Stretching along the eastern side of Lake Huron, Georgian Bay includes the famous 30,000 Islands and communities such as Parry Sound, Pointe au Baril, Britt and Honey Harbour. Anglers can explore everything from shallow weed-filled bays to rocky shoals, channels and deep open-water areas.

Fishing on Georgian Bay

The bay’s size and variety mean fishing conditions can change substantially from one region to another, so local knowledge and careful trip planning can be especially valuable.
Choosing a Georgian Bay Fishing Resort
Location is one of the most important factors when choosing accommodations on Georgian Bay. Honey Harbour provides access to the southern part of the bay, while Carling, Nobel and Pointe au Baril place visitors farther north among the 30,000 Islands.
Anglers bringing their own boats should compare docking, launching and fuel options. Visitors without a boat may prefer properties that can help arrange rentals or provide easy access to local marina services.
