Ontario Guiding Services : :

Grindstone Outfitters has been a full time ontario guiding operation since 1993. The experience of our guides is second to none on south central Ontario's wilderness waterways.

Driftboat, walk and wade and float tubing trips are all available for trout, bass, steelhead and salmon.
