Wayne and Patti Jones offer a great destination if you are in search of trophy walleyes, smallmouth bass, and northern pike. Nicknamed “The home of the 10 pound walleye,” Dogtooth Lake annually produces some of the biggest walleyes caught in all of N/W Ontario. The strict policy of catch and release for the trophy of the species will ensure you’ll find more than adequate amounts of smaller walleyes to catch and eat. In 15 years of visits, I have never been disappointed with the size and number of walleyes we catch at this premier destination. For the smallmouth bass enthusiast it’s one of the best kept secrets in Ontario. There are bass taken every season in the 20-23 inch range – bragging rights by anyone’s standards. Give Wayne or Patti a call or contact them at their web page; you won’t be disappointed!
