Brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, salmon, cod, flounder, blueback herring, gaspereau, smelt, eels, to name a few. The record striped bass was also caught in the Bras D'Or Lake weighing over 50lbs, but they are rare. There are good populations of all three trout species in the lake, and some real monsters too. There is lots of good fishing close to Baddeck. Baddeck River and Middle River run into the lake there, Lake Ainslie and the Margaree River are also within an hour's drive. Lake Ainslie has a growing population of smallmouth bass along with some large trout, and the Margaree has world class Atlantic Salmon fishing.
Anyway, I hope this helps a little. The Bras D'Or Lake is a great place for fishing. Good Luck.
