June 11-18.  And I thought this was so thoughtful.  They don't even want a deposit from my brother due to the uncertainty of his condition.  They just said if he comes we can just take care of it then.  That really is above and beyond.

We just booked a week at Kanipahow's Embarrass Lake Outpost.  I will be posting a detailed report here after the trip.

Extended closed walleye season on Nip..  You won't be fishing walleye in May.     Make sure to read the regs, that lake is extremely strict and the MNR is out there.

Oh.  Good call.  I hadn't thought of that.  Thanks.

Where do the barb less single hook rules come into effect?  Just Nipigon Lake, or all the feeder rivers that lead to it as well?

There's a couple places that come to mind when thinking about bucket list trips for me.  Lake Nipigon (Onamans), Nipigon River (Red Rock), Lake Seul (many)and Lake of the Woods (many).  

What you're looking for in terms of accommodations, what species of fish you'd prefer and whether numbers or a chance at trophies is more important might help folks with recommendations. 

I gotta say I'm leaning Onamons or Red Rock after doing a bit of research.  Late May to early June.

Can't beat the price at Chapleau.  Any experience there?

How much pressure does Lake Nipagon get?  How many lodges or homes are on the lake?  Anybody here with experience fishing it?  

Looking for numbers all the way.  Pike and walleye are great, but fish is fish.  As far as accomodations rustic is fine.  Definitely don't want anything too fancy.

I'm looking for advice on the best lodges in Ontario.  Nothing fly in.  Taking my brother who has brain cancer, so hoping for some good options.  We've done Poplar Ridge in Hornepayne a few times but that's the limit of our experience.  Willing to drive as far as we have to.  Thanks in advance.
