Ice fishing stocked lakes in Zone 16

19 lakes in Zone 16 had significant stockings of brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout and walleye between 2021 and 2023. Those fish are three to five years old in winter 2026-27.

Check the season before you go. Seasons differ by species and by lake, and many trout waters are closed in winter. Read the Zone 16 regulations on ontario.ca. This list comes from MNRF stocking records. It does not say a lake is open or that the ice is safe.
