Northeastern Ontario

If you're looking for huge lake trout, monster northern pike, or record-class brook trout, Northeastern Ontario, with its countless lakes and rivers, is a great place to start. With boundaries that extend north to the James Bay lowlands and south to the popular waters of Georgian Bay and Manitoulin Island, there's a lifetime of new waters for the adventurous angler.

Inland from Parry Sound, Rainbow Country offers amazing fishing opportunities. Troll for a wide variety of cold- and warm-water game fish, including massive muskie and yard-long northern pike.

In Algonquin Provincial Park, there's plenty of brook and lake trout, as well as remarkable smallmouth bass fishing. And it's only matched by the serene charm of canoe routes connecting those wilderness waters. There are exceptional fly-fishing opportunities too. If you long to explore isolated and unspoiled habitat, here's a place where you'll find it.

Of course, a tour of this region would not be complete without visiting Georgian Bay. Killarney, a corner of Georgian Bay, has been a mecca for anglers for more than 150 years. Northern pike, muskie, and bass are the mainstays of this region.

Whether you prefer the solitude of being the only ice hut on the lake, or enjoy the company of dozens of other huts, Northeastern Ontario's lakes and rivers have it all. Small cottage resorts on pristine inland lakes offer peaceful ice fishing trips where the only real sign of life will come from the fish you pull from your ice holes. Or, you can try the world class fishery of North Bay's massive Lake Nipissing where walleye, perch and whitefish attract ice anglers from around the globe. Here, and on Lake Temagami - 90 minutes north, (home of monster lake trout) the ice fishing industry flourishes. Operators specialize in packages ranging from first class American Plan that includes premier accommodations, gourmet meals and daily trips to warm comfortable huts ... to more adventuresome "on ice bungalows" large enough to hold big groups where you cook, eat, sleep, watch TV and relax from your heated on-ice accommodations. These on-ice amenities enable you to enjoy great fishing without ever leaving the ice for your entire trip. Have you ever wanted to try fishing from your bed for that early morning walleye bite? If so, an on-ice bungalow adventure from northeastern Ontario awaits!

Whether savouring a delicious shore lunch or matching tackle with the heart-stopping excitement of a skyrocketing smallmouth, the Northeast is the place to fish!
