Winter 2026-27

Ice fishing stocked lakes in Ontario

1,842 Ontario lakes had significant stockings of splake, trout or walleye between 2021 and 2023. Those fish are three to five years old this winter, which is when stocked fish reach a good size. Pick your zone for the list.

Check the season before you go. Seasons differ by zone, species and lake, and many trout waters are closed in winter. Each zone page links to its regulations. These lists come from MNRF stocking records. They do not say a lake is open or that the ice is safe.
