Northwestern Ontario Fishing Spots

Fly-in and drive-to adventures for serious anglers seeking wilderness solitude.

Northwestern Ontario — often called Sunset Country — is the ultimate destination for serious anglers. Lake of the Woods alone has over 14,000 islands and 65,000 miles of shoreline. Add Lac Seul, Eagle Lake, and Rainy Lake to the mix, and you have some of the most productive walleye and muskie waters in North America.
