Unless there are too many balmy winter days, Lake Simcoe is usually a beehive of fish huts, snowmobiles and fishermen. So great is the enthusiasm that many fishing hut operators maintain heated huts and furnish transportation, food, bait, tackle and other facilities to the angling public. Catches of fish vary during the winter but it seldom happens that any group is frozen out - according to Fish in Ontario, lake trout, whitefish, panfish, pike, walleye, ling are the most common species taken.
