one of my favourite things about lake nipissing is the variety of fish, sometimes it can hold many surprises, we've all read about there being 40 different species, i'm interested to hear what other species others have found on the end of their line beyond what I have actually caught. cheers!
pike small mouth largemouth walleye muskie white bass perch burbot rockbass sunfish {pumpkinseed I believe} gar catfish {brown bullhead I believe, correct me if i'm wrong} whitefish freshwater drum sturgeon {I have never caught one unfortunately but I know they're there}
I love it when I can catch something and add it to my list. its one of the reasons I fish with different baits and techniques, I have caught some small minnows before as well fishing off the dock with worms but I cant tell you their identity.

Ling are somewhat different than Catfish, more the cod family I think or so i was told. Burbot are smaller and have needle sharp spikes near its head.I didn't goggle it but have caught both in Nip

Hey Kenster,
I think you might be thinking of the name Barbotte which is another name for a bullhead catfish whereas a burbot is another name for a ling. You are right the ling is a freshwater cod.
