Perfect for experienced anglers who prefer full independence on the water. If you would still like local knowledge on where the bite is without a guide in the boat all day, compare this with semi-guided fishing. Our deluxe rental comes ready to go: cleaned, gassed, charged, and spot-locked.
Please bring your own towels. Everything else (lodging, boat, gas, GPS, map chip, trolling motor) is handled.
50 hp motor, bow-mount trolling motor with spot lock, Garmin GPS with latest map chip. Cleaned, gassed, and charged.
Rental includes gas on portage lakes and the transport of the boat to various launches.
Use of boats and motors on our outpost lakes for a fly-in style day without the flight.
Modern cabin or motel unit with SAT TV, AC, Wi-Fi, hot tub, sauna, and fire-pit patio.
Direct access to Lake of the Woods and Crow Lake. Parking, launch, and wharfage included.
We have rental options year-round, including winter ice packages and fall-hunt combos.
Self-guided is the package for anglers who would rather read the water themselves. You get the boat, the electronics and the lakes, and the rest of the week is yours.
Before you go, read up on Crow Lake and our guide to muskie fishing trips in Ontario.
The rental is a deluxe 18 ft boat with a 50 hp motor, a bow-mount trolling motor with spot lock and a Garmin GPS running the current Lake of the Woods map chip. Spot lock in particular changes how you fish here, because it holds you over a reef or a point in wind that would otherwise push you off in seconds.
You are not fishing blind either. Paul and Jake are on this water constantly, and they will tell you what has been producing and where before you pull away from the dock. Most guests find that a five minute conversation at the dock is worth more than a morning of searching.
The portage lakes are the part people underestimate. We keep boats and motors staged on several small lakes back off the main system, and we transport your rental to the launches, so you can fish genuinely remote water without chartering a floatplane.
Ontario Zone 5 seasons, so you can plan your week around what you most want to catch. Confirm current regulations with the Ontario Ministry before you travel, since dates can change year to year.
Northern pike are open all year in Zone 5 and smallmouth can be fished catch and release before July 1, so there is no dead week here. Late May and June bring the walleye and muskie openers, midsummer is the best multi-species fishing, and September and October are when the serious muskie anglers come. In winter the same lodging pairs with Ontario ice fishing instead.
Lakeview lodging plus a deluxe 18 ft boat with a 50 hp motor, gas, a Garmin GPS with the current map chip and a bow-mount trolling motor with spot lock. It also includes use of the boats and motors we keep staged on our outpost and portage lakes, and transport of your rental to the launches. A 3-day package is $500 USD per person with three anglers in a boat, or $580 USD with two, with packages up to 7 days. Full pricing is on our rates page.
No, but you should be comfortable running a boat on big water. Crow Lake and Lake of the Woods are large and full of structure. Every rental carries a Garmin GPS with the current map chip, and Paul or Jake will mark up where fish have been coming from before you launch. If you would rather have someone in the boat for the first day or two, semi-guided fishing is the better starting point.
Yes. Gas is included, and so is transporting the boat to the various launches and portage lakes. There is no fuel surcharge at the end of the week.
Self-guided includes our rental boat with its gas, electronics and portage-lake access. Bring your own boat is for anglers trailering their own rig, and covers lodging and dock access instead of a boat. If you own a boat and want to fish from it, that is the cheaper option.
Yes. Guide time can be added by the day. Most self-guided groups who do this use it on the first day to learn the water, then fish the rest of the week on their own.
Bring your own towels. Rods and tackle if you have favourites, plus rain gear, polarized sunglasses and an Ontario fishing licence. Everything else, the boat, gas, GPS, map chip and trolling motor, is handled.
