aboard, my aim is to make the trip enjoyable, share what I’ve learned, and give you practical knowledge to take into your own fishing.
