fishing destinations in Ontario for families to unwind and relax.

rivers and stream. Walleye, Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Perch, Whitefish and
Bass.
With 250,000 inland lakes, hundreds of rivers
and shorelines on four of the five Great Lakes, Ontario offers many kinds of
fishing experiences. Though probably best known for its muskellunge waters and
walleye (pickerel) fishery, Ontario is home to an astounding 158 of Canada's
228 species of freshwater fish. Here are some of the species you can find in
Temagami and Marten River waters.

Temagami
Walleye Fishing › The walleye is the most sought after fish in
Temagami and Marten River area. Its thick, white fillets, handsome shape and
coloring, and elusive nature make it the ultimate prize among Ontario anglers.
The average walleye caught and kept is about 14 inches long and weighs slightly
more than 1 pound. The walleye is named for its pearlescent eye, which is
caused by a reflective layer of pigment, called the tapetum lucidum, that helps
it see and feed at night or in murky water.
Walleye Ontario Record 22.25 lbs.
Temagami
Northern Pike Fishing › This voracious predator is one of the
easiest fish to catch in Temagami and Marten River area because it so willingly
bites lures or bait. What's more, northerns produce chunky white fillets that
many anglers say taste as good as walleyes. Most northerns caught by fishing
run 2 to 3 pounds, though trophies over 20 pounds are caught each year in the
Temagami area lakes. A close cousin to the muskellunge, the northern pike lives
in nearly all of Ontario's lakes and streams.
Northern Pike Ontario Record 42.12 lbs.
Temagami
Smallmouth Bass Fishing › Some of the finest smallmouth fishing in
the world takes place right here in Temagami Ontario. Often encountered in
schools, Ontario's bronzebacks are found throughout most of the province. Many
Temagami lakes offer the ultimate trophy smallmouth fishing - where fish over 4
pounds are common. Others provide anglers with quantities of 2 and 3 pound
fish. Whatever your choice, Temagami's smallies are still pound for pound and
inch for inch, the fightingest fish that swims in fresh water.
Smallmouth Bass Ontario Record 9.84 lbs.
Guided
Largemouth Bass Fishing › Largemouth are found throughout southern
Ontario and even in parts further north. Largemouth bass are most active from
early summer to early autumn. Canadian largemouth may not grow to world-record
size, yet the sheer number of 2-6 pounders in many water bodies more than makes
up for it. They can typically be found in areas rich in aquatic plants, as well
as in areas that have a lot of flooded stumps, logs, standing timber, and
brush. Often overlooked by local anglers, there are many parts of the province
where big bucketmouths rarely see a lure. When they see yours - be prepared for
a bone-jarring strike!
Largemouth Bass Ontario Record 10.43
lbs.
Muskellunge
Fishing › Ontario's muskie fishing is so phenomenal, that it is not
a question of whether Ontario will produce the next world record, but exactly
when and where in the province it will happen. World-class fish are caught
every year from several water bodies. In other areas not known for producing
record-breaking fish (just incredible numbers of 10-30 pound fish), seasoned
muskie anglers just laugh when they hear their favorite gamefish referred to
"as the fish of a thousand casts". Careful management utilizing high minimum
size limits, very low possession limits and a strong catch and release ethic
among anglers, will help Ontario remain as the world's premier muskie
destination.
Muskellunge Ontario Record 65 lbs.
Temagami
Yellow Perch Fishing › This tasty panfish is everywhere in Marten
River and Temagami area lakes. Whether you like to relax in a boat fishing with
the family on a hot sunny day, or gaze through a hole in the ice waiting for
another big one, Ontario's perch fishing is second to none. Yellow perch
average 6-8 inches in many of the smaller water bodies; in larger lakes jumbos
in the 11-13 inch range are plentiful.
Yellow Perch Ontario Record 2.25 lbs.
Black Crappie
Fishing › Once found only in certain limited waterbodies in southern
and northwestern Ontario, the black crappie's range is now spreading faster
than any other fish species in the province. A fast growing, delicious panfish,
the number of one pound slabs that swim our waters is simply mind-boggling!
Black Crappie Ontario Record 3.78
lbs.
Temagami
Lake Trout Fishing › With so many deep, cold, clean Temagami lakes,
it is no wonder that Ontario boasts some of the finest lake trout fishing in
the world. In fact, we have more than 2,000 lake trout lakes - more than
anywhere else on the planet. Small inland lakes typically produce fish in the
3-6 pound range, yet even here much larger trout are taken regularly. Larger
lakes and the Great Lakes regularly yield brutes of 20 pounds or more.
Lake Trout Ontario Record 63.12
lbs.
Temagami
Brook Trout Fishing › As a rule, not many anglers around the world
can consistently measure their speckled or brook trout `by-the pound'. In parts
of Ontario however, rules were made to be broken! Here, anglers consider a two
or three pound brookie as just "another nice fish". With their delicate
markings and brilliant hues, brook trout are often considered the most
beautiful of all freshwater gamefish. Brook trout are widely distributed
throughout the province - in small streams of the south, in cold, small lakes
of central Ontario and in brawling rivers of the north. Whether you like to
toss a fly to a brookie that will be measured in inches, or cast a spinner to
one challenging our own 14.50 pound world record, Ontario is the place for you!
Brook Trout Ontario Record 14.50 lbs.

Chinook Salmon Fishing › Ontario's side of the Great Lakes produces
world-class salmon fishing on the doorstep of Canada's most populated
metropolitan region - the Greater Toronto Area. To fish the Great Lakes you can
haul your own big-water boat, or use the services and expertise of an
experienced charter boat captain. Millions of salmon stocked into Great Lakes
waters every year help to maintain this outstanding fishery.
Chinook Salmon Ontario Record 45.38 lbs.
Temagami
Whitefish Fishing › If walleye are at one end of the popularity
scale, then whitefish are at the other. Why? We really don't know! Whitefish
are found across the province, they fight hard when taken from either open
water or through the ice, and they taste absolutely fantastic! Throughout much
of Ontario whitefish remains an underutilized species. Limits vary, from as low
as 2 in parts of the south to as high as 25 in much of the north. Sizes may
average a couple of pounds in most waters yet certain lakes are prime to break
the next world record - Ontario's current 14.77 pounder! Of course these are
not the only species of fish available to anglers in Ontario. There are also
big brown trout, coho salmon, bountiful bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish, rock
bass, catfish, carp, cisco and more.
Lake Whitefish Ontario Record 14.77

Ice Fishing in Temagami ›
Equipment Rental Fishing Licenses While the lakes may be covered with ice and
snow, plenty of fish are hungry and waiting to grab hold of one of your fishing
lures. This is the best time of the year to go after trout, as they are now at
depths that can easily be reached with "standard" equipment. The walleye,
northern and crappie fishing can be equally as exciting and productive. Many of
the lakes that usually are too difficult to get into in the summer are now
easily reached by snowmobile, snowshoes, cross-country skis or even a sled dog
team. You can break your own trail or travel on any number of well-groomed or
packed routes. Your fishing trip can be as comfortable or as rugged as you
like. Many people combine winter camping with an extended trip out onto their
favorite Ely area lake. Others prefer day trips in the comfort of a heated fish
house and at the end of the day they relax in the comfort of their room or
cabin.
