Ontario, Canada, has some of the best freshwater fishing lakes in Canada. With over 400,000 lakes, rivers, and streams, Ontario provides a perfect opportunity to catch walleye, muskie, northern pike, and salmon. The province will test your fishing skills and provides a challenge for even the seasoned fisherman.
Lake Savant
When you are trying to find the best walleye, northern pike and lake trout trophy fishing lakes in Ontario, you need to focus your search towards the depth of the lake and a smaller population of predators. Lake Savant provides the best environment for fishing lakes with deep clear waters. It is nearly 52 miles long, 305 feet deep and has over 800 miles of shoreline.
Crow Lake
This Lake is also known as Kakagi Lake; it has an average depth of 68 feet and is roughly 15 miles long. It is best known for its lake trout fishing, but the lake is also known for its northern pike, small mouth bass, and lake whitefish. Crow Lake is seen as a challenge for many who come to fish in its waters, due to the fact that the lake is not charted and you must proceed with caution if you wish to boat here.
Lake Nipigon
Nicknamed ‘The Sixth Great Lake’, it covers a total area of 1,872 miles, which is the largest lake in Ontario. Weedy bays and sunken reefs provide the perfect place for walleyes to gather and many fishermen who have visited the area have met their 100 walleyes-in-a-day goal. Fishermen have caught and released so many fish it is now considered a barbless hook only lake.
Little Jackfish River
Due to a hydroelectric power project on this river it has become a walleye fishing lakes dream. The Ogoki Diversion that was constructed in the 1940s established Little Jackfish Dam, this dam does not allow walleyes to move out of the Lake Nipigon area. There is a massive effort to monitor and enhance walleye spawning in the river, it is because of these efforts that access to fish the river may be restricted.
