What You Can Expect on a Walleye Fishing Trip in Canada

 

So, you are going walleye fishing in Canada this year and have decided that your fishing trip will be in Ontario. Here is what you can expect.

You will see wildlife.

The top 10 animal species visitors see are:

  1. Common Loon
  2. Moose
  3. Woodland Caribou
  4. Bald Eagle
  5. Grey Wolf
  6. Beaver
  7. Canadian Lynx
  8. American White Pelican
  9. Peregrine Falcon
  10. Black Bear

There will be more than 2 species of game fish in your lake.

All these fish species are in Ontario lakes, not all lakes have all species. Your lake will have many of them.

  • Walleye
  • Northern Pike
  • Muskie
  • Bass (Large and Smallmouth)
  • Lake Trout
  • Sturgeon

There won’t be crowds of anglers on your lake.

Many lakes have very restricted access.

The rest are not crowded either.

You will catch some big fish.

Most of your catch will be ‘eater’ sized (1.5 to 3 pounds for walleye). Still great fun.

With a little practice, you can expect 22 inch to 25 inch walleye.

That 25 inch walleye will weigh about 6.35 pounds.

You will eat a Canadian shore lunch.

You eat what you catch, with fixings.

It is a thing here.

You will make memories to last a lifetime.

  • Glorious relief from stress
  • Camaraderie with buddies and other guests
  • Fun competition
