FISHING No matter who you speak to, when the subject is freshwater fishing destinations in Canada, Sunset Country tops just about everyone’s list! We have over 70,000 lakes up here, more than you could fish in a lifetime and some lakes you’ll want to fish more than once. We have trophy-sized fish in large numbers, pike exceeding 30 pounds and 45 inches, walleye exceeding 12 pounds and 30 inches, lake trout again tipping the scale at 30+ pounds and bass approaching 6 or even 7 pounds. 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. You can rent a housekeeping cabin or get pampered at an American Plan lodge. In Sunset Country you can “own” a Canadian lake all to yourself when you stay at a fly-in outpost cabin. You can also rent a houseboat, stay in a campground or fish while on your canoe trip! FLY-IN ADVENTURES PADDLING With 70,000 lakes and rivers one can only imagine the paddling opportunities that we have to offer you here in Sunset Country. You can access famous canoe parks such as Quetico, Woodland Caribou and Wabakimi to name just a few. Full or partial outfitting packages – including trip guides – are available from our canoe outfitters. On some trips, you can fly in then paddle your way out! CABIN RENTALS As you take off from the surface of one of our lakes it won’t take you long to realize how exciting a fly-in fishing or hunting trip really is. You’ll be awestruck by the amount of lakes there are and the huge ridges and stands of boreal forest that line their shores. A fly-in trip gives the word “remote” a whole new meaning and it’s a trip that should be on any angler or hunter’s bucket list! Where else can you be the only person on a lake for the entire duration of your stay? On some days, the fishing is so good you’ll need to take a break between casts B
