Rance Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Looking to take a fishing trip with a group of around 15. We are looking for a drive in with good walleye fishing. We do not need 5 star accomodations, but would like a lake on the smaller side where we would not see many other people. Lets hear everyones favorites!!

Fishing: Lower Manitou Lake is well-known for its abundant walleye population, along with northern pike, lake trout, and smallmouth bass. Lake Size: A smaller, more remote lake with very little boat traffic, ensuring a peaceful fishing experience. Accommodations: The lodge offers rustic yet comfortable cabins that can easily accommodate a group of 15. The lodge provides boat rentals, guided fishing, and meal plans, making it an excellent choice for a more laid-back trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 Coming from the midwest we usually cross border at international falls but we are open to pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Best drive-to Walleye (quantity & quality) fishing in NW Ontario is Lac Seul. Although the lake is huge, it fishes "small" due to the number of protected bays and myriads of islands. You can fish all day and not see another boat. Our group of 4 often catches over 100 Walleye a day, with lots of 26" to 30" fish in the mix. In fact, after a day or two, we get bored and just concentrate on the big toothy critters...world class Pike and Musky.. If you're looking for a "remote" experience, take a look at Lac Seul Outposts. It's a boat-in (bring your own, or they pick you up at the launch) camp with housekeeping cabins. If you want the full American plan with meals and an easy drive, look at Silver Wheels Lodge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj2112 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Eagle Lake has some great Walleye fishing. Take a look at some of the resorts at Eagle Lake on Facebook. Some very big Walleyes in those pics. Eagle is 4 hours above International Falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just returning from a week at Eagle Lake....yes, plenty of Walleye, but we spent most of our time chasing big toothy critters. It's a no brainer to catch a couple of dozen eater Walleye on Eagle before lunch. Interestingly, the guides at the lodge on Eagle (Temple Bay) often take guests up to Lac Seul on a day trip for Walleye. Having fished both several times now, my take is...both are great Walleye lakes (with Seul having better numbers, but Eagle a better chance at a 30" +). The opposite for Musky...Eagle is definitely a better numbers lake, with Seul although fewer fish it has some true monsters. Having said that, there still are some big snakes in Eagle...

mj2112 Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Great fish! I was just at Eagle 2nd week of August for Musky. That's my all time favorite lake. I should be up there again October 3. There is only 1 public boat launch on that entire lake!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
