FISHING
Duck Mountain Provincial Park has an abundance of lakes, and the majority are within a 20 mile radius of our lodge. Most have road access or can be reached by a short walk or portage. Lakes with road access have excellent docking facilities, so if the fish aren't biting on one, simply move to another. Click here to view a map of Duck Mountain Park, the lakes, and their fish species. Our staff will be happy to assist you in selecting the right tackle as well as where the hotspots are.
The lodge is located on the largest lake in the park. Childs Lake is known for its crystal clear water fed by underground springs. The perfect environment for Lake Trout!
The Duck Mountains are becoming a mecca for fly fishing enthusiasts. Most of the lakes in the park are heavily tree lined, so while very scenic, it also requires you to fish with a tube or boat. So far, Master Angler Splake, Rainbows, Brookies and Browns have been caught with fly gear. If you're truly adventurous, try fishing Northern Pike with fly gear. What a fight!! Want to give your kids something a little more substantial than just another computer or nintendo game? How about some of your time, take them fishing! As you can see, we're kid friendly, and do these guys look like they miss their TV? Sport fishing is a year round activity in the Duck Mountains. Open water and ice fishing is probably the most common activity in the park. You can find 12 species of fish in the many lakes and streams. Native species include lake trout, walleye, northern pike, perch, whitefish, and burbot. Stocked waters host brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, splake, smallmouth bass, and muskellunge.
