That’s fall fishing in Nova Scotia.

As the season winds down, take in the colours, enjoy the quiet moments, and handle and release Atlantic Salmon with care.

One last weekend. One more chance to wet a line. 🎣🍂

As the regular brook trout season winds down, the participants of Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) Nova Scotia are making the most of the days that remain.
BOW is a hands-on, welcoming program that helps participants build confidence and learn the skills to enjoy the outdoors, from fishing and hunting to camping and more.

No experience necessary, just a willingness to get outside and give it a try.
Fish Nova Scotia is proud to support BOW Nova Scotia and the work they’re doing to help more participants discover the outdoors, build new skills and create their own fishing stories.

Here’s to making the most of the last weekend of brook trout season. 🍂🎣

From a rugged coastline stretching beyond the horizon to quiet lakes tucked beneath a canopy of colour and rivers winding through the heart of the province, fall is one of the best times to explore Nova Scotia by water.

Bring the boat. Bring your people. Chase the changing colours and stay out for one more cast.

Thousands of kilometres of coastline. Countless lakes and rivers. One unforgettable fall.
