My Story

Meet Ethan

Hello, I’m Ethan Carr. I’ve had the privilege of growing up on the best smallmouth bass fishery in the world—the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. I take pride in learning everything I can about this incredible fishery. I'm a passionate tournament angler with aspirations of one day competing in the Bassmaster Elite Series, and I work full-time as a fishing guide whenever the water is open and the snow is gone.

My Mission

My mission is to tailor each trip to your goals, whether you're chasing a new personal best or looking to understand what makes smallmouth bass tick. Every outing is built around your experience level and interests, ensuring you walk away with not just great memories, but valuable knowledge. From advanced techniques to simple fundamentals, I’m here to help you grow as an angler while having an unforgettable day on the water.
