Bill RiversNipissing on Ice |  |
| Lake Nipissing has long been recognized as one of Canada's best multi-species fishing lakes - no matter the season. Even in winter, through the ice, the lake provides great fishing - walleye, jumbo yellow perch, northern pike, whitefish, burbot (ling) and lake herring. |  |
| If you are a die-hard fisherman and not intimidated by the winter elements, you will find that ice fishing can produce great multi-species catches and sustain your passion for fishing until the open water season arrives in spring. And, today's new equipment, outdoor clothing, footwear and gear can actually make ice fishing a warm, dry and pleasant experience. |

| Long a favourite ice fishing hole, Lake Nipissing offers great multi-species fishing for walleyes, yellow perch, northern pike, whitefish, lake herring and burbot (ling). Of course, winter-caught fish are absolutely the best table fare and it may surprise you that Nipissing not only has some of the best perch fishing anywhere, but no limit as well. And don't overlook the great tablefare qualities of the burbot / ling, whose back-meat is a delicacy. In addition to the basics necessities - ice huts, bait and tackle, the staff at the Waltonian Inn will provide angling guests with the latest fishing updates, hotspots, best baits / lures and techniques. | |
 | Ice anglers fishing Lake Nipissing have made the Waltonian Inn the # 1 winter base on the lake. Offering a wide range of accommodation options, including HK cottages, AP inn rooms and winter sports packages, the Waltonian Inn caters to fisherman - all year for that matter. With an entire fleet of heated bombardiers to whisk anglers to & from some of the best holes, including some over the Waltonian Reef, live bait & tackle, fish cleaning & freezing services, and made-to-order box lunches, the Inn is a great winter destination. |
