Great Canadian
Walleye Fishing and Northern Pike Fishing
Vacation Resort Lodge in Northern Ontario Canada
Walleye
fishing vacations and Northern Pike fishing vacations in
Ontario Canada is relaxing, comfortable and easy at our
secluded island vacation lodge and resort in the remote
Canadian wilderness of Northern Ontario Canada. Lake
Wabatongushi is a prolific Walleye and Northern Pike fishing
lake with an abundance of great fishing habitat. Catching
shore lunch or your fish dinner is relatively easy and you
have the added bonus of numerous opportunities to see and
photograph wildlife such as Moose, Black Bear, Loons and Bald
Eagles.
Wabatongushi Lake is a relatively shallow and
friendly fishing lake for Northern Ontario Canada with an
average depth of 17'. It's 10,000 acre area contains an
abundance of varied fish structure such as rocky reefs,
sandbars and weed beds allowing easy fishing for Walleye,
Northern Pike and Perch. The
extensive shallow bays are ideal fish spawning areas for
northern pike while the many rocky reefs and 27 rivers and
streams make optimum walleye fish spawning areas.
The best
vacation months to fish for Walleye are May, followed by June
then September. The water is cooler in the spring and late
summer making the walleyes more aggressive. Fishing first
thing in the spring the Walleyes fishing tends to be best the
river mouths and relatively shallow shoals, usually less than
15' of water. During the summer vacation months the walleye
fishing tends to be a little lazier but there is still no
problem catching plenty of fish. A lot of the summer Walleyes
are in the deep edges of the weed beds. In the fall the
walleyes go a little deeper although we still mostly catch
walleyes in less than 25' of water.
The best vacation
months to fish for Northern Pike are July and August followed
by September. Fishing when the abundant weed beds are up
produces lots of Northern Pike fishing action in July and
August and the Northern Pike are looking for food to grow. A
great idea is to take breaks to enjoy our great Jumbo Perch
fishing in the reed beds as well. May and June, the Northern
Pike are hungry but there are no weed beds to concentrate
their population. During the summer we have a lot of fun with
surface and shallow water baits. Fly
fishing for Northern Pike over the weed beds with with
long streamers or bunny bugs is a blast. In the spring and
fall trolling with the deeper running large plugs tends to be
a better fishing technique for Northern Pike.
Our 18' wooden fishing boats are hand built for us
out of cedar and oak. They are spacious, stable, comfortable
and quiet. Each fishing boat is fully equipped with an
environmentally friendly 9.9 hp Evinrude 4-stroke outboard
motor, Humminbird fish finder, 2 swivel cushion boat seats on
pedestals, anchor, paddles, emergency kit and life jackets. A
Minnkota electric trolling motor makes fishing easier and more
effective. Trolling motors for fishing are included with our
American Plan fishing vacation packages and is an extra with
our Housekeeping fishing vacation packages or Housekeeping
with Dinners fishing vacation packages.
Although catch and release fishing is not
mandatory, we strongly promote conservation of fishing
quality. We especially like to have the larger Walleye and
Northern Pike released as these are almost entirely our
healthiest and best spawning female fish. We have a
catch and release fishing program where we reward the efforts
of our guests in maintaining the high quality Walleye fishing
and Northern Pike fishing on Lake Wabatongushi. 
At our remote Canadian fishing resort we offer
very comfortable accommodations delicious meals and
enthusiastic service. We offer flexibility in your fishing
vacation by allowing you to choose from Housekeeping fishing
vacation packages, Housekeeping
with Dinners fishing vacation packages, or have all meals included on the American
