01 — About

The brief.

BAER Fishing Adventures, founded in 2014 by owner Barna Robinson and based at St. Williams, Ontario, runs guided fishing trips on Long Point Bay of Lake Erie and rivers including the Grand, Saugeen, Credit and Bronte, plus Waterford Ponds and Deer Creek. Anglers fish from Hobie kayaks, a Robalo bay boat, a drift boat, river kayaks, or by walking and wading shorelines for migratory trout and salmon. Lead guide Robert Maerz manages bookings, and guides hold SVOP, MED-A3, Restricted Radio and First Aid certifications. The team promotes catch-and-release on rivers and selective harvest on the Great Lakes and ocean, and offers learn-to-fish lessons and multi-day trips with referrals to local lodging.
