Ok, this may be long but. .. I've stayed at the main lodge, very comfy, full electrical including A/C and hot tub. If you like to fish Lake Trout (I don't) it's perfect. If you like Walleye and the odd Snake (Pike) Dumoine is where you want to be. The camps on Dumoine are very "rustic". Foam mattress beds, running water from a pumped up reservoir (disgusting). Outhouse, screened in porch. For me very comfortable. My favorite camps in order, Cedar Point, Moose Creek ( not always available) Park Line and Marion Bay (I won't go if that's all there is) Cedar Point is right in the middle of all the hot spots. Outpost camps have big coolers no fridge but they bring ice up whenever needed and they work fine, propane stove and bbq. 16' boats and I bring my own motor but he rents motors. The reason I like the outpost's is you walk out and your fishing, the main camps you've got a slow 9km drive to the boat and half an hour to get to the hot spots. Inclement weather makes it worse. All to say, I've been going for nearly 35 years, never came home without my limit and a few good feeds up there. Everyone I've brought, including my 7 year old son (now 32) caught fish and most say it's the best walleye fishing ever. I wrote a story in Fish Hunt and Ride about it and I stand by it. It's my go too. If you decide, let me know and I'll give up some hot spots.

Just bought some, thanks for the help on this

And thanks CrowMan

So for the hunters out there, do you use this, does it give off an odor. Very important when hunting

Where do I buy DWR?

I don't see a Facebook link

Ok, I give up, what's DWR? I Have a Browning gortex suit for hunting, still keeps me dry, 20 years in, I wash it and dry it with high heat. I heard the drying activates the gortex but I'm all ears

Yes it's in Quebec, in at Rolphton Ontario

10 Mile Lodge on Lac Dumoine I have NO affiliation other than I've fished there for 35 years. Back when it was flying only. Now you need a,truck or at least an SUV. I go in in a Toyota RAV4 twice a year. 4 days 3 nights well catch 300 walleye. Throw most back. The odd time fishing will be tough because a thunderstorm rolls through and we'll only catch galf that

Skitters

No bugs except a few sitters at dusk

Went back up this time with 9 guys at two outpost camps. Couldn't count the number of walleye this time but we'll well over 500. Great fish fry and fun was had by all. Biggest was 5lbs but lots of 2 and three pounders

It's not bad but last year, although later in the summer, we did a little better

Well we made it, brought out our limit and had a big fish fry. Fishing was a little tougher than usual. I'm not sure if high water levels affect fishing but they were extremely high. I'd say we caught between 150 and 175 between the 4 of us. Going back in August.

Our first trip up is June 27 Thermocells all fired up

Yup, bug juice is required. We are going late June. I flew in back in the day before a road, on the 11th of June, and it was wicked, but late June not sure. Doesn't matter, in the camp and in the boat the blackflies leave you alone. In August, there are no bug issues except just at sunset with mosquitoes, and they don't bother me much.

Anything over 12 inches but we don't keep them that small anyway

Decided to make 2 trips this year 4 of us in June at the main lodge and our regular outpost trip with 10 guys in August. Looking forward to slaying the Blue Walleye

Olive the Lake

Probably the safest place in the world during covid, not only are you away from covid, your away from all the media flatulence. 🤣

Try one, then you'll know what we mean. They are awesome I once flew in with canoes strapped to the pontoons to paddle out the Dumoine River. A white water canoe trip. The only thing I regret is I didn't bring a fishing rod. My kids were with me. A bit scary because of the kids but a great memory

They don't care in Toronto, gives the CO'S more work and allows them to generate more revenue through fines

I used to fly in to the Dumoine in Quebec every year, it was a lot of fun, but now you can drive and it saves a lit of money, fishing is just as good to. Flew into Esnagi (sp) out of White River, McQuat out of Atikokan and a couple out of Nakina. I agree, when the plane pulls out, it's like the weight of the world is pulled off your shoulders

Just curios if you went and how it worked out

Went up to 10 Mile Lodge last weekend for the 30th year. The first 56 km in, the road was pretty good, took about an hour, the last 40 were real rough, took over two hours, checked in with the lodge then a 9 km drive to the boat launch. You can rent 15hp motors but I brought my 9.9 and it pushes the 16' boats just fine. It takes about an hour to the outpost camp but when you get there it feels like heaven. It was hot and almost no breeze the whole trip. The lake was like glass the whole trip. Fishing with leaches, mostly drop shotting and drifting. There were five of us, unfortunately because one guy was always alone in a boat and that's a bit tough doing everything yourself but still fun. I was fishing with my son mostly, so we were good. So hot in the afternoons I didn't even go out, just chilled. Early morning and evenings were productive but a lot of small ones. We had a great fish fry and brought out outr limit. The biggest was just shy of 3 lbs. It seems the bigger guys just don't bite when it's that hot and bright. Caught over 300 in 3 days though, so still fun. Another great trip to Lac Dumoine Off to Lac Camachigama on the Labour Day Weekend for some moose scouting, camp repairs/improvements and fishing
