Did you know the freshwater lakes and rivers of Ontario’s Southwest offer some of Ontario’s best fishing? This region is home to some of the most renowned fisheries in North America. In the summer, this includes world-class musky and smallmouth bass fishing on Lake St. Clair and the famous abundance of walleye, yellow perch, and steelhead (rainbow trout) that can all be found on Lake Erie. Additionally, you may be able to catch walleye, chinook salmon, and pink salmon in Lake Huron. In the winter, Rondeau Bay is a great spot to ice fish for yellow perch, bluegill, pumpkinseed, northern pike, and crappie!
