Guests of Sunset Lodge who are new to the lake system receive a personalized orientation to the lake where we review fishing regulations, current fishing patterns and navigation.  We are set to get you on the lake with fishing licenses, boaters cards and maps available at the office.

Sunset Lodge Trophy Policy

At Sunset Lodge we respectfully ask guests to recognize that trophy fish produce the spawn responsible for restocking the lake system.  As such, guests are to practice Catch Photo and Release on any trophy size fish that will not be mounted.  All of the fish we have shown you were released.  CPR will help to ensure great sport fishing for years to come. With this in mind, our guests set the trend.  With more people opting for conservation fishing limits, we offer free 8 day conservation fishing tag for each paying guest who registers under a Package Plan, Housekeeping Plan or Hunting Package.

Catch and Possession Limits (Area)

* none may be between 27.5 and 35.4 inches.

Fishing Licenses

To fish in Ontario, your license consists of 2 parts…. an Outdoors Card (which is the license proper) and a validation tag.  These two items are sold and priced separately.  The Outdoors Card is valid for 3 years with several options on validation tags depending on your residence.  US residents have the choice of duration (8 day or seasonal) and type (conservation or sport limits); Canadian residents have a choice of type (conservation or sport limits).
