Our Story
After eight successful years of running the Bowmanville Tackle Swap and Fishing Show, organizers Kyle and Leanne Carruthers made the strategic decision to relocate the event to Peterborough. The move not only provided a larger venue, but also positioned the show in the heart of the Kawartha Lakes Region—recognized as one of Ontario’s premier fishing destinations.
With this change came a clear vision: to create an angling experience unlike any other. Following the overwhelmingly positive response to the 2022 Peterborough Fishing Show and growing demand for expansion, the team rebranded the event to what is now known as CANCAST—Canada’s Largest Fishing and Tackle Show.
Hosted across both the Memorial Centre and the Morrow Building, and connected by an expansive outdoor space, CANCAST offers more square footage than any other angling event in the country. With multiple entrances, advanced ticketing, and higher capacity limits, the show is designed to maximize consumer access—putting more anglers directly in front of your brand and products than ever before.
With 2026 being our 5 year anniversary in Peterborough we look forward to bringing you the biggest fishing event in Canada in collaboration with the Muskies Canada Muskie Odyssey!
