Commercial Fishing
Port Dover, once hailed as the largest freshwater fishing port in the world, has a rich commercial fishing heri - tage that remains vital to the local economy. The harbour houses fish tugs whose hauls include walleye, perch, smelt and whitefish, sus - taining both families and local restaurants. Visitors can witness the daily rhythm of fishermen unloading their catches and learn about this way of life at the Port Dover Harbour Museum, which preserves
artifacts, photographs, and stories of the town’s fishing history. The museum highlights how generations have balanced tradition with modern fishing techniques, offering insight into the community’s connection to the lake and the ongoing importance of Port Dover’s thriving commercial fishing industry.
