How It Works

Bringing Your Own Boat? Enjoy Two Incredible Fishing Destinations!

If you already own the boat you like fishing from, there is no reason to rent ours. This package is lodging, all your meals at the Lodge and a dock to tie up to.

Muskie Bay Resort is located directly on beautiful Crow Lake, offering private docks where guests can keep their boats throughout their stay.

For those wanting to explore the legendary Lake of the Woods, we provide a separate private boat launch on Stevens Bay, giving anglers access to vast fishing opportunities throughout Stevens Bay, Sabaskong Bay, Whitefish Bay, and beyond.

Once you are here, you can keep it simple or add to it. Guide time by the day and rentals for anyone in the group who did not bring a boat can be added to the booking.

Timing Your Trip

When to come, by species.

Ontario Zone 5 seasons, so you can time your trip around what you want to target. Confirm current regulations with the Ontario Ministry before you travel.

Walleye and sauger
Third Saturday of May to December 31
Muskellunge
Third Saturday of June to December 15
Northern pike
Open all year
Smallmouth bass
Open all year, catch and release only Jan 1 to Jun 30
Lake trout
January 1 to September 30
Black crappie
Open all year

Pike are open all year, smallmouth are catch and release only until July 1, walleye and muskie open in late May and June, and the fall muskie bite in September and October is what brings a lot of trailered boats north. In winter the dock closes but the fishing does not: see Ontario ice fishing.

Questions

Bringing your own boat, answered.

What does the bring your own boat package include?

Lakeview lodging, all your meals, dock and launch access with parking and wharfage on Crow Lake and Lake of the Woods, light maid service, and full use of the hot tub, sauna and fire pit patio. A 3-day package is $470 USD per person, with packages up to 7 days. See the rates page for booking terms.

Can I add guide time or rentals?

Yes. Guide time by the day and boat rentals can both be added. Ask Paul when you book so he can plan for your group.

Where do I launch and where does the boat stay?

You launch directly from our dock onto Crow Lake, with access through to Lake of the Woods. Parking for your truck and trailer, launching and wharfage are all included, and your boat stays at the dock for the week rather than being pulled every evening.

What do I need to bring a boat into Canada?

You cross at a land border with your boat on the trailer and report it to Canada Border Services like any other vehicle. Bring your registration, proof of ownership or insurance, and your passport. Rules on live bait, firewood and invasive species change, so check the current Canada Border Services and Ontario Ministry guidance before you travel. Call Paul at 807-271-3015 if you want to talk through the crossing. Read our guide to crossing into Canada for a fishing or hunting trip before you travel.

Is there anywhere to clean fish?

Yes, fish cleaning facilities are on site, along with a bathroom and changing room by the lake.

Can I add guide time if I am running my own boat?

Yes. Semi-guided support can be added by the day, where Jake runs his boat alongside yours and puts you on fish. It is a common way for guests who know their own rig but not these lakes to get up to speed quickly.
