Fish & Hunt for That Trophy. 

Algoma is home to a variety of fishing & hunting vacations. Drive up to your cabin at a lodge, ride the rails aboard the train to lodges along the rail line, or take the ultimate Canadian wilderness fly-in adventure by a float plane to remote lodges and outposts. 

For the avid fly fishers, Algoma boasts some of the best brook trout and salmon found in Northern Ontario. If you’re looking for just a few hours or a full-day outing of fishing, you can also book charter fishing trips, and there are many guide services available in the area. With over 1,000 lakes to fish, anglers have endless opportunities to catch trophy walleye and northern pike.

Hunting season in Algoma begins when the leaves change colour in the fall and ends with the first blanket of snow layers on the ground. There are three types of hunting adventures in our “big backyard”: small game, wildfowl, and big game. Black bear season in Ontario is available in Spring and Fall, while small game, wildfowl and big game, including moose and deer, is from mid-September to mid-December. Many Algoma resorts, lodges and wilderness fly-in camps are seasonal hunt camps with experienced guides.
