Musky Fishing in Canada:
Fisherpersons come to Canada from all over North America to experience the best Musky fishing in the world. Northwestern Ontario is famous for monster trophy Musky and Canyon Lake is no exception.
Musky are well known for being one of the most ferocious and hardest fighting fresh water sports fish. Guests who fish specifically for Musky in Canyon Lake have a high success rate. Other guests catch Musky while fishing for Smallmouth Bass and Walleye. Even if you come for the great bass and Walleye fishing, you may get a big surprise on your line.
Musky fishing is spectacular from June to October. Our guests commonly catch Musky in the 20 to 30-pound range. There has been some outstanding trophy Musky in the 50-pound range pulled out of our lake. Even though you have the chance to pull the fish of your dreams out of Canyon Lake, Musky that size are rare.
We also have an excellent Musky outpost lakes. The Musky are smaller then Canyon Lake but there are lots of them and it's a great way for kids to experience their first Musky fishing. We keep boats on these lakes and they are easily accessible via ATV or 4wd truck.
