Autumn in Northeastern Ontario is a paradise for anglers seeking both tranquillity and trophy catches. As the leaves transform and the boreal forest comes alive with colour, species such as bass, pike, and muskie become increasingly active, entering a feeding frenzy in preparation for winter. The region's welcoming fishing lodges are less crowded in the fall, offering value, opportunity, and adventure for anglers. Embracing the crisp air and breathtaking scenery, anglers can experience some of the year's most rewarding fishing adventures in Northeastern Ontario.
What Species Can I Fish in the Fall?
Smallmouth Bass
As water temperatures drop, smallmouth bass become aggressive, making them a popular choice for fall fishing in our region.
Northern Pike
Cooler waters bring these predators closer to shorelines and weed beds, offering opportunities for large catches.
Walleye
Known for their excellent table quality, walleye are active in the fall, particularly during early morning and evening hours.
Muskie
Fall is prime time for trophy muskie fishing, as they actively feed in preparation for winter.
Lake Trout
Found in deeper, colder waters, lake trout become more accessible in the fall as they prepare for spawning.
Brook Trout
These colourful fish are a favourite for anglers seeking action in pristine rivers and streams.
Crappie and Panfish
For lighter gear and steady action, panfish are abundant and fun to catch.
