Fishing with Peffley's Canadian Wilderness Camp

Wabaskang Lake offers an above average fishing population within the Northwest Region of Ontario. What that means for fishermen is a lot of good sized fish.

For Walleye fishermen expect plenty of 1-3 pound fish with opportunities to land 12-pound fish. The fish congregate near the weeds and sunken islands where food is plentiful.

For Northern Pike fishing expect fish in the ten-pound range with the possibility of 25 plus pound fish. The Northern Pike also frequent the weed beds in quiet bays and sheltered places. That is where the food is. The best time to target the big Northern Pike is August, with the last week of July and the first week of September being good times too.

Jumbo Perch offer some of the best eating fish around. Here they range in size from 9-14 inches. Jumbo Perch are very plentiful, and the limit is 50.

For quality, Smallmouth Bass fishing go no farther. The Smallmouth Bass range from 3-6 pounds and can be caught from a boat or fishing right off the pier.

The fishing here on Wabaskang Lake is good. This is also the only lodge on this end of the lake, so the waters are primed for fishing. Overall, expect excellent fishing, beautiful location, and comfortable cabins.
