The waters of Little Long Lake and the Pickerel River System is one of Northern Ontario’s best kept secrets! There is over 40 miles of interconnecting lakes and rivers to fish right from our dock. From the waters of Little Long Lake, to Toad Lake, to Wilson Lake, Duck Lake, and to Dollars Lake to Kawigamog, and the Pickerel River just to mention a few, there are lots of places to fish and explore.

The waters include fishing opportunities for Small and Large mouth Bass, Pickerel (Walleye), Northern Pike, Whitefish, Lake Trout and various pan fish. Because of the size of the lakes the water is always fairly calm and great for fishing in any type of weather.  Check out all the Fish Pictures!

Northern Lights participates in the Loring Restoule Walleye Enhancement Program. The program is intended to improve and protect pickerel fishing in our area lakes . Each spring thousands and thousands of pickerel fingerlings are released into the lake right in front of the resort. The hatchery is located at 93 Brown Drive in Loring 1 km east of Northern Lights and is open to the public during the spring spawning period.  This non profit organization is run by volunteers and needs your support. You can help by purchasing tickets for the annual 50/50 draw.  Tickets are available at Northern Lights and various locations around Port Loring and Restoule.
