Lake Despair - Devlin Ontario????

[hangbellyrules]

Has anyone been to lake despair? It's in Devlin Ontario. I'll be heading up there in late May and staying at Lake Despair Lodge. Any comments or info would be greatly appreciated. Looking for any advice on where to go or even what to see.......

hello-

i've posted such a question before. do a search in the canada forum with lake despair in the subject line and you'll get some info. it was quite a while ago so go back a year or two. i'd put the link on here for you but apparently i'm not that skilled!! good luck.

I've only fished Despair once in my life and that was YEARS ago, like 20 years. But, we fish Northwest Bay of Rainy Lake which is just south from Despair. Resort owner where we stay on Rainy fishes Despair a bit. I know they get some nice 17" eyes out of that lake. If you think of fishing Rainy Lake in the northwest bay area, let me know and I could give you a few spots to try. Although, we typically fish that lake in July, but was there in May 2 years ago and found some walleyes.

Thanks Basscatcher. We'll be sticking to Despair this year. What was the resort that you guys stay at?
