PickerelHunter Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Hey guys...my previous topic of fishing lodge recommendations didn't spark much interest...I'm assuming it was much too broad Still hoping for some insight here... I spent hours last night researching nearly every lodge in Ontario and Quebec that I could find on the net (hundreds to say the least!!). And have narrowed it down to a few in each of the areas listed. Please respond to the poll if you have a chance and drop a message about outfitters etc. if you can Thanks guys! (oh and if anyone ever needs a good list of fishing lodges in these areas with rates and other info in a spreadsheet let me know, the research is done for you! lol ) Edited March 20, 2012 by PickerelHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Personally, I'd say anywhere on the Brightsands River system would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Either fly-in to a remote destination or drive as far Northwest into Ontario as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 None of the above, Nakina is my favourite jumping off point. Between the ones you listed Wawa/Chapleau is an easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickerelHunter Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Nakina is amazing, going last week of June...we have one remote lake that we camp out on for a week and catch loads and loads of nice pike and walleye. Bringing my girlfriend on this trip though and the drive would probably do her in way out there. Thanks for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 My favourite lodge is kenuk it is run by fairmont hotels, it's in southwestern quebec, when you stay at one of the cottages you actually get your own lake in some parts! And with such little pressure it's really easy to fish, if you want to get your kids into fishing then stay at the hidden lake cabin (I think it's called that) just cast a worm out and you have a fish! Also I know that I'm being fairly specific here but it's private and it's not like 50 guys are going to show up one night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acountdeleted Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Bluffy Lake in Ear Falls. The owner Keith is a class act and will treat you like family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Kesagami Wilderness Lodge. Great fishing, Giant Pike and unreal hospitality. Yup, I'll be going there as long as it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have been going to Gogama the last week of June for about 10 years now and we always have lots of pickeral to eat, even good luck at some bass and whitefish. We have been staying at www.minakwalodge.com very clean and upto date housekeeping cottages....seems like they make more improvements every year. They also have a nice marina with hydro hookups to charge the batteries, we have been travelling in a group of twelve and bring 4 boats with us, it is a very reasonable week cost wise (we rent two cabins). I also flew to a remote lake from Air Ivanhoe that's in Foleyet, went around August 17, 2011 and it was the best fishing I ever had. We counted the pickeral that we caught and released on the Wednesday and it was a total of 65 for dad and myself. I would definetly go to one of there camps again. No matter where you go I am sure you will have a good time, I found that its a must to have a portable fish finder and do your research on the internet before you go to find where they are catching fish and what method they are using. Good luck, Bing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickerelHunter Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Great stuff guys, thanks for the action in the poll. Looks like the Wawa/Chapleau/Missanabie area is winning a majority I've got about 8 lodges in the area shortlisted and I'll look through them...heard negative things about the fishing on Dog Lake but that camp looked quite attractive for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind my asking what's your budget? Shoot me a pm if that's okay. I may have a really good option for you in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
