Meet Your Kawartha Fishing Guide
Bobby Belmonte
I own and operate 2B Fishing Guiding Service. I have been in the Ontario fishing industry for 15+ years; fishing tournaments, working as a product specialist at Peterborough Pro Tackle, assisting different companies at trade shows and basically living and breathing fishing. I also have diploma’s from Fleming College in Fish & Wildlife and Aquaculture.
My experience on several lakes located in the Kawartha Lakes area includes targeting multiple different species of sport fish; from simple panfish to the “fish of 10,000 casts”, the muskie.
My mission is to provide guests with a memorable day on the water and a chance at their new personal best catch! All while spending the day on a loaded 2022 Ranger bass boat on one of the beautiful Kawartha Lakes.

Trip Planning Details:
Location & Species: 2B Fishing has experience on many different bodies of water located in the Kawartha Lakes region and its surrounding area. Specific bodies of water will be recommended depending on seasonal
regulations or professional recommendation. Trips can be customized to fit each customers wants and needs regarding location and target species. Some of the lakes fished regularly are Rice Lake, Buckhorn Lake, Pigeon Lake, Sturgeon Lake, Balsam Lake, Lower Buckhorn Lake, Seymour Lake, Crowe Lake.
Packing: Guests should pack appropriate outdoor clothing for the time of year (rain gear, sunglasses, coat, etc.) as well as any desired food or drink they require for the outing. Absolutely no drugs or alcohol is allowed on the watercraft at all times. Smoking and Vaping is fine.
Rods & Tackle: All rod set-ups and baits will be provided by the guide; however guests are welcomed to bring some equipment of their own if they’d like. We enjoy teaching guests new techniques that they can
use themselves in the future as well as exposing them to high end tackle components.
Species & Release: Trips planned for Muskie are catch and release ONLY. Pike, small bass, legal slot-sized walleye and panfish can be harvested within legal limits if desired. However, 2B Fishing highly supports
and encourages full catch and release angling to aid in the preservation of fish populations in the Kawartha Lakes.
License: All guests between the ages 18-65 are required to provide their own Ontario Fishing License and Outdoors Card that can be purchased online. Electronic copies off of a phone are accepted by local authorities.
Payment: A $50 deposit per day is required prior to the outing via E-transfer to reserve your booking. The remaining balance is paid in cash at the end of the trip. If a trip is cancelled due to weather,
a new date will be scheduled with no additional deposit. Deposits are refundable if a trip cannot be rescheduled during the current season.
