Name:Fishing Ontario's Near North and surrounding areas. URL: http://www.fishinontario.com/. By Fish in Ontario. Rating **

Review: This is an o.k site, that gives information on Lake Ontario and the fish that are located in that lake. It also gives other links to different site about the fish in the lake. The most interesting part was the fact that there are 180 native fish in Canada, 144 of them are found in Lake Ontario. This would be a good site to learn more about the fish and Ontario.
