It’s every fishermen’s fantasy…imagining a place where the fish are so bountiful that you could land one with every single cast that is made. For those anglers fortunate enough to make the equivalent of the sportsman’s pilgrimage to this North American country, they know that Canada has long been the acclaimed “fishing capital of the world” providing the rest of the world with the powerful attraction of adventure fishing tourism. Thousands of avid outdoor enthusiasts flock to this country annually for their chance to catch trophy fish.
Canada fishing tourism quite literally sets the world standard concerning freshwater fishing with thousands of wetlands, rivers, streams and lakes. Statistically, Canada boasts approximately 20% of the world’s freshwater resources. So, whether you prefer ice-fishing on a lake or fly fishing in a river, there are a plethora of fishing opportunities readily available around Ontario. Although many of the superior freshwater fishing destinations around the province are not accessible by the average car; aircrafts and all-terrain vehicles are some of the transportation options that are provided by many of the remote resorts.
Why Northwest Ontario Leads the Attraction of Adventure Fishing Tourism
Northwest Ontario is one of the most favored regions associated with Canada fishing tourism. This region is renown for spawning a variety of trophy fishing species including muskie, walleye, trout, pike, crappie and bass; this geographic sector includes the freshwater of Lake Superior, Sunset Country and Quetico Provincial Park. The Wildwood on Lake Savant is a popular resort in Northwest Ontario that has been featured on major cable television networks more than any other destination in the area due to its trophy fish gene pool.
The most difficult aspect of Canada fishing tourism may be narrowing down a specific region and resort to visit. Since some of these areas might experience too much fishing pressure, finding a remote resort that is not over-fished is recommended. If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of catching a fish on every cast, then consider reserving a fishing package at Wildewood on Lake Savant.
The Lake Savant fishery is a protected fishery that has been endorsed by many outdoor publications and radio talk shows.
