Best Lakes for Musky and Small Mouth Bass

[Hiddenbay]

Any suggestions out there on what the best Lakes in Northwest Ontario are for Musky and SM Bass. I know about Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods. I am looking for other options that offer nice camps with quality full service meal plans. Our party does not enjoy the old run down camp.

Thanks.

Crow Lake is great for Bass and Muskie. It is only 3 miles north of Nestor Falls and 100 miles north of the International Falls border. Do a search on some of the resorts on it. I dont know if any sponsor on FM. Kiskutena is another. There are several in a 20 mile radius of Nestor Falls.

As lotwfisher said there are many muskie lakes within a 20 mile radius of Nestor Falls. Though relatively new to muskie fishing, in the two years I have fished them I have done well in the area. Lake of the Woods, Crow Lake, Antikwe, and Rowan are all known for muskies. The later of the two are portage only lakes, but that is the part of the magic.

Muskie Inc. has a few resorts in the area on their reference directory. Also check out ontariofishing, (Contact Us Please) net and ontario sunset country, (Contact Us Please) com These sites should get you started in your search.

Take Care and Good Luck in Your Searching! If you have any further questions, everyone of this forum would be more than happy to answer them for you.

Take a look at Pipestone Lake. It has excellent smallmouth and some big muskie. Check out Happy Landing Lodge, they have great cabin, beautiful lodge and real nice equipment. They also have portage lakes with more good smallmouth and muskie fishing available. www.happylandingfishing.com

If you would be interested in housekeeping, we have a boat ibn outpost on Pipestone as well. www.gatewaynorthoutfitters.net

It is definately worth taking a look at the lake as an option.

Go to Eagle Lake...obviously has the trophy muskies and we caught monster Smallies out there on accident

Andy Meyers Lodge will hook you up with all your meals and show you all the spots because they have a pro staff full of guides
