Species & catch proof

Four species. Real fish, real guests.

Every photo on this page came off Wine Lake and its connecting water. Big fish go back — the Conservation District eats 14"–18" walleye and releases the brood stock.

Designated trophy fishery

Walleye

PeakEarly June peak; mid-May through September

Size6–12 lb common · 18"–32" trophies released yearly

Tactics1/16–1/4 oz jigs, spinners, twister tails, Rapalas, minnows & worms

The walleye fishing is plentiful amid Wine Lake's many rocky shoals, and connecting waters produce from mid-May to September. Bounce your jig off the bottom in 8–12 feet, or troll the windy shoreline when there is a walleye chop on the lake. The Ministry of Natural Resources has designated Wine Lake a trophy walleye fishery. OntarioAnglerAwards.com recognized Wine Lake in 2006 for the largest walleye caught and released in Ontario — a 34" fish gently released by Jim Miller of Tallahassee, FL. Conservation District policy is to eat only 14"–18" walleye; the larger brood stock replenish the lake.

Twenty-five miles of water between you and the nearest road, and walleye on nearly every rocky shoal. We booked the next year before we left the dock.
