In the wintertime, more than 2,000 huts cover the lake; it’s no wonder that some can mistake it for a town! From small huts to ice bungalows, anglers can spend a weekend or weeks at a time catching fish! These huts are compete with bunks, stoves and most other comforts of home.

There are many ice hut and bungalow operators in the area, all providing excellent service to anglers. Anything an ice enthusist might need, like licenses, equipment and bait, are available, as well as guiding services to point out the best spots for fishing.

The main species of fish available are perch, pike, walleye and whitefish. Every type is different when it comes to the best way to try and catch them, and great advice is always available from the operators and locals alike. No matter what you’re fishing for, though, nothing beats a feed of walleye in crispy batter on a bitingly cold day.

Experience what Lake Nipissing has to offer in the winter; come north and see what all the fuss is about. An ice fishing trip is one to remember for years after.
