We also have super-sized muskie as there are fish that exceed 55 inches and weigh over 45 pounds swimming in our waters . Top it all off with exquisite brook trout , perch and crappie fishing and that explains why people call us Canada ’ s premier fishing destination !
We also have some of the nicest fishing accommodations you can find and there are a wide variety of trip options available . You can drive , boat or fly in to your fishing destination .
