Lake of Bays ice Fishing Hut Rentals

[F7Firecat]

Im looking to take my son on a trip to Lake of Bays area (dorset) for some ice fishing as we have a nice place to stay.

 

I havent fishin LOB for some Lakers or Whitefish at all so I am looking for some information on a hut operator to hook us up with a hut and some good advice for 3 or 4 days.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan

This is the information I recorded on my map for Lake of Bays:

 

Hut to Hut

(705) 489-2679

(705) 789-1642

 

Logging Chain Lodge has huts too.

I have never used any of these services or even contacted them. I don't even know if they're still in business etc.

 

Cheers!

 

edit: Looks like Hut to Hut is out of Minden, so not sure why I recorded that for Lake of Bays. Maybe they have huts in a few places or are a guide service.

Give Tom Waldock a call....he's out of Huntsville and seems to be making a name for himself. I haven't fished with him yet, but know a couple people that have and they only have good things to say about him. Have been chatting back and forth with him for a bit, online, and he would be my go-to guy up there.

Has anyone any idea if the ice is sufficiently thick. I called into the bait shop in Bayside and they are not even sure, at least only on a day to day basis.

Was looking to try and hit Dwight Bay this weekend maybe Saturday.

Any members been up?

Ice in bays is fine. Main channel, mouth of Oxtounge and Dorset ice is dicey.

Just got back from a weekender up at Lake of Bays. We went out of Dwight and South Portage Road into Whitehouse Bay. We didn't walk too far out from Dwight, just past the few huts there into 50-60 FOW. Ice was 8" good clear ice and 3" of frozen slush on top. We walked about 1 km or so into Whitehouse Bay near Seagull Island (or Pancake Island? depends on the map you use) and the ice was 4" of good clear ice with 1" of frozen slush ice. There were about 20 huts in Whitehouse Bay.
