3 of Canada’s wildest winter fishing and hunting destinations

DINORWIC LAKE

Northwestern Ontario’s Dinorwic Lake is emerging as one of the hottest black crappie fisheries in Canada. The ice forms early and stays late here, giving ice anglers plenty of chances to catch dinner plate-sized fish. Small 1/16- to 1/8-ounce jigs tipped with lively minnows make it almost too easy. Nearby Merkel’s Camp offers accommodations and local intel.
