Sioux Lookout, Ontario is in the midst of several clean, beautiful lakes. To the northwest of Sioux Lookout lies famous Lac Seul, a large tea-colored lake famous for its walleye fishing. This part of Lac Seul is also know for its great muskie fishing. You can also fish for smallmouth bass and northern pike. Lac Seul is the second largest inland lake in Ontario. This vast water system is primarily fed by three huge rivers known as the English River from the south, the Vermilion River from the east and the Root River from the north. Strategically located where these three rivers meet is Chamberlain Narrows. Sioux Lookout is surrounded by a chain of lakes consisting of Abram Lake, Minnitaki, Botsford, Lost Lake, Pelican Lake and Lac Seul (part of the English River System). You can fish this chain of lakes for walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth bass, and lake trout. Pickerel Arm is a 20-mile long branch of Minnitaki Lake. From Moonlight Falls near the south end to a deep-water haven for lake trout at Lyons Bay, the Arm has an excellent variety of structure that inhabits walleyes, feisty northern pike and trophy smallmouth bass.
To the west of Sioux Lookout are Vermilion and Little Vermilion Lakes. To the south of Sioux Lookout, you'll find lakes such as Sandybeach, Kabikwabik, and Keikewabik. West of the town of Sioux Lookout, you can fish Kirk Lake and Marchington Lake. Marchington Lake is part of a river system with seven inlets and only one outlet. The Lake is a long and narrow flowage, approximately 25 miles long and 9000 acres and has no road access. You must boat-in. From Marchington Lake can access to 14 other remote lakes, none of which have road access.
