Smallmouth Bass thrive in the clear, rocky lakes and rivers in Quetico Park.

 

Outdoor Canada's Fishing 2000 

 

Bass concentrate around shoreline rocks and points, as well as offshore shoals - often in deep, colder water.

Surface lures for early morning and evening fishing are effective. Small, deep-diving plugs and lures, soft plastic imitation crayfish lures, twister tails and small worms or tubes are among the best smallmouth baits.
