The main attraction to the Northwest Angle is fishing, there is a diverse aquatic habitat throughout the lake providing many abundant fish species, and providing the angler an opportunity to fish with many different techniques, this diversity is hard ot find in most lakes. After a morning limit of walleyes, one can pick a warm rocky point and cast for small mouth, look for northern pike in the back bays, try a few hours of tossing for musky, or drift through some crappie holes. In additon to the wide selection of fish, there is water to satisfy the skill and ambition of any angler. Aggresive fisherman will find the vast open water with its wind blown reefs a challenging site to cast for their trophy, while more anglers looking for a more relaxing day can troll the sheltered bays, working drop offs, and weeded areas. Fishing doesn't stop when the water freezes over.
Winter offers the popular Northern sport and recreation of ice fishing.
A winter's day of ice fishing provides enough walleyes, saugers, and perch for a camp meal.
