Algoma runs from the north shore of Lake Huron past Sault Ste. Marie to Wawa, Chapleau, and Hornepayne. It borders two Great Lakes and covers about 28,000 square miles of forest, rivers, and more than 1,000 fishable lakes.
The Train-In Lodge
Algoma is the only place in Ontario where you can ride a passenger train to your fishing lodge. Rail-line lodges on lakes like Esnagi — a lake 45 kilometres long — let you skip the floatplane. The train stops near the dock, you unload your gear, and the fishing starts.
Fly-In Country
Floatplane bases at Hawk Junction, White River, and Wawa reach remote water fast. Kabinakagami Lake, the largest lake in the district at about 40 kilometres long, is a classic walleye and pike destination. Outpost camps on smaller lakes give one group the whole lake.
Trout Water
Algoma and the neighbouring Superior Country hold some of the best brook trout water on Earth. Cold rivers feed Lake Superior along the whole coast. The Nipigon area, further west, produced the 14.5-pound world-record brook trout. Steelhead and salmon run the Superior tributaries too.
Who It Fits
Algoma fits anglers crossing at Sault Ste. Marie, anyone who wants the train experience, and trout anglers chasing wild fish in wild rivers.
