Walleye (Pickerel) Fishing
The walleye is Ontario's number one game fish. Besides being a lot of fun to catch, they taste great! Our walleye average from 16 to 22 inches in length but there are always several around 32 inches caught each season. These fish are accustomed to strong currents and offer a battle that will excite any fisherman. In the lakes, you'll find them just about everywhere. There is no need to travel to the other end of the lake for prime fishing. Some of our best evening fishing is within a 5 minute boat ride, and daytime hotspots are too numerous to mention.

A 3/8 ounce lead head jig with a rubber twister tail is your best bait for these fish. A slow presentation along the bottom in 8 to18 feet of water produces the majority of them. For those that like to troll, a perch colored Hot'n Tot is a favorite of many fishermen and has produced many trophy walleye. Check out our lake maps in this section for more details on the lake's best fishing spots.
