Fishing Tournaments are a big draw on Lake of the Woods, on the Rainy River, and throughout NorthWestern Ontario because of the many species of freshwater fish found here.

There are many other fresh water fish that are available for catching: Muskie (Muskelunge, Musky), Perch, Sturgeon, Black Crappie, Burbot, Tulibee, Trout etc.
