Mitchell's Camp is located on an island in the NE portion of Lady Evelyn Lake, between Ellen Island Camp and Red Pine Wilderness lodge. These coordinates will give you a rough location on Google maps. 47.391355, -80.065136 I've stayed at Mitchell's camp 3 times since 2008. As compared to the other big 4 lodges (I believe Red Pine is not operating again this year) Mitchell's is a more rustic experience; specializing in their "housekeeping" plans. Personally, I love it there. No website, just a phone number. Carolyn is very nice and helpful on the phone. It's a beautiful lake with amazing scenery. We usually target walleye, and it's been amazing some years and slow in other years. Weather seems to play a big factor when you're up there. I'll be going up mid June with my wife. There are others on this board that may be able to add more information. Edited to show rough GPS coordinates - original map link didn't work correctly.

Beautiful fish and great story! Just a brute through the ice!! I can't even imagine...

Awesome for iphone5. I was skeptical at first too, but totally worth the price. I also rarely use it on the water, but it's great for planning where you're headed tomorrow morning.

It's sad. I learned to fish on Eugenia Lake. My grandparents have had a small cottage on the side near the causeway since before I was born, and eventually retired there in 2000. I have dozens of childhood fishing pictures which were taken on this very lake, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Of course as kids, we were happy to catch anything. Hours and hours fishing off the dock catching perch, sunfish and rock bass... Then as we got older we would venture out further in the canoe. I also have memories of BIG bass everywhere - now some of my favourite areas are completely choked out with dense weeds. The "cottages" that have sprung up around the lake are astounding. What was once a quiet little lake with pontoon boats at almost every dock is now a whirlwind of wakeboard/ski boats and sea-doos...

X2 on the low-tech. To save some money on a fancy trolling motor transducer mount, I just "modified" a regular transducer mount and attached it to the trolling motor with a large stainless hose clamp. Works great and is very strong.

I've had the 2 bank 5/5 in my boat for 2 seasons and I'm very happy with it. And yes, it's completely quiet.

Recently bought a Clarus 6'6" and a Sahara 2500FE and I couldn't be happier for the price!

Nice tank!! You'd have to literally drag me off the lake after landing that one! Just... One... More... Cast.

If you haven't done so already, I would suggest ordering a basic map of the lake to get your bearings. I have one from http://www.adventurefishingmaps.on.ca/psd1.htm and it's rather helpful to get a general idea of the lake. These maps are not intended to be used for navigation, but I usually order one for any new lake I'm visiting - just to get the lay of the land. These maps also include fish species found in the lake and a general idea on where to find them.

We've camped at Mikisew PP twice over the last 3 years and still love it there. We usually did well for smallmouth bass fishing topwaters in the evenings, but there's pike in there too. The lake is VERY rocky, with your typical weedy and sandy bays. They mark the main channel with buoys, but there is plenty of rocks, points and shoals throughout the lake. There's a great little store at the narrows with very friendly people and a sandy beach for swimming. Do some exploring and you'll find fish in the usual spots. Especially smallies! Hopefully others will chime in too. Have fun and enjoy!

Beauty fish!! Some of those smallies are tanks! Well done.

Good advice, as this would add a lot of flexibility - which is what I'm hoping for at this time. Thank-you.

Beauty fish for sure!

Awesome report and great photos!

No kidding! I can already foresee this happening in my near future. I think I'll end up spooling it with the 8lb Trilene XL to get the feel of it and avoid the heavy cover for now - then upgrade to braid later. Thank-you for all the replies, hope everyone can get out the water and on fish for this long weekend!
