Fishing with Pilot's Lodge

Guests choose the Pilot's Lodge because the Found du Lac River offers outstanding fishing for big Northern Pike, Walleye, Arctic Grayling, and plenty of Whitefish. The rugged shoreline offers sheltered bays, underwater structures and an active fishery where the lake takes in water.

The big fish here are the Northern Pike which reach into the 40 plus inch range. There are plenty of opportunities to fish for 5-9 pound Walleye. Thanks to the inflow of the found du Lac River, the arctic Grayling here are large and wily.

Your rental includes a boat and fuel. Guests are expected to bring their own rods, reels, and fishing gear. Fishermen fish from aluminum boats with seating and good engines.

Guest Accommodations: Guest stay in out cabins that are equipped with a kitchen and dining area. Overall expect comfortable cabins that are bit on the rustic side, but that offer a cozy retreat, comfortable beds, and plenty of access to great fishing.

The takeaway for the Pilot's Lodge and fishing is that the local waters offer a variety of fishing environments. This is a haven for both spin casters and fly fishing and you have one of the rarer locations that offer both Walleye and Arctic Grayling. If you choose to target big Northern Pike, be sure to pack Pike-grade leaders as Pike make short work of regular fishing line.
