IN SUNSET COUNTRY In Sunset Country, you can fly, drive, or boat-in to your cabin and start your fishing adventure. Our member outfitters are experts, ensuring your fishing experience is unforgettable.

10 | 2025 Sunset Country Guide

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

PIKE

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.

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 WALLEYE RECORD: Weight: 22.25lbs | Length: 36.5in | Girth: 21.0in Caught by Patrick Noon on May 26, 1943

ONTARIO NORTHERN PIKE RECORD: Weight: 42.12lbs Caught by Harry Bell on July 14, 1946

BASS

MUSKIE

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.

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 SMALLMOUTH BASS RECORD: Weight: 9.84lbs | Length: 24in | Girth: 18.3in Caught by Andy Anderson on September 26, 1954

ONTARIO MUSKIE RECORD: Weight: 65lbs | Length: 58in | Girth: 30.5in Caught by Kenneth O'Brien on October 16, 1988

TROUT

CRAPPIE & PERCH

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.

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 LAKE TROUT RECORD: Weight: 63.12lbs | Length: 51.5in | Girth: 32.8in Caught by Hubert Hammers on May 25, 1952

ONTARIO CRAPPIE RECORD: Weight: 3.78lbs | Length: 17in | Girth: 16.5in Caught by Charles Sherrill on May 10, 1986

Shore Lunch:

Photo: Lindner Media and Manotak Lodge

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!

12 | 2025 Sunset Country Guide

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!

SCENIC BOAT TOUR

THE BEACH

SHORE LUNCH

Enjoy a guided boat tour to see the beauty of the lakes and forests from the water. Many lodges and local tour companies offer family-friendly boat excursions, where guides share insights into the area’s history, geology, and wildlife. Some tours even stop at hidden beaches or fishing hotspots.

Many lakes in Sunset Country have sandy beaches perfect for swimming, sandcastle building, and relaxation.

The clear freshwater lakes are perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day, and some beaches in the communities have playgrounds or picnic areas to extend your day of fun.

Nothing beats the thrill of a classic Canadian shore lunch! After a morning of fishing, gather by the lakeshore to clean and cook your fresh catch together, sharing “fish tales” as the meal sizzles. Teach your grandkids the skill of filleting—an experience they’ll always remember and a skill that lasts a lifetime.

FISH TOGETHER

CANOE ADVENTURE

Fishing in Sunset Country is a rite of passage. With countless lakes and expert guides, this is the perfect place to introduce your grandkids to the joys of casting a line.

The thrill will be unforgettable, whether it’s their first fish or their biggest catch.

Teach your grandkids the basics of paddling as you navigate calm lakes and winding rivers. Canoeing is a peaceful way to appreciate the natural beauty of Sunset Country, and it’s also a great workout.

Rentals are available at many lodges and parks, and there are guided options, too, for those new to the activity.

LOCAL MUSEUM

FLOAT PLANE

Visit one of Sunset Country’s local museums or cultural centers for some history and culture. Learn about Indigenous heritage, early settlers, or local wildlife.

Museums offer hands-on exhibits that are fun and educational, making them a great option for rainy days.

A float plane flight over Sunset Country is an unforgettable adventure to share with your grandkids. From high above, you’ll marvel at sparkling lakes, winding rivers, and endless forests, giving kids a thrilling new perspective on nature. Taking off and landing on water is pure excitement, and spotting wildlife from the sky makes it an unforgettable memory you’ll all cherish.

CAMPFIRE NIGHT

NORTHERN LIGHTS

EXPLORE NATURE

Build a campfire by the lake, toast marshmallows, and share stories under the stars. Grandkids will love hearing family tales or local legends as the campfire crackles.

A cozy campfire night is the perfect way to wind down after a day of adventures.

On clear nights, the sky over Sunset Country offers incredible stargazing, and with some luck, you might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Bring a blanket, lie back, and let the kids enjoy the magic of a starry sky.

Sunset Country is rich with scenic trails for all experience levels. These trails lead through forests, along lake shores, and to incredible viewpoints. Some trails even offer educational signposts, providing a learning experience for curious young minds.

ICE FISHING

SNOWMOBILING Photo: Temple Bay Lodge

Photo: Mike Starratt

With vast wilderness and well-maintained trails, Sunset Country is a snowmobiler’s dream. OFSC District 17 volunteer clubs groom kilometers of trails with minimal traffic, offering a smooth and peaceful ride through beautiful landscapes.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING Several towns, including Rainy River, Red Lake, Dryden, Kenora, and Fort Frances, have groomed ski trails for all levels. Plan a weekend trip and discover great skiing along with warm hospitality.

Photo: Stacey Greer

SKIING & SNOWBOARDING When the lakes freeze, the fishing heats up in Sunset Country! Enjoy world-class ice fishing for lake trout, walleye, pike, and panfish. 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!

Local outfitters and guides are available to help you find the best spots and provide cozy accommodations after a day on the ice. Between January and March, the fish taste even better fresh from the icy waters.

20 | 2025 Sunset Country Guide

While Sunset Country isn’t a major downhill destination, it has fun hills for skiing, snowboarding, and sledding.

Mount Evergreen Ski Hill in Kenora, along with slopes in Dryden, Atikokan, and Thunder Bay, offer hours of winter fun.

SEASONS

SPRING

SUMMER

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.

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.

FALL

WINTER

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.

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.
