The northern pike and muskellunge are two members of the pike family that live in Ontario's waters. Both are ultra-aggressive ambush predator species that possess rows of sharp teeth, a tubular body and a flattened mouth designed for grasping prey.
Walleye
Ontario's rivers and lakes are home to walleye, which are among the tastiest of all freshwater fish. Anglers use lures such as spinners, crankbaits, worms, minnows and leeches to catch these fish, which are active mostly at night.
Salmon
Four types of salmon inhabit parts of Ontario, with most of them in the Great Lakes that border the province. The pink, Coho, Chinook and Atlantic salmon are similar in appearance, with the Chinook the largest of the four on average.
Trout
