Cedar Lake Lodge

[namtkd1]

Hey Guys! I attended the All Canada Show recently and compiled a list of possible lodges I would like to visit this year. Right now my #1 Canadian lodge is Cedar Lake Lodge in Ontario. I was planning for a June trip to fish for smallies, walleyes, and muskies. Has anyone had experience with them and can provide some feedback on the fishing, etc.? Thanks in advance.

I think muskies only opens last weekend in June if I'm remembering correctly.

Well..that is a great area, you couldn't ask to get away to more pristine country

Cedar is so-so....There are about 3 or 4 resorts on the system which is one or two many in my opinion. I'm sure you will be able to catch bass, walleye fishing can be descent, and there are big Muskies in the system, although it can be pretty easy to go out there and get your butt kicked at times. Not much in terms of Pike fishing

Overall not a bad choice, but wouldn't be my favorite in the area

I was there about ten years ago. Fishing was slow

I was there about 15 years ago. Slow is the key word.

Thanks everyone for your responses! I will have to consider my options the next couple weeks. I want to take an early summer trip and another fall trip this year so trying to figure where in Ontario to go that has a good housekeeping plan and good fishing too. I am in search of big fish this year.

few suggestions for you....

I have been going to Canada for over 12 years multiple times a year. I saw more big fish in 2 weeks at Andy Meyers Lodge last year then all of the other years combined. Top notch service when it comes to fishing, and probably the highest rate of return guests in the region.

The Winnipeg River/Lake System in Minaki would be another good choice as well for big fish, both Pike and Musky.

Paradise Cove Resort has a wesbite (Minaki) as does Andy Meyers Lodge

Thanks Bri for the recommendations. I am just checking out the Paradise Cove Resort right now. I was looking at the photos on their site and remember seeing that monster musky close to 60 lbs. the guy caught while walleye fishing I think. I met with one of the reps from Andy Myers Lodge at the show. I will have to make a tough decision here...

I am not sure what type of package you are looking for exactly, but we have a housekeeping boat in outpost cabin on Pipestone Lake. You can bring your own boat if you would like. Pipestone offers muskie, smallmouth, largemouth, walleye, pike, & lake trout as well. Pipestone is most noted for its large muskie, abundant smallmouth, and large size walleyes. If you would like more info, take a look at our HSOforum and if you have any questions, let us know.

honestly..Paradise Cove Resort is good in terms of the Price ( cheap)..but you will not get the personalized service that you get at Meyers. There's a detailed seminar at the beginning of the week, marked guide maps, name it....Paradise cove you are pretty much on your own BUT that is where I have seen the biggest fish I have ever seen
