FLY FISHING IN NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO
If you’re a fly angler, or angling to become one, you’ll appreciate Northeastern Ontario’s region’s sheltered lakes and rivers where you can escape wind and waves amongst picturesque islands.
Most species in our region can be caught on a fly rod; bass, walleye, pike, and muskie all enjoy streams of various sizes.
In the early spring, when the fly fishing season opens, is a great time to visit a lodge and a lake to yourself.
