Rufus Lake Fishing

The variety of fish species to be found in the lakes are Pickerel/Walleye, Pike, Perch, Common Whitefish and Catfish. Due to the vastness of the lake system, the fishing pressure is low. This ensures our fishermen have plenty of opportunities to catch fish all day long! Daily limit of perfect eating-size walleye/pickerel is easily achieved by novice to pro anglers.

While our lake system provides plenty of opportunities for fishing, the more adventurous love to travel to the Missinaibi River, which is only 30 km away. Being a river well-known for it’s bass, walleye and pike, it is easily accessible by vehicle to launch your small boat. Come drop a line in!
