Some lakes have depths of over 200 feet and hold some of the largest stock of lake trout in Ontario. Speckle, brown, brook and rainbow trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, splake, salmon, whitefish and sturgeon are also plentiful.

Elliot Lake can offer an entire range of experiences that allow you to cast a line from a local dock within the city limits or a "go remote" at a fly in camp. There are boat rentals, guided trips and fishing packages all available through local outfitters.

During the winter months, ice fishing is extremely popular not only in the immediate area, but also on the more remote lakes, which can be accessed by snowmobile.

If you choose to come and drop a line, remember your Outdoor Card and a licence before you bait up.
