Ontario Vacation

[Fishinglund]

Hello All!

I'm just sitting here in Iowa dreaming of this summer and some fishing trips. I am interested if anyone has any recommendations for drive to lakes/resorts that offer great fishing for walleye and northern/muskie for a reasonable price. My family and I take a trip to Lake Vermilion in Minnesota every June, and my father and I go to Lac Des Mille Lacs in late July or August. We love both places, but I am always interested in new experiences. I guess I would like to find a place where there are not a lot of crowds, but still modern enough to keep the family comfortable.

Thanks for any info.

If you are looking excellent walleye & northern at a drive in resort, try anything on Lac Seul. It has some of the best walleye fishing that Ontario has to offer.

Superbee is correct with Lac Seul. It is renowned for it's walleye fishing. Drop me an email. I'm from the Lake of the Woods area and I might be able to direct you to a place around this area.

I have been going to a resort for the last 7 years, drive in and he has the only resort on 29 miles of river. You will not see anyone from another camp. He only has 4 cabins, so crowds aren't a problem. The cabins have heat, electricity, stoves, fridges, hot water and everything you could need. The fishing is great, wonderful for a family trip. If you would like more info shoot me an email. His prices are very reasonable too.

Really depends on how far you want to go into Ontario. Granted I'm not a pro, but I've been to several lodges in Canada and would recommend everyone of them. Hemlock knows his stuff, give him some ideas and he'll hook you up with some great information!

Until then, hit the horn for every corn stalk you see down dAir in IOowa

The best Ontario vacation I have ever had is located 1 hr. no. of Int'l Falls in Dryden on a lake named Wabigoon.Go on this HSOforum for more info: indianpointcamp.com

Legal size Musky is 52" and there is an opportunity for that and more!! I have more fish stories from this lake and most are true......Give it a try.

Lac Suel and Minnitaki have always provided me with the best fishing and there are many resorts on those lakes.

Walleye1957's suggestion of Wabigoon is something I would consider. We were there last fall and although the fishing was poor, all the people we met were telling me how great the lake usually is and the fish we did catch were very fat and healthy. It is different fishing than other Ontario waters though as the lake is very stained with clay and clarity is measured in inches. The Indian Point Resort suggestion is a good one. The new owners are investing in upgrades to cabins, boats, motors and work hard to make sure you have what you need. The price is also very reasonable.

Thanks for all of the responses! Now I have another question...Where would you go for the best fishing in Ontario in late July or early August regardless of price? (Drive-to destination)

Thanks,
