Lots of good walleye, pike and brook trout up around there forshure lots of other different stuff. Lately been really getting into the other game fish and its been really exiting, really expands on the sport then just the same walleye and pike all the time which is why I been travalling more southward for my fishing adventures.

Carp ive heard are really good fighters, get to a good size, large numbers and are real neat looking too.

Interesting idea ... species I've got here in Ontario over the years.
Rainbow Trout
Walleye
Sauger and maybe Blue Walleye (we had quite the discussion, caught in Lake Erie 30 years ago, looked like a sauger or skinny walleye but blue)
Yellow Perch
Largemouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass
Rock Bass
Pumpkinseed
Northern Pike
White Bass
Freshwater Drum (sheephead)
White Sucker
Creek Chub
Goby
Longnose Gar (with a bow 30+ years ago)
Black Crappie
White Crappie
Coho Salmon
Bluegill
Green Sunfish
Channel Catfish
Flathead Catfish
Bullhead
White Perch
Carp (bow and rod - never throw these back, they are destructive and make good fertilizer)
Silver Bass
Lamprey (caught when smelting - tossed that ugly sucker in the fire!)

Wanted in Ontario would be Brown, Brook and some of the trout and Salmons, Muskie

Outside Ontario: Yellowfin Majorra, Pompano, barracuda, Mangrove snapper, red snapper and some misc small snappers , Jacks, cowfish a couple good size Jack Crevallie (?) and one "those are rare and protected, throw it back fast the fines are huge" fish (due to legal paranoia no further details!!! and it went back FAST)

Wanted outide: bonefish (I have seen them, usually just after they saw me and were make a big wake at 100mph away), tarpon, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) on the Fly rod if I can.

My father in law took me like nto a lake near Timmins that was full of blue coloured walleyes that left blue slime in the bottom of the boat. I dont think they were a seperate species, though.

That's about it for caught species.

As for bucket list,
Maybe some Salmon out of Huron

Maybe a trip for Auroras.
