Arethusa Lake, south of Sioux Lookout, is one of many area lakes that are great for walleye and pike fishing. Like Abram Lake just north, it is deep enough for walleye, and has enough shallow water for great pike habitat. Arethusa Lake is a great wilderness lake. It does get busy at times, but the fish are plentiful and can be a decent size. Walleye will tend to be in deeper water, and it’s really helpful to get down to the bottom when going after them. Touch the bottom, and drag your leech slowly. One popular method for going after walleye is to use Go-Getters, a set up with a lure and beads. Another option is to troll flats with slip rigs, and floaters with leeches. Walleye tend to hang out more in the southwest end of the lake, near and in the narrows. One nice thing about Arethusa Lake is that it’s fairly sheltered from the wind. It’s a nice, calm lake. While walleye tend to be more active in the wind, the calmness of Arethusa Lake doesn’t seem to stop them. Lake Access From Ignace, Arethusa Lake is about 50 km north. The road can be fairly bumpy, and dusty, so drivers may want to cover their boats. There are several accommodation options in the area. Many different lodges are located on lakes in the area, and will do outpost packages for guests. There are also lots of camping options available.
