This all results in a great diversity of structure and an abundance of forage fish. Lake Nipissing has a large pike population so you have to work hard for muskies, but the muskies tend to be larger fish (over 40 inches and up). A new world record in the catch and release category was landed on Nipissing in the fall of 2006. Each year we see several fish caught in the 50 inch to 56 inch range.
