Ice shing around Orillia or Huntsville

[mgrieve]

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of where I can stay and ice fish somewhere around Orillia and Huntsville?

Looking at doing one day of fishing with a couple friends and having a few pints after.

Lots of places in both those areas to stay and to fish. It depends on what species you're after, and that will dictate which lake you'll want to hit. Orillia borders both Lake Couchiching (Perch, pike, whities, some walleye) and Simcoe (Whities, Lakers, Perch, etc.) Once you head up into Huntsville, you're more into Laker and Walleye territory.

 

My bet is on Huntsville for a nicer area to stay, access to lakes is a little more limited. With Simcoe, you can pretty much drive to the end of any of the lines between Barrie and Orillia to find access to a medium sized village of ice huts.

 

 

Hope that helps,

Any idea where to stay - an outfitter/motel that offers ice fishing?

I drive past a sign for "Walleyeman Outfitters" on Sparrow Lake, just north of Orillia, when I'm goign up north...try looking him up and check it out...?

I went to the walleyman on sparrow lake about 3 years back. We got a few perch and a bunch of tiny walleye. Nothing to big, but it was okay. Maybe was just a slow day. I'd rather do simcoe.
