Fishing
Northern Ontario is well-known for its many pristine rivers and lakes. The Kapuskasing River is no different. It offers a beautiful setting to many sporting activities. The river merges with the Mattagami River, flowing north (as part of the Arctic watershed) towards James Bay and Hudson Bay. The largest body of water, Remi Lake, is situated just east of Kapuskasing. Along with the Opasatika system, it is the most popular recreation area of the region. Fishing is popular year-round in Kapuskasing. The local fresh water sport fish species are the walleye and pike. Walleye (yellow pickerel) is a favorite among local anglers. Coarse fish such as yellow perch, white sucker and lake whitefish are also common in these lakes and rivers. Although species preferring cold water are not as common, small brook trout can be found in O'Brien Creek. |
