Our Fishing Policies
| Northern Pike | ||
| Each season, Kesagami area anglers catch and release a number of monster northern pike (including an unverified 54" fish which would have set a new Ontario release record had the measurements and suitable photos been submitted). Hundreds of trophy pike (36" and larger) are released each season. As a result, the average size of fish caught, as well as that for trophy pike, has continuously increased each season since our conservation policies have been in effect. The result ? A healthier fishery and even better fishing ! | |
|
|
The mortality rate of trophy pike has been significantly reduced as a result of the instructional efforts on live-release techniques. For further protection no pike of any size may be kept. | |
| Walleyes | ||
| As a result of a Ministry of Natural Resources study (1995), the management of Kesagami Wilderness Lodge and the Ontario MNR are making changes to their fishing policies. All walleyes over 18 " must be released and no fish are to be taken home. However, shore lunches are considered to be an traditional part of the Kesagami experience and remain integral to any remote fishing experience. The maximum allowable size for walleye kept for shore lunch will be 18 inches (2 pounds). | ![]() |
