Thanks for stopping by my site! I’m Ashley Rae, a full-time multi-species angler located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I fell in love with the sport of fishing as a child and made the decision many years ago that I would somehow find a way to turn my passion into a career. Through an interesting and winding journey, I am grateful to now be fully self-employed doing what I love!
Over the past 10 years, I have shared my passion for fishing by sharing experiences, educating, and encouraging others to get out on the water. Some of the work I do includes:
- Writing informative blogs and articles for international websites and publications.
- Creating social media and video content for my own platforms, or to help my clients and partners include more fishing content within their social media channels.
- Hosting fishing seminars at trade shows and events.
- I also offer guided fishing trips & more!
- You can learn more about me here.

Recent Projects
Ontario’s Southwest Tourism Fishing Marketing Campaign
In 2021 and 2022, I travelled throughout Ontario’s Southwest to highlight and document the wide variety of fishing opportunities found in various communities throughout this region. From trolling for walleye on Lake Erie, to casting for pike and bass in Long Point Bay, and even ice fishing for panfish on Rondeau Bay – each experience was unique! These adventures were documented through video blogs, written blogs, and through my social media channels. You can check out the wide range of content created for this project here: https://www.ontariossouthwest.com/trip-inspiration/post/fishing-ontarios-southwest-with-ashley-rae/
