Hope everyone is doing well!
I'm looking for some advice and suggestions on where to ice fish in Canada.  I would love to get into some nice lake trout but don't know where to start.  I'm looking for an all inclusive with an outfitter that provides a place to stay and takes you out each day.
We ice fish locally (Buffalo NY area) but I'd like to take my wife and son on a winter getaway and have some fun.
If anyone has any recommendations I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

Lake Muskoka has some great ice fishing close to NY

Bracebridge is about 3 or 4 hr drive and there is excellent ice fishing - Touchstone Resort is right on the lake with great fishing right in front - family friendly resort.

Not too sure about outfitters there now - Prime Time was offering hut rentals etc

A couple of pics of fishing out front of Touchstone

A mix of huge Walleye, Lake Trout, Northern Pike and the odd Burbot

Thanks for the info!  I'm deer hunting right now and will check it out when I get home.
I've always seen the videos of catch big lakers through the ice and would like to give it a try.

Check out Loon lodge on Lake Temagami. It's as much like Kipawa as anywhere else I've fished. Lakers and Walleye over 10lb are common. Adam has 6 ice bungalows but they are often fully booked up in advance but he recently posted about openings. https://loonlodge.com/

Thanks for both suggestions!  Muskoka is obviously much closer, but I've always wanted to try Temagami too!  If my wife can get off when my son is on school break we might just jump on the opportunity.  The other tempting thing about Muskoka is that is where True North Log Homes is located.  We are planning on building or dream retirement home and I've been in touch with them, they've asked me to come up and tour the facility.  This could really end up being an expensive trip.  ;D
