Real Fishing & Hunting.

Welcome to unspoiled wilderness with thousands of lakes,

rivers and streams in a natural forest habitat that makes up much of the 28,000 square miles of Algoma. We are a mecca for some of the best gear fishing, fly fishing and hunting opportunities in the province of Ontario. Whether you fly-in, ride the rails, or drive to one of the many lodges, resorts or outposts, your trip to Algoma will be unforgettable.

Fishing

Troll deep for the elusive lake trout, fly fish for brook trout in cold streams, duck for bass under rocky shelves, channels or shoals, hook a big northern pike, cast for the mighty muskie or relax on a quiet lake jigging for walleye. Whatever your favourite species the calm will be broken with the sight of a tight line time and time again in Algoma.

Home to Diverse Species and a Wealth of Lakes and Rivers. Fishing is all about the fish. It’s about that moment when you brace yourself for the thrill of the fight as your line is being pulled by a big powerful catch. But it’s also about the quiet on a lake, beautiful nature and the ability to escape our busy lives. Fly-in, drive-in or train-in to your fishing vacation. Our lodges, resorts and outposts offer a variety of services; it’s all up to you to choose. From a rustic retreat to a luxury full service lodge with fantastic cuisine and top of the line cottages, the choice is yours. Many offer boat rentals, a large selection of fishing supplies, and guide services who will provide you with those secret fishing hotspots on the lake.

Marie, Wawa or White River. Speak with the lodge owners, guide services, local bait/tackle shops and sporting goods operators, who can answer all your questions. Remember, you will need an Outdoors Card and a Fishing Licence to fish in Ontario. 7

Algoma Walleye Fishing by The Fish’n Canada Show. Fish’n Canada’s 2015 shooting season started off with a bang as we had the honour of again flying into Ontario’s Algoma region for some outstanding Walleye fishing. Our destination was Nagagami Lake which is deemed as the ultimate Walleye structure lake in Algoma (bottom features which attract fish). After experiencing Nagagami Lake for the first time, we definitely agree. We found and caught fish shallow, deep, in sheltered bays, in big water, on points, on humps and believe it or not, the list goes on. Since it was early in the Walleye season we had to rely on the trusty jig and minnow combo... not a problem in our books as it’s a “go to” for Algoma Walleye in general. As the season progresses artificial baits will definitely come into their own... I guess we’ll have to save that for a future trip. One statement we can honestly keep on making without any hesitation is, “Algoma produces more and bigger Walleye for us than anywhere else in the country!” AlgomaThatReal.com 16

Fly Fishing

Algoma’s abundance of pristine lakes and crystal-clear rivers makes our region one of the best places to fly fish. You can catch fat smallmouth bass with top water poppers, hook into chunky brook trout with dry flies, or wade in accessible rapids for salmon and rainbow.

For Fly Fishers Algoma is a True Paradise. In Algoma you have many different options for true wilderness fly fishing. You can fly-in to remote lodges or you can even take a train. If you want true solitude, many operators have remote outposts with cabins on lakes you can call your own. There are drive-in lodges with cottages and cabins set on stunning pristine lakes and rivers which allow convenience of parking right outside your door. There is also world-class salmon and steelhead fishing, right in the heart of Sault Ste. Marie. You can just walk to the rapids from your hotel and swing a fly for big fish, it is that easy. There are guide services available with the knowledge and experience you need in the world renowned rapids. No matter your choice, there are numerous options for fly fishing vacations that are ideal for you, friends and family. If you want to get away from crowds, this is the place to go. Best of all, this world class fly fishing is very reasonably priced and easy to get to! For fly fishers, Algoma is a true paradise with so many species and opportunities.

Tips-Fly Fishing Using Streamers by The New Fly Fisher Show.

In Algoma Country you have a lot of great fishing opportunities on a fly. One of the best fly patterns you can use is a streamer. Streamers work with smallmouth bass, brook trout, steelhead, lake trout and even northern pike! Here are tips to consider when using streamers in Algoma:

Smallmouth bass Smallmouth bass eat lots of minnows and smelt, especially in the spring and fall. Try using intermediate lines married to fly patterns like Scotty’s McFly, the Gamechanger or even the Grey Ghost to trigger strikes. Sizes should be 2 to 8. White is the number one choice in colours.

Brook Trout For brook trout try using black, white and olive streamers that have the silhouette of sculpin. Sculpin are a favourite food source for trout and swinging one of the common sculpin patterns like Zoo Cougars will entice explosive strikes.

