Looking for a lodge


Recommended Posts

Im looking for a drive/boat to lodge/cabin with good fishing that we can bring our boat. (18.5 Pro-V) . looking to walleye, pike and possibly trout fish in Ontario. We will be going with my father and his older friend frist week of june. I was thinking about the NW angle of lake of the woods.

Any recomendations or opinions?

Donnelly's Minnitaki Lodge is where we go 2x a year for the past 5 years. Probably will never go anywhere else and have previously fished a number of different Ontario lakes. Sioux Lookout area...

LOW would also be a good choice. Lots of members here will chime in on LOW.

Caribou Lake, up by Armstrong. Forrest Lodge or Bear Paw Lodge. You could spend years on this lake and never fish it all. Great Walleye and Lake Trout Fishing. http://forrestlodge.com/index.html This will give you a look at the lake. We go there because we also like to bring our own boat (Lund Fisherman 2000) Even if the weather turns on you, you can always find someplace to fish. We've also taken some day trips on the loggong roads and fished Brook Trout in some of the little rivers that the roads cross.

Good walleye and pike are available all over NW ontario. A lake that has all 3 species mentioned might be a little tougher. Some of the big lakes with multiple basins will allow you to chase eyes and trout on the same water but you may need to cover a few miles. LOTW and Eagle are 2 that come to mind. Cliff lake is a smaller lake that has all 3 species but not known for #s of walleyes.

The NW Angle on LOTW has plenty of eyes and pike but your gonna have one heck of a run to Clearwater bay or whitefish bay for trout.

Black Island Resort north of Morson. Trailer to Morson, about a 7 mile boat ride all protected waters. Good fishing for LOW's big 4. Small American plan resort. Nothing fancy but nice place. Fished out of there last year.

My pick would be Morson on Lake of the Woods. I usually stay at Red Wing resort. It is a drive to with housekeeping cabins. Excellent ownership and reasonable rates. Nice cabins and docks. Everything is maintained. Easy access to Miles Bay, Stevens Bay and Sabaskong Bay. Walleys, pike and crappies are all available. There are also several other drive-to and boat-in resorts in the area. A nice thing about Morson is that travel time from Duluth is about 5 hours driveway to launch so you get a full 8 hour day fishing after you arrive. If you decide on Morson and plan to cross the border at I falls be aware that a 2 to 3 hour traffic back up is not uncommon. The Baudette crossing is usually less than 1/2 an hour.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
