Ontario Fisherman
| Lake Nipissing has long been recognized as one of Canada's best multi-species fishing lakes - no matter the season. From the May season opener, through the summer, fall and winter months - something is always "on the bite" at Lake Nipissing. The big lake provides great fishing for Ontario's most popular sportfish - walleye, jumbo yellow perch, musky, northern pike, smallmouth bass, whitefish - as well as a variety of panfish and alternate species. |

The mid-May walleye opener kicks off the fishing season and limit catches are the norm, not the exception. An ambitious walleye stocking program and the implementation of a "release slot" have created bountiful walleye stocks and great fishing. more ...
The fishing for jumbo yellow perch at Lake Nipissing is also incredible - from opening day through mid-June. The perch fishing here rivals that at the Atherly Narrows in spring. No, it's better because there are walleyes and northern pike as well. more ... |
As summer approaches, walleyes move out onto mid-lake humps and shoals, around island clusters, and over the Waltonian Reef. Nipissing jigs (jigs with stinger hook), live-bait, snelled, slip and spinner rigs tipped with worms seem always to tempt Nipissing walleyes. more ...
Generally overlooked, the smallmouth bass fishing on Lake Nipissing can be fast and furious. Shorelines, island saddles, rocky points, shoals, sharp dropoffs and weedbeds hold numbers of bass that have never been fished. more ... |

Fall is the absolute best time to tackle Nipissing's world-class muskies - fish up to 60 inches / 60 pounds. Big plugs (e.g. Hi-Fins) cast or trolled across shoals, rocky points, island saddles, and submerged weedbeds are your best bet for a trophy. more ... |
Lake Nipissing has few, if any rivals when it comes to ice fishing for walleye, perch, pike, whitefish, lake herring, and burbot / ling. So good is the winter fishing here that entire on-ice communities - lean-to's, tents, ice huts, even overnight accommodations - are scattered about the lake. more ... |
