Our spring season is bear hunting only, with some fishing available.

Grew up in Nova Scotia, where I established my passion for the outdoors. I am a life long hunter, angler, and trapper. Began guiding professionally for Brook trout, Atlantic Salmon, and big game in 2022.

I am a full time big games and fly fishing guide all around Canada. Been in Alberta, Manitoba, Labrador, Newfoundland and Northern Quebec. Learned about hunting and fishing when I was 19 y/o and fell in love with it. My only passion now is to make clients appreciated this wilderness as much as I do and help them realise a fishing/hunting dream.

I grew up immersed in outdoor lifestyle on the island of Newfoundland and in goose bay Labrador working as a commercial fisherman in the summer and fall and dedicating all my off time to living an outdoor lifestyle harvesting big game, small game and fishing to live off the land and enjoying the surrounding mountains in the winter backcountry snowmobiling and splitboarding some of the most remote places in the province. In the 2024 season I made the leap to go fully into guiding full time for salmon and big game both on the island and in Labrador taking up any opportunity I can get to guide for a living showing people the beauty of our province.

Lucas Efford
I grew up very involved in an outdoor lifestyle on the island of Newfoundland as my father owned a very large outfitting company and I would dedicate my time working with him in the summer and fall and living an outdoor lifestyle, including hunting big game, fishing, snowmobiling, cutting firewood, etc… I just love the outdoors and being surrounded by mountains, forest and nature. I have enjoyed exploring some of Newfoundlands most remote areas and scenery.In the 2019 season shortly after I graduated high school I made the leap to go fully into guiding and outfitting with my father full time for big game and Brook trout both on the island and in Labrador taking up any opportunity to pursue a career in the outdoor industry and to guide for a living showing people from abroad all the beauties of the outdoors that Newfoundland and Labrador has to offer.

Xavier Maltais
I grew up with a passion for fly fishing and a deep admiration for the ecosystems that surround us. But from an early age, different shortcomings restricted my evolution through these ever-growing passions. However, these restrictions always pushed me to surpass myself, to work ever harder to achieve my goals. This stubbornness has enabled me to extend my ever-increasing passion to other related fields such as hunting. Today, I'm a 22 yo hunting and fishing guide, and my desire for self-fulfilment has been transformed into a desire to share my passion and knowledge with others.

Great Outfit To Guide For
Few friends guided for Effords, told me how adventurous of an outfit they had, so asked if they needed guides for the next season. Great decision, loved every minute.
