Fishing Outfitters

My goal for this page is to list a variety of outfitters that are willing to work with disabled clients. Please keep in mind that these places are not completely set up for every disability. Make sure that you discuss any special accommodations that you require directly with the outfitter to ensure a good trip and a pleasurable experience.
If you are an outfitter who would like to be included in this page, please contact me. If you are disabled and have used an outfitter that you would like to recommend, please contact me as well at don@afarcry.info. Be aware that this list will not be complete, so contact me with any specific requests.

The club aims to provide an outdoor recreational activity for any disabled child, youth or adult, their families and caregivers on beautiful Rice Lake Ontario. We aim to break down the barriers that exist at this present time making the impossible possible for this great group of people who so often are excluded from many activities and outdoor fun due to accessibility.
