Muskies in NW Ontario


Recommended Posts

I am looking to book a Muskie trip up to NW Ontario later this summer (August) and I was hoping you guys might have some advise.

What do you guys know about...

Muskie only lakes?

Fly in muskie Lakes?

Lesser known muskie lakes?

I would cross the borber in Baudette or I Falls. Drive in is fine but a fly in would be fun.

Thanks,

John

ahh Musky Fishing NW Ontario, my favorite subject..I have been "around the block"

Here's a few for you to kick around...

Minaki(Winnipeg River System)for Monsters

Canyon lake for #'s and fish up to high 40's

Indian Chain for just sick #'s but low 40's Max

Cliff Lake Chain

Long Legged Lake is an adventure, but staying at their lodge is a complete rip off

Little Vermilion Chain in Sioux Lookout

Ord lake

A few of the above lodges have access to remote lakes as well.

I don't know of any quality fly in Trips for strictly Muskies, most places do day trips only.

Feel free to Email me at [email protected] for any more specific info, hope that helps

Some pretty good suggestions so far.

Canyon is about the only lake I have heard of that is strictly muskies. Sounds like a heck of trip if you are looking for lots of fish and chance at an upper 40"s.

As far as fly-ins go I haven't done one myself but have always wanted to go to Rowan lake. I believe there are 2 lodges on the lake. The only other fly-in I have heard of is Kay lake. One of the nestor falls fly out companies has that one.

Thanks for the suggestions. They all sound unbelieveable.

I had my eye on Kishkutena because all the outposts are very reasonable and it's a fly in!

There is a resort on LOTW that has a package, 3 days on LOTW and 3 days on Kish, The 2 days on LOTW are American plan. Sounds sweet

Thanks for the names of the other lakes, I will look them up.

John,

Don't you have a new job to start, a house to move into, and a wife to keep happy? How do you plan on doing all that and going on a muskie adventure? tongue.gif

Tons of great suggestions here, but I've got one more for you. Next time you see me, bring it up and I'll point you in a good direction.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
