CATCH MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES IN A SINGLE DAY
One of the best things about fishing in Sunset Country is the variety. Start your day with walleye or panfish for a shore lunch, then chase trophy pike, muskie, or trout in the afternoon, and finish with feisty bass in the evening. Or stick to walleye all day— the choice is yours!
WALLEYE
Walleye are the main draw for many anglers, known for their excellent taste and abundance in our lakes. These fish have a striking gold color, sometimes with a green or blue tint. Jigging with live bait at 20 to 30 feet is a reliable method, though they also go for a variety of artificial lures.
ONTARIO WALLEYE RECORD:
PIKE
Northern pike are known for being big and fierce, earning their reputation as top predators in many lakes. Some can reach over 45 inches and 30 pounds. Anglers love using large jerk baits or spoons near rock piles, sunken timber, or weed lines. When a big one strikes, make sure you’ve got a strong leader!
ONTARIO NORTHERN PIKE RECORD:
Weight: 22.25lbs | Length: 36.5in | Girth: 21.0in
Caught by Patrick Noon on May 26, 1943
BASS
Sunset Country is home to both smallmouth and largemouth bass, though smallies are more common. Known for their fight, they offer a wild and exciting catch. Use spinner baits, plugs, raps, or plastic lures. If they’re finicky, try a tube jig. Smallmouth can reach up to 6 pounds, with largemouth growing even larger.
ONTARIO SMALLMOUTH BASS RECORD:
Weight: 9.84lbs | Length: 24in | Girth: 18.3in
Caught by Andy Anderson on September 26, 1954
TROUT
Sunset Country’s clear, deep lakes in the Canadian Shield provide some of the best lake trout fishing in North America. After ice-out, you can spin cast for trout in shallow water, but most of the time, they’re deeper. Down rigging or drop-shotting are effective techniques. Northern rivers here also offer native brook trout.
ONTARIO LAKE TROUT RECORD:
Weight: 42.12lbs
Caught by Harry Bell on July 14, 1946
MUSKIE
For dedicated muskie hunters, Sunset Country is the ultimate destination. These top predators are not only abundant, but super-sized. In some lakes, it’s rare to catch one under 45 inches, and on a good day, you might reel in a monster over 50 inches. There’s nothing like landing a giant muskie here!
ONTARIO MUSKIE RECORD:
Weight: 65lbs | Length: 58in | Girth: 30.5in
Caught by Kenneth O'Brien on October 16, 1988
CRAPPIE & PERCH
Though Sunset Country isn’t widely known for panfish, our crappie and perch fishing rivals the best. Black crappie can reach up to 3 pounds and are excellent eating. Try jigging for them in spring, fall, or even through the ice—once you find them, you’ll catch plenty! Perch are abundant and easy to catch.
ONTARIO CRAPPIE RECORD:
Weight: 63.12lbs | Length: 51.5in | Girth: 32.8in
Caught by Hubert Hammers on May 25, 1952
Weight: 3.78lbs | Length: 17in | Girth: 16.5in
Caught by Charles Sherrill on May 10, 1986
Shore Lunch:
A TRUE CANADIAN EXPERIENCE
In Sunset Country, you can pull up to a rugged, scenic shoreline for the ultimate shore lunch. It’s a cherished tradition here—and best of all, it’s delicious!
Photo: Lindner Media
SHORE LUNCH IN SUNSET COUNTRY
BY JEFF GUSTAFSON GUSSYOUTDOORS.COM
In Northwest Ontario, shore lunch is a must for many anglers. After catching fresh fish, pulling up to a scenic shoreline for a meal is a tradition everyone loves. As someone who’s cooked over 500 shore lunches since I started guiding on Lake of the Woods at 14, I can say it’s always a hit—and I’ve never left without overeating!
KEY TIPS FOR A GREAT SHORE LUNCH:
• Make sure there are no bones in the fish.
• Ensure the oil is hot enough by doing a drop test—look for nice bubbles.
• Avoid cooking directly on the beach to keep sand out of your meal.
For a simple, tasty batter:
1. Dip the fish in flour.
2. Coat it with egg.
3. Cover it in cornflake crumbs.
4. After frying, sprinkle lemon pepper for extra flavour.
Round out the meal with potatoes, beans, corn, fresh veggies, and bread. Pro tip: Make a checklist before heading out—don’t forget essentials like oil, utensils, and seasonings!

Winter fish movements are predictable, making it easier to find a good spot. Once you’re on the fish, the action is non-stop, and you’ll hardly notice the cold!

SEASONS
SPRING
As snow and ice melt, green grass and budding trees signal the arrival of spring. Wildlife, like newborn fawns, start to appear. Late-season ice fishing is a great way to enjoy the warmth of the spring sun, and ice-out trout fishing is some of the best you’ll find.
FALL
Fall brings stunning colors as the leaves turn. Cooler temperatures make it ideal for hiking, paddling, and sitting around a campfire. The fish become more active, with crappie, bass, walleye, and muskie fishing at its peak. Fall is also prime time for bear, moose, grouse, and deer hunting.
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Weather in Sunset Country can vary, but here’s a general guide to help you plan your visit and pack accordingly.
SUMMER
Summer is perfect for water sports, swimming, and relaxing on the beach. The lakes warm up by mid-June, and the fishing remains excellent, though the fish move to different spots. Enjoy long, sunny days filled with fishing, kayaking, camping, and watching beautiful sunsets. Many major events happen between May and September.
WINTER
By late November or early December, snow blankets the ground, and once the lakes freeze, it’s time for snowmobiling and ice fishing. Trout season kicks off in January, and despite the cold, winter is packed with activities like ice fishing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and more.
