Every year, visitors from all over the world come to experience and make ever-lasting memories in the beauty of Sunset Country. Many individuals fall in love with Northwest Ontario and return each year, bringing friends and family. Some come to enjoy the camping, events, various outdoor activities, wildlife, the fresh air, or even the remarkable sunsets. But most of all visitors come to experience the incredible fishing. The Sunset Country travel region supports abundant populations of trophy-sized fish and anyone will say, once you fish Sunset Country you will never fish anywhere else.
A huge part of Sunset Country’s events are the great walleye and bass fishing tournaments that are held in the region each year. Individuals join in on the festivities for the great fishing experience, amazing cash prices or just to watch the weight-in to get a glimpse of that next trophy-sized fish! Tournaments are found in towns such as Fort Frances, Emo, Atikokan, Sioux Lookout, and Red Lake. You'll also find tournaments on famous Lake of the Woods in the towns of Sioux Narrows, Nestor Falls, Morson and to the most northern point the city of Kenora.
