Go ahead and brag. You’re sure to have a reason to after a fishing trip to Ballard’s Black Island!

WALLEYE

Welcome to Lake of the Woods… The “Walleye Capital of the World”! From mid-May to mid-October we are open to some of the fastest walleye fishing action in all of Northwest Ontario.

MUSKY

Hail to the king! These monsters are the biggest and baddest freshwater fish roaming the depths of Lake of the Woods. For sheer numbers and trophy size look to Ballard’s Black Island for your fish of a lifetime!

SMALLMOUTH BASS
Come light up our shorelines, rock points and shallow reefs as you cast to some of the finest bass fishing in all of North America! 18″ to 20″ fish are a prize and many of our southern visitors consider our bass fishing to be the “best kept secret” in the lake.
NORTHERN PIKE
Such an angry fish… And quite popular with most fishing enthusiasts. Whether casting top-waters in early summer or pulling cranks in late fall, you never know when the next bite could produce a twenty-pound toothy critter!
BLACK CRAPPIE
When the bite is on you snap your jig off the bottom, hold steady to feel that tick-tick-tick, and whip that rod when the opportunity presents itself. This is a light tackle finesse game and the reward is outstanding table-fare.
YELLOW PERCH
A cousin to the walleye… When you happen on the “perch bite” it can be fast and furious! Look to the deeper holes and channel areas to find schools foraging on swarms of fresh water shrimp or minuscule larvae.
