Hey there! My name’s Ethan, and I’m the owner of Outdoors Unbound, a fly fishing guide service based in the Barrie, Ontario area.
What started as a simple fishing hobby grew into a deep appreciation for fly fishing and the traditional skills behind it.
Over the years, I’ve learned that fly fishing is about far more than just catching fish—it’s about understanding the water, the fish you’re targeting, and the environment they live in.
At Outdoors Unbound, we focus on beginner fly fishing instruction and guided fly fishing trips that go beyond the basics. We teach anglers how to read water, understand fish behavior, and choose the right flies based on conditions. A good angler knows where fish are. A great angler knows why they’re there.
Fly fishing is an immersive outdoor experience that connects you to the river, the forest, and the natural food chain that supports healthy fisheries. That connection has a way of slowing things down, helping you unplug from everyday life and return home with a renewed appreciation for the outdoors.
If you’re new to fly fishing or looking for a supportive, hands-on guided experience, a trip with Outdoors Unbound may be exactly what you need.
