Send us a textWaterfowl hunting reaches its fullest expression when experienced with great people in stunning locations, pursuing wild birds with passion and respect. Few understand this better than Liam Fraser, founder of Coastal Creek Lodge and our featured guest.At just 25 years old, Liam brings wisdom beyond his years to the guiding profession. Growing up on the water in Nova Scotia, he discovered early that waterfowl hunting offered something special – what he calls "the fishing of hunting," where camaraderie and shared experiences often outshine the harvest itself. "You can be cooking breakfast in the blind, all talking and laughing," he explains, describing the social dynamic that pulls many away from the solitary deer stand.Liam's journey took a pivotal turn when Northern Skies Outfitters in Saskatchewan gave him his first professional guiding opportunity. With refreshing honesty, he admits arriving with confidence that quickly transformed into humility. "I thought I was good at killing birds, I thought I could blow a call," he reflects, "but when you get out there, you realize the true level you need to be at." This apprenticeship shaped his understanding of not just hunting tactics, but client relationships and service excellence.Now operating Coastal Creek Lodge along Nova Scotia's north shore, Liam leverages the region's geography – "one of the first landing spots as birds start migration" – to provide exceptional hunting for Canada geese, black ducks, mallards, and sometimes surprises like snow geese. The operation reflects his values: customer-first service, conservation through their hen house project, and a commitment to putting hunters on birds rather than just in fields.Whether you're pursuing trophy black ducks from his comfortable rustic cabins or watching his Chesapeake Bay Retriever work with focused intensity, a hunt with Liam delivers the complete waterfowl experience. Ready to discover what makes Atlantic Canada a waterfowl paradise? Reach out to Coastal Creek Lodge – where passion meets professionalism on every hunt.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.
