Fishing near Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
Charlottetown sits on Queens County's north shore at the confluence of the Hillsborough, North, and West rivers, where tidal estuaries meet Hillsborough Bay. The city waterfront and nearby wharves produce mackerel and striped bass in summer, while the Hillsborough River is a well-known striper fishery right through the city. Inland, PEI's network of brook trout streams fans out across all three counties, with the Morell, Dunk, and Winter rivers among the most productive on the island.
