Lower Manitou Lake is an awesome Muskie fishery. Being a large lake with such diverse structure, Muskie can be found everywhere and in good numbers and sizes. Like any really good Muskie Lake found in Northwestern Ontario, Muskie are caught in many different sizes from small to gigantic monsters. When you see Muskie of all sizes being caught, you know that they are breeding naturally, which tells you that the conditions are perfect for Muskie to flourish.

The most common sizes of Muskie being caught are in the 25 to 40-inch range. Guests who specifically come to Lower Manitou for Muskie and spend much of their time Muskie fishing will catch Muskie in the 41 to 46-inch range but they are not as common as the smaller fish. On occasion, Muskie over 50 inches get caught. Over the last few years, there have been fish in the 50 to 55-inch range either caught or brought up to the boat. Lower Manitou Lake gets such little fishing pressure that it's impossible to tell how many large trophies are in the lake.

Kris caught the Muskie in the picture below off the dock and he safely released it.
