Does anyone have any info on this outfitter? Planning a trip next August, and trying to do my homework. Thanks.​

I have never heard of them. Out of curiosity, what made you drawn to them? There are so many great outfitters in Ontario. I have a bunch I could offer you and there are countless others on the site that can do the same.
If you cannot find anything good/bad/other regarding them, then I would move on to another opportunity!

Thanks for responding! I found them with a google search. Next to no info about them on the web. I am looking for a drive in camp that’s mostly a fishing camp, without a ton of people on the lake. Other basic criteria is indoor plumbing (gotta keep the wife happy!), hopefully within 6 or so hours of the Soo. We would like to mostly target pike. The two places that are towards the top of my search were Happy Day Lodge, and Red Pine Lodge. Both sound pretty nice. Thank you.

If you want pike, book a cabin here for early July -
Bruce Bay Cottages & Lighthouse
82 French Island Rd, Bruce Mines, ON P0R 1C0, Canada
+1 705-785-3473

A 2-3 mile run west of there will get you tons of pike, and you probably will see one or no other boats fishing each day. If you get interested, I can give you plenty of info on the area.

Thanks piketroller That does look pretty interesting. Due to a college schedule, I believe we are locked into that mid August time frame. I will be double checking on that though. Is there any bass fishing available in the vicinity?

There’s good bass fishing around here

But by late August there’s a good chance a lot of bass could be had right near those cabins. Once you get around Dawson Island and further west, it fishes like a warm water inland lake with water temps in the low 60’s and weeds just coming in thick enough to hold fish. It’s pike fishing paradise. At this time, out by Bruce Mines the water will be in the low 50’s. By mid August, the good pike water will be weeded in so thick it’s hard to fish, plus the water will be very warm. This pushes the pike out to cooler deeper water and makes them harder to find. You’ll have the same issue that time of year on inland lakes unless you go so far north that the water never gets above 65 degrees.

This might be a better place for mid August

Thanks again, I appreciate the info. We’ll be checking all suggestions out.

I agree with mallard, look at a different lake. It looks to small to me to offer good fishing. Maybe I'm wrong.