NORTHERN PIKE Northern pike love eating perch, walleye and whitefish. Try using large streamers (6-10 inches) that have the colouration of these sources of food. Full-sinking lines in 9 or 10 weight are ideal for pike and getting these streamers down in the water column.

Lake Trout Right after ice-out lake trout are on the prowl for food in water depths of 3-10 feet. Casting streamers in white, black or purple with either a full sinking or intermediate flyline is a great way to trigger a bite. Once you hook into a lake trout – hang on, this will be a significant battle of tug-of-war.

Steelhead Steelhead are very aggressive when they come into rivers searching for food or post-spawn. Black streamers such as Wooly Buggers and especially black Matukas are very deadly. Swing the flies near or by where steelheads lie and hang on! The strikes will nearly jolt the rod out of your arm!

Whenever you come to Algoma, no matter what season, ensure you bring a number of streamers in your fly box. With a vast array of species and fishing opportunities available here – you are sure to hook into a trophy fish with a streamer!

Hunting

Our professionals will cater to you if you are not familiar with our area, or want to be assured a fair chance of going home with a trophy. Your meals, accommodations, trophy mounting and the packing and shipping of your game will all be taken care of for you while you relax and enjoy the excitement of the stalk.

Hunt for Big Game, Wild Fowl or Small Game. Many of our Algoma resorts, lodges and fly-in wilderness camps easily transform themselves from summer vacation locations to seasonal hunt camps with experienced guides. These hunting lodges play an important role for the nonresident moose hunter because all non-resident moose hunters must be a registered guest at a tourist outfitters lodge to be eligible for a moose licence. Hunting season in Algoma begins when the leaves change colour in the fall and ends when the first blanket of snow layers the ground. We offer three types of hunting adventures in our “big backyard”: small game, wild fowl and big game. Black bear season begins in mid-August while small game, wild fowl and big game, including moose & deer, begin mid September thru mid December.

ONTARIO HUNTING REGULATIONS & LICENCE INFORMATION www.ontario.ca/travel-and-recreation/hunting Every person in your party must have a valid licence and Outdoors Card to hunt any animal or bird and must have it with them while hunting. Non-residents must be 16 years of age or older and only residents may apply at 15 with the consent of both parents. A resident is someone who has resided in 19 Algoma | 2016 Travel Guide

Ontario for at least 6 consecutive months during the 12 months immediately before applying for a licence. All others are considered a non-resident. A small game hunting licence is not valid in some parts of Northern and Central Ontario from June 16 to August 31.

Big Game Hunt

Hunt Algoma Black Bear, by Canada in the Rough.

Nothing beats the incredible scenic drive through Algoma Country. Well actually, maybe hopping into a plane after driving to White River and flying into your remote wilderness lodge does… As the plane soared high above the retreat we were about to land on, I could see the pristine lake stretching for miles, surrounded by the vast Canadian wilderness. When we docked and shook hands with the lodge owners, we knew we were in for a special week. The bear hunting was by boat only, access man could not get to otherwise. As a serious big game hunter, those are words you want to hear as it means the animals have had no pressure. We were settled for only a few hours when they fed us a meal fit for a king. We then poured over thousands of trail camera pictures from the previous months scouting. The guides had done their homework and the bear numbers were incredible. After a great night at the cabin we woke to a big breakfast, and a morning of incredible walleye and pike fishing. The bite was on and we landed fish after fish.

Mid-afternoon we suited up and headed for the tree stand. The wind was right and the warm August air made for a beautiful night in the woods. A few hours passed with nothing, then 30 min before dark, the magic started. A large black shape moved through the timber and disappeared. Readying my bow I waited with great anticipation. Two minutes later a big head poked out, and then the full body. I knew from the scouting pictures this was the target bear for this stand. The bear inched closer to my shooting lane. Putting my excitement aside I raised my crossbow, the bear stepped into the clearing and I settled the pin behind his shoulder and squeezed the shot. It was perfect, the bear ran into the timber out of site. We easily followed the trail to big bodied Algoma black bear. The food, accommodations were first class, the fishing and hunting as good as it gets. But the owners may be the reason I can’t wait to return, they provided me precious memories I will cherish.

