Dog Lake is one of Ontario's best-kept Walleye secrets. It's far enough south for a long growing season producing big Walleyes but still located in a very remote region of Northern Ontario. As a result Walleye fishing pressure is low and the population of Walleye is high. Dog Lake is fed fresh water and nutrients from the Lochalsh River and the Dog River. Dog Lake is the headwaters for the Michipicoten River, which is also famous for Walleye fishing. The Walleyes have lots of highly oxygenated water and food along with classic Canadian Shield structure, which is the environment they flourish in. The rivers also provide outstanding spawning grounds. Combining these factors has produced one of Ontario's top Walleye Lakes.

Walleye are common in the 1 to 3-pound range, which is 14 to 19 inches. During an average day of Walleye fishing you should catch 30 to 60 Walleyes depending on how hard you fish and how well you know the lake. Some days you may catch more. Some of our guests have found hot spots where it's one Walleye after another all morning. We show all our guests the hot spots but many want to go out and explore the lake and find new spots. Dog Lake is a big lake and it produces big Walleyes. During an average day of fishing you should pull in a few Walleyes in the 4 to 6-pound range. Occasionally really big Walleyes are caught over 10 pounds. The big Walleyes over 7 pounds are always female and they tend to stay a little deeper during the day but come into the shallows in the evening and at night. Trolling right close to shore in 3 to 4 foot deep of water right at dusk with floating Rapalas and Junior Thundersticks is your best chance at a big Trophy Walleye. Walleyes in the 7 to 10 pound range are much more rare than the smaller males but during a week of fishing at the right places at the right time your chances are excellent. That is not to say you will not catch a big Walleye during the day. Many of our guests catch outstanding Walleyes during the day but if catching a trophy Walleye is your mission, sunrise and sunset are the two best times.
