Where would you suggest I go to do some fishing in the Kensington area? Thank You.

Hi Terry,

Although I haven't gone fishing since I was a child, here is some information that you may find helpful.

Most of Prince Edward Island is privately owned so you should ask for permission from the landowner before you cross private lands. Public lands provide public access to angling spots unless the property is otherwise posted.

The PEI Fishing Locations Map (4M) illustrates freshwater fishing locations with public access. The Popular Saltwater Fishing Locations page can be used to find coastal areas to fish for mackerel, flounder and striped bass.

The 2021 Extended Angling Season for Rainbow Trout map  (1.1M) provides a general outline of participating rivers. For more detailed information on each river and pond, please consult the links listed below.
