Fishing In The Park

Sydney and Kilburn lakes are located in the south end of Woodland Caribou Park.  Wildlife abounds here and multiple sightings of a variety of species are common. Fishing in these remote lakes is better than average and more often than not, spectacular.  Sydney Lake Lodge offers fishing trips for walleye, lake trout and northern pike. At the park sign pictured below you can catch walleyes and pike all summer long.  Not just fish - but big fish too, gold jigs work great on walleyes.  Many trophy walleyes and pike have been caught, and released near the narrows into Kilburn Lake.
