Fishing

Horwood Lake has over 100 miles of shoreline. Fishing in the lake is excellent at anytime of day from May to October.

The lake is renowned for exceptional Pickerel (Walleye) and Northern Pike fishing, and the Perch fisherman will also be rewarded.

Ice fishing for these fish is also available, weather permitting. Residents may get White Fish with dip nets, at the dam and the mouth of rivers and creeks that flow into Horwood just minutes away.

Horwood Outpost is the perfect base for fishing and everything needed for fishing is available at the camp including: rods, tackle, bait, nets and minnow pails.

There is also a screened fish cleaning room with running water and a freezer for taking home your catch.

Boat and Motor rentals are available.

LICENCES: Fishing (and hunting if you intend to hunt) licences must be purchased before you get to camp. Visit the Ontario MNR Web Site for more information and online licence purchases.

NOTE: There are 7 Fish Sanctuaries in operation on Horwood Lake from approx. May 12 through June 14th which results in some areas being closed to fishing during this time. The sanctuaries represent only 12 miles out of 128 miles of shoreline and excellent fishing is still available at this time.
