Ice fishing stocked lakes in Zone 5

19 lakes in Zone 5 had significant stockings of splake, lake trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout 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 5 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.
