sneak_e_pete Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi there, I am wanting to take my 4 year old son ice fishing for the first time this year. I have stayed with one operator for the past 4 years (South Shore) and they have been awesome, however I have always found the walleye fishing to be very hit and miss. Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or great experiences. It will be just him and I going and want to stay for 3 nights. Thanks in advance.

peter23 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 waltonian inn, has been my favourite for the past 3 years. great food, service, cabins, and the ice huts are massive! the fishing is hit and miss everywhere on nipissing. some years we went there and caught over 40 herring, a mess walleye and a few pike in 3 days, while others we could barley get a perch. overall though this place is amazing try it out!

bubbles Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Tough to beat SSIC, great folks. Fishing is fishing, the fish wont be on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 never been up that way, but had a buddy that used Snowfari a couple of years ago and they said it was horrible. So close to shore they wondered if they were still over ashphalt instead of water. All they caught were mudpuppies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 We have stayed at Idle Tyme a number of years, very good service. Walleye catching can really be hit and miss there although the perch would make up for the slow time. Make sure to bring some games along for him to play or a portable DVD player. At 4 years old, they have their limits on attention span. My youngest used to come with me, watch cartoons on a little B&W TV, catch fish and go build a snow fort. He is still fishing today, if it wasn't for work, probably fish every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinmortician Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Stayed at Idle times also. Had a blast and great service. Operators were around every few hours to double check on bait and to re drill holes. Lots of perch last time, a few walleye. Highly recommended!

Roy Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I don't know if you've looked through our sister site. I've stayed at Rob Hyatt's and had good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy28 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 We have used two operators: Idle Tyme and The Waltonian Inn Both were great hosts etc - and dont think you can go wrong with either We did however have much more luck fishing at Idle Tyme than we did at the Waltonian In fairness to the Waltonian we arrived at the height of a cold snap (-30 without the wind chill) so fishing seemed to be tough for everyone No pickeral - lots of perch and the odd whitefish at Idle Tyme Cheers Gordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
