Fishing
Fishing is an important industry in the area and sport-fishermen are drawn by its clear and deep waters. Trophy-sized Pike are common at Reindeer Lake. The lake also supports commercial fishing. Fish species include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout, arctic grayling, lake whitefish, cisco, burbot, white sucker and longnose sucker.
Several islands on Reindeer Lake, such as Tate Island, host fishing lodges.

Famous quotes containing the word fishing:
“The wildness and adventure that are in fishing still recommended it to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Fly fishing may be a very pleasant amusement; but angling or float fishing I can only compare to a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
