Tobin Lake ranked number two for best ice fishing destinations

“It makes sense,” said Mayor Amy Shipley who said she first got word of the list through a social media post.

“I was surprised and thrilled to see that but totally believable because we have such awesome fishing here.”

The website said the lake is known not only for its winter fishing frenzy but also for its record-breaking walleye and being one of the best ice-fishing spots for monster walleye and lake trout.

“The majority of locals would always point to the lake when asked where the trophies hide,” FishingBooker said in its release. “It’s not just about walleye and trout; perch, whitefish, burbot, and pike are also on the winter menu.”

Shipley said the timing of the release is perfect given its upcoming Drill Your Own Hole fishing tournament on the Saturday before Family Day.

“It’s great publicity to have that recognized,” Shipley added. “It’s great for the village and great for Tobin Lake.”

Here is the full list of the top nine ice fishing destinations:

Lake Nipissing, Ontario
Tobin Lake, Saskatchewan
Cold Lake, Alberta
Lake Erie, Ontario
Lake of Two Mountains, Quebec
Lake Laberge, Yukon
Bay of Quinte, Ontario
Logan Lake, B.C.
Great Slave Lake, N.W.T.
