Testimonials

"first cats out of the Old Town Predator 13 Angler! 16 channel cats from 6-14lbs. Tuesday was a great day indeed! I'm so lucky to be working with such knowledgeable guides. Jeff Wall of Nomad Adventures lives and breathes all thing fishing!!!" - Rob Dankowsky, host of Big City Fishing
"Had a great day on the water with Jeff.  We are rookie kayak fisherman and Jeff did an excellent job of teaching us the basics and helping us hook into some coho’s, lakers and even a brown trout.  We would not hesitate to go out with Jeff again or recommend his guiding service to others.  We are also looking forward to taking part in some of the Ontario Kayak Fishing Tournaments this summer."  - Mike, John & Sean.

"I have had the pleasure of fishing with Jeff Wall on a number of occasions this year chasing steelhead, brown trout and laker’s from the shores of Lake Huron to the mighty Niagara River whirlpool.  His knowledge and ability to read the water is top notch and his skills have always put me on fish.  The constant change of flow in the gorge and the shear volume of water is intimidating for the first timer, however, he provided me with the knowledge and confidence to break down the water and key in on the fish.  To his credit, I battled two of the hardest fighting steelhead I have caught to date.  I’ll be back."   - Mike Blumhagen

"I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Nomad!!! He dropped me an invite to this tourney and I am so glad that I could make it. 
Jeff hooked me up with an excellent kayak and proceeded to take me and another friend of his down the mighty Maitland. I had grown up as a young kid, fishing the Maitland and had never done anything but wade or fish from the banks. Jeff gave us excellent instruction on how to fish from a kayak and how to fish the Maitland for smallmouth bass. It has opened a whole new world to me!!!
The rest of the day was one of those days you dream of, I hooked, fought and released 10 of the meanest bass I have ever encountered.  We hooked several fish in the 18-20” plus range and the scenery was awe inspiring."    - Toonascott
