   Walleye fishing and
Northern Pike
fishing 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 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 months the walleye fishing tend 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 months to fish for Northern Pike are July
and August followed by September. Fishing 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 seed 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 lartge plugs tend 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 packages and is an extra with our Housekeeping
or Housekeeping with
Dinners 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 and really great meals.
We offer flexibility in your fishing vacation by allowing you
to choose from Housekeeping,
Housekeeping with Dinners,
