fishinfool Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 Hello all I have spent many years up in the Marten River area fishing and my better half wants to try another lake or area nearby. She has become a little disenchanted with the owners of the camp we regularly frequent. (another story) My problem is that I know Marten River pretty well and can always get fish there and that keeps her happy but if I go elsewhere and don't get her on fish fairly quick she may get a little unruly!! Can someone suggest a Lake/Lodge that has decent cabins and boat rentals with great fishing that I can try. I am planning on booking something for the week of July 9th. Perhaps Irishfield can pipe in here as I know he has a pretty good lay of the land up that way. I have heard that Wicksteed Lake has a lot of Walleye but I don't know of any Lodges or cabins on the lake. Thanks in advance Stan

Thanks in advance Stan If you want fish, decent cabins and boat rentals try one of the many places on Lake Nosbonsing. You WILL catch fish. Pike, Perch, SM Bass, walleye, and Muskie. Here is one but there are lots more. Birch Hill Camp
Rod Caster Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 Try olive the lake lodge. I don't know the owners personnaly but I've heard good things. Lots of pike/ walleye in that lake too.
F7Firecat Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 Olive lake is a good place, little expensive now, used to be a cheap place when it was Camp Richfeld. Never got skunked on Olive Lake, lots of pike, walleye and huge snallies. Wicksteed is supposed to be good for walleye, but there is a TON of dead heads out there that will ened your day in a hurry, never fished but heard good things about it other than the dayenders.
Nipfisher Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 No lodges, cabins or boat rentals on Wickstead.
Rod Caster Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 Beaverland has a lot of boats cached at back lakes. I'm sure they'd put you on some fish.
Muskieman Posted May 6, 2012 Report Posted May 6, 2012 No lodges, cabins or boat rentals on Wickstead. I wonder if it has something to do with it being in a Crown Game Preserve ?

mikdor Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 If You don't know the lake be very carefull lots of deadheads and rocks.A local told me the natives netted it this spring so no promises of good fishing. Just aheads up.mikdor
Nipfisher Posted May 7, 2012 Report Posted May 7, 2012 I wonder if it has something to do with it being in a Crown Game Preserve ? Randy, There is one camp at the far end just before the narrows.
fishinfool Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks to all of you for your replies. Beaverland only does one week at a time, they will not do 2 or 3 day packages at all anymore, they've gotten too big for their britches. I was looking at a lake called Red Cedar but I don't have enough info to make a decision. It is very close to Marten River and Wicksteed, just a little South West of them. Does anyone know the lake or any camps on it?
Muskieman Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Red Cedar will not disappoint , classic Walleye patterns work well , Pike are in their common places and BIG ones too... You may even be lucky enough to catch the rarest fish in the Red , a Laker ! I've heard of 2 and seen one caught from the lake .... Don't go around expecting not to hit anything with the boat .... as much as you've been cautioned about obstacles on Wick , Red Cedar is just as bad if not worse than Wick... get a hydro map and study it well .... ( it's actually the Temagami River ) You would be about 15 minutes away from your familiar haunts . Randy Edited May 9, 2012 by Randy from Sturgeon
Muskieman Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Temagami Riverside Lodge , Red Cedar Lk Camp .... ....
