Canada is one of the most popular destinations for anglers in the entire world. Not only does it boast some of the best fishing locations anywhere on the planet, it hosts an astounding amount of diversity. Because of this, Canada’s fishing opportunities receive a great deal of attention. What may surprise you is that despite all this awareness, some of Canada’s best fishing destinations actually fly under the radar. In that spirit, we present to you five of Canada’s best-kept fishing secrets:

Rivers Inlet is one of the best-kept secrets in all of Canada. This is an area along the remote and rugged BC coast, and many of its best spots are fly-in only. The downside to this is that you have limited options for travel and accommodations, and the options you do have aren’t necessarily convenient. The upside is that you can fish in areas that are bountiful and blissfully serene. Many who fish the area stay at a lodge like the Sportsman’s Club and the area’s greatest gifts to anglers are its giant Chinook salmon.
2. Kawartha Lakes, Ontario

Ontarians call the Kawartha Lakes their best-kept secret because of its black crappies, and for many locals, it’s their first destination as soon as they pass their boat exam Canada . Many anglers think of black crappies as an exotic panfish found in the southern United States, but black crappie fishing in Ontario, particularly in the Kawartha Lakes, has exploded due to climate change and other factors. The nice thing about this area is that it’s accessible, not overrun by tourists, and it gives you numerous options for camping and accommodations.
3. Morin-Heights, Quebec
