Lac Seul help for possible 1st trip in 07'

All:
I have never been to L/S and thought this would be a great place to get some information. I just started reading a few posts and it sounds like a great walleye lake. I am wanting to take my father and young(11) grandson somewhere and was thinking L/S may be the place for us. We like to catch about everything(smallmouth,northern,walleye
crappie/perch) and was wondering about the above species. From what little I have read it sounds like a great walleye lake but I also wondered about the other species?

We have been to LOTW a couple of times and it seems like "you" like L/S better? Could you also recommend a lodge(s) that offer housekeeping cabins and we typically bring our own boat. Also, we like to stay on the mainland nd not an island. We would also like suggestions for your thoughts on time of year to go as we are flexible but want to go during a great time(even though that means the weather may not be the best). Oh, we do not mind trailering our boat to another lake for a day if that means "x" lake has great bass fishing or great crappie fishing,etc.

Thanks guys.

Right at the mouth of Vaughn Lake would mean right in the dead centre of the reserve. Is that correct?

hello about ur question, we are not exactly in the middle of the "reserve" call for more details, you;ll see our number here sumwhere...

Hoosier, If I were you I would go to an established Resort on Lac Suel. By that I mean one that has been in business for years and has an established reputation. There are many fine Resorts on Lac Seul and a look on this site will tell you about many of them. Call ASAP as the good ones have a lot of repeat business and the faster you confirm reservations the better chance you have of having a great trip with a good outfitter.

No Thanks...Thanks
I did a search and found 3-4 results mentioned and asked them the same questions and also asked them for literature. That was a couple days ago and I have not had an email response yet but I'm sure they're busy running their camps so I would expect to hear something this week.

I also remember reading a thread about someone saying the smallmouth fishing on L/S was getting better every year. There seem to be a LOT of activity on L/S here on W/C and I am simply looking to try and find a nice place that has excellent fishing to take my father next year(07') and grandson(probably in 08').

Can you recommend and resorts and what is your opinion(s) about the fishing?

Thanks.

Hoosier....Check out the "Lost Island Lac Seul" post on this WC Canada site. There is good info about several Lac Seul Lodges. I have only been fishing Lac Seul for 5 years and we stay at a friends house close to the lake. The others who post are more knowledgable thn I.

according to, no thanks, noboby should ever open a new lodge because you should only go to established ones. I guess that means that if you are the first to open a lodge on a lake you should have that lake all to yourself because you are the only establiushed lodge there, but wait if you just opened up the first lodge on a lake you aren't established either. I guess there should be no lodges on any lake then. I would bet he either has something against the new lodge owners or he's a competitor that's afraid of compitition.

Or he could be like me. I prefer to have people pay to advertise on this site. This site provides a great service for all of us, without the advertising dollars I don't think it would continue to exist. Besides, how would you like to be one of the guy's who did write a check to advertise here?

Just my opinion.

If that's his point,why not just say it like you did.

KSauers, Sorry if I offended you but I do believe that a first timer to a lake will have a better opportunity to enjoy himself and catch more fish at an established resort. I also believe that Lac Seul Adventures is doing their best to take advantage of WC with its attempts to advertise their existence on this site. That indiscretion alone should tell us something about how they will run their lodge. Why dont you go there next year and tell us all about their quality of service.
