Anyone have any information on either Hillock or Highwind lakes north of Kenora. A little remote I know but what is in them? I know that Highwind does have lake trout in it but I know nothing else. Any help would be appreciated.

Highwind has good smallie fishing, and northerns, haven't been on Hillock, there are many lakes accessible by atv there. Lyn and Marie Marks own Highwind Lake Camp, they are great people, and will steer you in the right direction.

I hope that you get to read this, I know that this may be too late. I have fished Highwind and Hillock many times, however only in the winter. We stayed at Highwind lake camp. There are nice trout in either lake! I am not sure that Lyn and Marie are open in the winter anymore. The long drive in is well worth it.

we would snowmobile in to hillock from andy lake resort. good laker fishing. that lake is scary clear, you can see down almost 60 ft. we did not fish highwind, but would ride buy on our way to dryberry or winnage, were the laker fishing was much better.

That poses another question. Where would you begin to fish either lake in the winter. A general area would do. don't need to give up any secrets. General depth would help as well.

just find any steep cliff or wall of rock on the waters edge, thats always a good place to start, as the trout push the baitfish up to these steep drops. depth is not a issue, 30 to 200 feet, you can catch fish in winter.
