Dinorwic Lake is shallower and a little warmer than most lakes in Northern Ontario. It's healthy thick weed beds, rich forage base and many other features make it a virtual Jumbo Perch factory. Perch can be caught in great numbers as well as good sizes. Some customers come across schools of Perch that are the size of small Walleyes.

With a sport fishing license, you can take home 50 Perch, which means a big fish-fry for your family and friends upon your return. Another thing that should be mentioned is the taste of our perch. The meat is white and cooks up fluffy. Our Perch don't have the gray semi-opaque meat that Perch is big deep lakes can have.

Black Crappie are found in Dinorwic Lake and they are steadily increasing in numbers. Even though Crappie are considered a foreign species, they are not being treated as an invasive species.
