Canada Fishing Trip Suggestions

I'm looking to put together a fishing trip for about 6 people to Canada for late July or early August of this year. Does anyone have any places that they go to or have been to that they would recommend? Interested in walleye, smallmouth, and northerns. Would be leaving from the Green Bay area and would prefer not having to trailer our own boats. All types considered, i.e. fly-ins, drive-ins, etc. If you could include the phone numbers and possibly the prices of the places, if available, would appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello, I am a pro angler that has a GREAT suggestion for winter walleyes. Visit the Red River near Winnipeg Manitoba. At the Lockport Dam there is increadable walleye fishing. The fish are on avarage about 5-7 lbs with the odd 12 pounder! Use a 1/4 oz. jig with a Berkly 3inche PowerShad Chart. Colour. Good Luck and safe fishing!.

I've always had a great time at Eagle Lake. It's a drive-up. The lake has numerous lodges which offer good value and great facilities (cabins, food, boats, etc). I have created a website which contains lots of info about the lake and travelling to Canada for fishing (rules and regs, crossing the border, etc). The website has numerous links to lodges on the lake. My brother and I will be up there the first part of Aug.

There are many lodges that offer what you are after in western Ontario/Manitoba. There are three that come to mind that have what you are after - all are on the Winnipeg River system (Manitoba side) - Trail end Camp, Eagle Nest Lodge< and Pine Island Lodge. The latter two have webpages (try a search). There is pretty good fishing at all three, although Pine Isle/Eaglenest are remote and offer extreme wilderness (you drive to their landig docks and are then shuttled to their respective lodges upriver by boat) and have drop-jaw scenery . All offer good boat rentals.
Although it would be hard to catch huge wally's during the summer, some are there...however, both lodges offer day trips to Crowduck lake, a catch and release walleye haven that will have you absolutely sick of catching good sized fish.
There is a fella who frequents these pages who goes by "rivereye" - he would be the one to talk to as I believe he is involved with one of the lodges and I'm sure he will be glad to give you more detail than I can.
All of the above spots have northerns, smalies, and walleye.
Hope this helps, e-mail me if you have any more questions - ie what to bring, wear, weather, or maps. etc!
Good luck !
Chris

If you need any info on the fishery feel free to e-mail me or post some questions. I guide part time at Eagle Nest Lodge, so I'm kind of biased on which lodge to pick. Eagle Nest is a little bit more upscale, nicer boats, nicer layout. But in any case, both lodges are top notch (don't tell my boss I said that). There are a billion lodges out there, and what sets this fishery apart is the diversity. You can fish fast current, weeded bays, still-water, reefs and holes. The main fish are walleye, pike and smallmouth and the fun part is, no matter what you're fishing for, the other two fish are usually always there to surprise you.

Another big difference is that it's only a 2 hour drive from the Winnipeg International Airport. But still extremely secluded.

We are a boat-in lodge at the end of the road in NW Ontario. Rates plans etc....at <http://www.southbaylodge.com> We will be in Green Bay at the All Canada Show accross from the football stadium Thur-Sunday next week. Feb 17-20.

Crow Duck Lake is the place to go. The American friends I have taken up there will be coming back every single year, because it is "HAWG" heaven.
