Thunderhook Fly-in Advice

[fishkiller]

Hi,

My freinds and I are thinking about trying a ne fly-in camp this summer. We are thinking about going to one of the lakes that Thunderhook Fly-ins have. Has anyone ever used one of their camps? It sounded like a good deal from the info at the All-Canada Show, but of course they all have a pretty good pitch. Any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

hi, not familiar with thunderhook, but i looked at and received brochures and dvd's from wilderness north outfitters (www.wildernessnorth.com) and from mattice lake outfitters (www.walleye.ca). both looked very good and professionally run we just wanted to stay in eastern ont. or western quebec. one other place to put out "feelers" is walleye first(www.walleyefirst.com) they have a message board that may help. hope this helps!

It fished Smoothrock Camp several years ago. I can't say anything about the current owner, but the fishing was as good as any lake I have fished. I would recommend the Northern portions of the lake. There is a river coming in and a few narrows with current. So even in August fishing was easy. The Almos bay outpost area should be good. I personally would not like the Funger lake outpost; it seems kind of isolated and a long boat drive to get to other good water. I am not familiar with the other outpost.

FYI

Our group had issues with Wilderness North Outfitters. We will not be back.

Have no personal experience with Thunderhook but have used AWO out of Nakina 11 times. Number 12 coming in August. First class operation in all ways. Look at www.awonakina.com and you can e-mail me for additional personal info. wfsales@neo.rr.com Good fishing.

SkipG - I would be interested in hearing about your experience with Wilderness North. I fished Makokibatan Lake 8 times with Liddles Fishing Adventures and always had a great trip. Wilderness North purchased them last year. I am considering a trip there for 2009, but your post concerns me.

If you would rather comment off of this board, please e-mail me at dhiestan@columbus.rr.com.

Thanks, Crede
