Four-Legged Friends Are Welcome

To all our guests, you know we are always welcoming of your well-behaved four-legged family members. However, based on the recommendations of our vet, make sure your dogs are up to date on their shots. If you are traveling from the United States, then this is most likely redundant. If you are a Canadian resident, please remember to get your pet up to date. Here is a list of the vaccines that are important. Needed but not limited to; Distemper w/ Lepto ( DHLPP), Rabies, and Bordetella ( Kennel Cough). Just so you know Lepto is contagious to humans. Thanks so much, Helen

The Fishing Boats

Bringing Your Own Boat - You are always welcome to bring your own boat, no docking fees ever and there is plenty of room to park your trailer. This is a great option for groups trying to plan a Canadian fishing trip on a budget.

Affordable Boat Rental - Boats and motors are on-site for rental, ask Brad or Helen when booking your stay. Our boats are 14-foot deep-&-wide-hull Nadens, which is Canada's version of the Lund. They are very sturdy and roomy and are built with extra tough swivel seats with backs. By law, all boats are required to have a safety kit with floating rope, a waterproof flashlight, and a whistle. The boats are also equipped with anchors, paddles, and bailing can. 

Fishing at Walleye Cove Outpost Camps

Walleye are of course the stars of the show. Lots of good-sized walleyes for the fish fry are sure to put a smile on your face. There are some real trophy-sized fish here too, so do not be surprised and keep your camera ready. Jigging is the most popular way to take your walleye. Trolling can also be productive.

Pike are plentiful, especially in Upper Twin Lake. This system has produced record fish for Ontario. They feed on the whitefish and grow big and fat. Bring the big tackle and your camera. A perfect addition to your evening meal.

From Walleye Cove, there are also stocked brook trout lakes hidden back in the bush only accessible by logging roads. The Brook Trout are commonly in the 1 to 2-pound range but these lakes do produce 4 and 5-pounders from time to time. We keep their location a secret and only show our guests how to find them when they get here.

Depending on the mayfly hatch (late June), whitefish are a challenge. With their delicate mouth and habit of “rolling,” you can have hours of fun. Dry flies that sink just a little are our favorite way to catch these beauties. From our clean waters, these fish are so tasty, especially when grilled.
