We were honored to be featured in this article for Northern Ontario Travel Magazine in the May 2025 edition.  Our good friend Pete Bowman came to visit us to film another episode of his Fish n’ Canada Tv Show & we managed to get quite a few nice fish on our lines.  The article goes […]

We hosted Paul Beasley and his crew from Canada in the Rough at Merland Park mid February. We had a fun-filled day of ice fishing as they were in search for those big walleye that our area is known for.  It was a great winter adventure filled with fishing and lunch on the ice!  We […]

Out on the ice for 5 hours & caught 10 jumbo perch & these two beautiful pike. Pete caught most of the fish on the VMC Tingler – perch color and tipped with a minnow.  Great day outdoors!

In November, there was a great article on the Fish’n Canada website posted by Pete Bowman and he had nothing but good things to say about Merland Park! We have known Pete for years and love having him stay with us and always really appreciate his shout-outs.

It was a gamble Pete would never […]

Since 2002, Patrick Campeau, from Le Journal de Montreal, has been coming to Picton and staying at Merland Park.  In the early years, he remembers the fishing being nothing less than miraculous. “I remember, among other things, a four-day excursion where we fished 43 Walleye over 4.5 kg.”  Patrick went out with fishing guide, Pierre […]

In December, Mike Miller and the crew from Angler & Hunter Television were at Merland Park filming an episode.  It is always a pleasure to have Mike at the Park.

Jeff Simpson from In-Fisherman TV was at Merland Park filming for three days. The first two days we were blown off the water with 60 km winds and then we hit a home run with 1/2 hr before having to go back in. We caught five walleye. An 11 1/2 pounder and a 12 1/2 […]