Anglers, remember to put your shore lunch fire out. A wildfire can affect fish and wildlife habitat along a shoreline and can be very expensive to control. If you have a shore lunch fire, remember the rules: • Build the fire on bare soil or rock in a location sheltered from the wind. • Make sure the fire is a safe distance from all flammable material, including overhanging branches. • Keep the fire small and tend it at all times. • Most importantly, put the fire out when you are done. Soak it with water, stir the ashes and soak it again. Repeat until the ashes are cold to the touch.

C’est la saison des incendies de forêt, n’en soyez pas la cause. Du poisson frais cuit sur un feu en plein air – rien ne peut se comparer à un repas sur le bord de l’eau. Sauf si le feu cause un incendie de forêt! Pêcheurs, n’oubliez pas d’éteindre votre feu de cuisson. Un incendie de forêt peut nuire aux poissons et à l’habitat faunique situé sur le rivage. Il peut également être très coûteux à maîtriser et à éteindre. Si vous allumez un feu de cuisson, n’oubliez pas les règles : • Préparez le feu sur un sol dénudé ou rocheux à l’abri du vent. • Veillez à ce que le feu se trouve à une distance sécuritaire de tout matériau inflammable et qu’il ne soit pas placé sous des branches. • Gardez le feu de petite taille et surveillez-le en tout temps. • Mais surtout, éteignez le feu lorsque vous avez terminé. Arrosezle avec de l’eau, remuez les cendres et arrosez-le encore. Recommencez jusqu’à ce que les cendres soient froides au toucher. Pour plus de renseignements, communiquez avec le bureau des incendies du Ministère des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts de votre localité.

St. Joseph Island

M

any colourful stories – some legend, some historical

fact – are told about St. Joseph Island, the second largest freshwater island in the world, situated in the channel between Lakes Huron and Superior. About 45 km (28 mi) long and 24 km (15 mi) wide, the 140,000-acre island is 56 km (28 mi) east of Sault Ste. Marie via Highways 17 and 548. Originally named Anipich, the Ojibway word for “place of the hardwood trees”, the Island was given its present name by Jesuit missionaries to honour the patron saint of a new Indian church they were building. Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site of Canada is a mustsee stop. The British chose St. Joseph Island as the ideal location for a fort because of its proximity to Fort Mackinac, to the navigation routes controlling the fur trade and access to the Great Lakes. It was from Fort St. Joseph that a surprise invasion took place in 1812, leading to the capture of the American Fort on Mackinac Island. The Island is linked to the mainland by a toll free bridge, opened in 1972. With full service marinas, championship 9-hole golf course, libraries, public beaches and trails within easy

information by car, boat and air. There is information for what you can bring into Canada and what you need to know about bringing the family pet. You’ll also find out what you can take home with you when passing through Customs, travel distances and, of course, our location can all be found here.

Information for U.S. & International Travelers CROSSING THE CANADA-U.S. BORDER In most instances, American travelers have no issues crossing over the border into Canada. However, there are some recent changes to travel documentation requirements for U.S. citizens that visitors to Canada should be aware of. As of June 2009, the U.S. government requires all of its citizens 16 years or older returning to the USA from Canada to have a valid passport by air. When crossing by land or sea, you require either a valid passport, U.S. Passport Card, an Enhanced Driver’s Licence (if available in your State) or be enrolled with Trusted Traveler Program Cards such as NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST. While Americans technically do not require a passport to enter Canada, U.S. laws require you to present one of the items listed above to U.S. Customs and Border officers upon your return to the United States. For more information on this new American law visit: www.getyouhome.gov

Important Notice for U.S. residents: If you or anyone in your party has a felony or misdemeanor conviction, you may not be allowed into Canada. This includes such offences as a DUI. Your admissibility to Canada depends on the nature of the offence, how many offences you have, as well as how long ago it occurred. If this applies to you or someone traveling with you, it is imperative you contact Immigration Canada well in advance of your arrival. You will likely have to complete some paperwork and Immigration Canada authorities will then advise you of the likelihood of being allowed into Canada. Final determination of your admissibility into Canada is only made when you cross the border. Contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada at www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/tourist.asp or the Canadian Consulate in New York, NY www.can-am.gc.ca/new-york/ regarding any forms you may be required to fill out. You may also wish to call an Immigration Officer at the Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Port of Entry to discuss your situation at 1-800-4619999 or 1-204-983-3500 (calls outside of Canada). Frequently asked questions for Americans traveling outside of the U.S. are available on these two websites: www.canadawelcomesyou.net or www.travel.state.gov

BoATERS - How to report your entry: Planning to “land” your vessel on Canadian soil or did you leave Canadian waters and land on U.S. soil?
