You carry only your fishing rod, and maybe your shorelunch for the day. By boat, you can travel from Midway Lake West to Midway Lake East through a scenic remote waterway about 5 miles long.

Both lakes are full of Smallies and fast action Pike. Many of our guests report moose sightings in this area. Now if you are not too tired, we have another portage (4 minute walk) from Midway Lake to Beauty Lake. Beauty Lake is our fighting Lake Trout destination, along with some more of the nicest Smallmouth bass that you will ever see.
From here we have one more portage for the devoted Walleye Fisherman.

Norse Lake is a prime example of a remote Canadian fly-in wilderness lake. The lake is protected by high picturesque landscape.

Schools of Walleye average 1-3 lbs., with 4-10 lb. trophies caught every season. The lake also sports a healthy population of Northern Pike with trophies reaching up to and over 40 inches every season.

The lake system consists of numerous channels and bays with structure consisting of rock outcrops, points and weed beds (with the deepest part of the lake being over 150 feet). The lake is surrounded by high picturesque terrain that allows anglers to fish even on the windiest days. This lake is situated in a very remote area set aside from all logging activity. Its a true Canadian Wilderness vacation.
Great fishing experiences on Populus lake begin right from the cabin. You can fish the weed beds and points for walleye and northern pike or troll and jig the depths for lake trout. The north end of the lake also offers the angler the opportunity to hook onto a muskie. Walleyes run from two to six pounds with trophies caught every season.

Black Wolf Lodge (On a Point with Sheltered Bay View - Only Cabin on the Lake)

Picture in your mind a cool, gin clear Canadian lake with lots of fighting trophy Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike and you've got Treelined Lake. The Smallmouth in this lake are averaging 17 - 18 inches (2-3 lbs.) on every catch with 4 - 5 lb. fish (20-22 inches) taken regularly. The Northern Pike are averaging 5 - 7 lbs. on every catch with 15 - 20 lb. lunkers taken every season. This lake is remarkably clear in that you will be able to sight-fish the Smallmouth Bass close to the shoreline. A camera is a must for this outpost as you will witness follow-ups to the boat with 2-3 Bass at any one time. Wildlife is also abundant in this area. It is very possible to see Moose feeding along the shoreline during the twilight hours and nesting Eagles right across the bay from your cabin. And of course, you can always expect to hear the call of the Canadian Loon to break the silence every evening. This is a beautiful, unspoiled adventure that only a Canadian fly-in trip can offer.Black Wolf Lodge, is a deluxe, two-bedroom cabin with cathedral ceiling, skylights, large screened-in porch with wraparound deck, complete kitchen facilities, hot & cold running water and hot showers.

We have a new fly-in outpost lodge. The lodge is called "Chalet Outpost" and is located on Gordie Lake, part of the Campfire River system. Fast action Northern Pike and Walleye with dark water, lots of structure to fish, a waterfall, rocks and weed beds. It is a flowage system. We just finished building the cabin this spring. The lake is in two parts. The upper portion where the cabin is 2-1/2 miles long and has the river dumping into it over a small set of rapids. Across from the cabin is the outflow river that you boat down and go into the second part of the lake, which is a big heart shaped body of water with rock and weed beds and is about 2 miles across. The river continues south from this part of the lake. We are the only outfitter on this system and it is the only cabin on the lake. The average Walleye is 1 to 2 lbs with larger ones caught in the 5 lb. range and Northern Pike are 24 to 30 inch average with 40 inch fish caught. The lake has not been used as an outpost in over 15 years. We have fished it on occasion as a boat cache lake and then last summer while the contractors were building the cabin they fished in the evenings with good success and good numbers. We feel it is going to be one of our better lakes because of the Campfire river system that runs through it. The lodge is a five star cabin with two bedrooms that sleep six. The living room/dining room is open concept with a woodstove and futon in the living area. Large bright kitchen has propane stove, refrigerator, hot and cold running water and solar lights. All cooking utensils are provided. There is a bathroom with shower and sink. There is a backup generator for lights. A large screened in porch out front facing the lake as well as a deck to spend some time relaxing when not on the lake. We have a propane barbeque and fish cooker located outside for you to use. There is a fish cleaning table by the lake. All new boats and motors for this season. We are using 14' boats with 6 hp Yamaha motors. The boats have raised swivel seats, landing nets, paddles, life jackets and bait buckets.

This has proven to be a positive approach to the remote fly-in fishing experience and gives you, our guest, the best opportunity to catch a lot of fish including the "big one".

From either airport we are only 2-1/2 hours away. Many of our guests rent a vehicle or use a van service for the last leg of their trip into Kenora.
