Whitefish Fishing
Whitefish are a really fun fish to catch and they taste great. Traditionally people smoked them but at Black Bear Camp, we have experimented with cooking the Whitefish like steamed Whitefish with Mandarin Duck sauce or Whitefish broiled with sun-dried tomato and Oregano dressing.
Whitefish are the main feeder food for the big game fish in Birch Lake but the whitefish themselves can get over 8 pounds. The season is open all year. The limit for Whitefish is 25 so it's a great way to bring a mess of fish home for the big fish fry. If you have never fished for Whitefish then you may want to read Whitefish Fishing Tips
