Gillis Lake

Just a 20 minute drive south of Antigonish, you'll find Gillis Lake - a popular lake to fish in Antigonish County that is stocked regularly with both Rainbow & Brook Trout in recent years. There is ample parking space along the northwest edge of the lake where you can try your luck via the shore, or opt to put in using the small boat launch on the north edge. Nearby, you can fish Cameron Lake as well - this lake is also stocked. Both Gillis and Cameron offer an extended season for trout fishing, giving you even more chance to land a nice one!
