You can get more information from Bob Z., owner of Sylvania Outfitters. In mid-summer you will find excellent catch and release fishing of smallmouth bass on the very scenic Lake of the Clouds. Over 500 named lakes, and nearly 2,000 miles of river and stream fishing await the angler in the Ottawa National Forest. Stream fishing is available throughout the Forest, while lake fishing is concentrated in the southern half of the area. The Cisco Chain has 15 lakes with some being remote and adventurous.
Access is available on Cisco and Thousand Island Lake.
With 271 miles of shoreline take a map and compass. You can use a small motor boat, canoe or whatever. There is nice underwater structure around the many islands. With all the talk about lakes our region is also rich with clean rivers and streams. Fly-fishing is alive and well with brook, brown, and rainbow trout.
