Lake Destination:  We will be camping on a remote lake an hour north of the town of Chapleau, ON.  The lake is peppered with islands and rocky shoreline.  Our enormous screen tent, provides a bug free environment to relax and cook in.  You can expect to see great wildlife at this location.  Lake depth is from 5’ to 35’. 

Travel:  9 Hours of travel from Traverse City, we will leave Wednesday  early morning and return late Monday night.  Travel to the lake will      include several miles on a rugged two track.  Travel in and out by boat is a rugged wilderness experience and you will be prepped ahead of time for a safe and enjoyable travel experience.

Fishing Expectations:  The walleye are plentiful on this lake and their size is larger than most typical lakes in Canada.  In addition, it is common to catch 30”+ Northern on this lake.  Fishing techniques are jigging,      trolling and casting of spoons, rapelas and crankbaits. 

Safety:  Safety will be our first priority.  There will be medical evacuation plans in place, we plan to carry satellite phones, a detailed First Aid Kit & will practice water safety guidelines.
