We are grateful to share John’s fantastic tips on where to catch walleye on one of our best lakes.

Where To Catch Walleye

Here are three sure-fire locations to succeed with the walleye at Wap.

One spot is in 100 yards off the sitting area on the lake.

Unlimited Walleye Near Wapikaimaski Cabin

Instructions for catching walleye, as written by John, on his hand-drawn map:

A bottom bouncer is the ticket to start catching the unlimited number of walleye right by the cabin. You’ll need a minnow or leach and a floating jig head or a Linde spinner blade lure.

Bring the bouncer from the deep to the reef. Set it down at 30ft depth. Bring it up as you feel it hit bottom on the reef.

Walleye every time, sometimes two!

Must have:

• depth finder,
• 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz jigs,
• 1/2 and 3/4 oz bottom bouncers,
• floating jigs and linde spinner rigs.
• Minnows, leaches or crawlers

Those 15HP 4 strokes are the best!!!

What To Bring Fishing

Awesome Fishing Trip Questions From Tony

 Are pork rinds or rubber trailers on a jig good enough or do we need leeches? 

We have live minnows and leeches available for purchase at our base – easily the best bait for walleye, smallmouth and pike.

 Should the black flies be done by then? 

A lot of people ask about how bad the mosquitoes and black flies are each year. The peak season for the nasty insects is mid-May until the end of June, but it depends on how dry the season is. Reports from guests this year give us a feeling that bugs were a little under-average early in the season, but the recent wet and rainy weather could change that quickly. Be sure to come prepared with an insect repellent that contains DEET – ‘Deep Woods OFF’ is a personal favorite.

 Is there toilet paper supplied? 

Our Outpost Cabins are equipped with everything to make your stay comfortable, but you are responsible to bring food, linen, and personal supplies. Often there is toilet paper available – but we do recommend you bring a dry roll… just to be sure. Get all the details when you download our Fishing Trip Checklist!

 Are top water poppers good for the smallmouth? 

In the early spring, smallmouth will strike at top-water lures. White and yellow are good colors. As the waters warm, they will move deeper – and jigs with a minnow are a great option.

Best Regards, Tony D

Thanks Tony! See You Soon!

Time Together

Our remote Ontario fly-in fishing trips create moments of togetherness that strengthen and renew a family because many of our fully-equipped outpost cabins are without distraction of television, computer or cell phones!

The laughs, the tales of who caught the biggest fish, the quiet moments in the mist of early morning, or roasting marshmallows on the campfire, are all powerful ways to bring generations together.

World Class Fishing!

Our large variety of remote fly in fishing lakes present the opportunity to land 8-10 lb. Walleye, amazing Smallmouth Bass sport fishing and we also have world-class Northern Pike fishing lakes well-known for trophy-sized Pike that grow to well over 40 inches!

Our catch and release policy ensures that these monster fish are there to produce more great big offspring. If handled correctly – these big northerns live on to test the angling skills of all our guests, and produce more offspring, for years!

Cabin and Lake Choices

Families and other large groups often enjoy our fishing trip package with options for a remote outpost cabins with near-by sand beaches. In addition to amazing fishing, here you can just relax, catch some rays, and soak up the vastness of the wilderness while you spend time with family and friends.

The atmosphere of being on the water and anticipating what the next cast will bring, or sitting on the deck or in the sauna, now, everyone in your group can enjoy an Ontario fly-in fishing trip – and the breathtaking view – in their own way.

Fly In Fishing Tips from John

Here is an example of the type of information we would like to post from one of our longtime  guests John Crosetto.

Warning you may be attacked by fish!

Loganberry was unbelievable for walleye. We could catch big ones anytime we wanted and very close to the cabin. We kind of walleye fished in the evenings and spent most of our time searching for the giant pike.

Although we did not catch a pike over 45″ which was our goal we did get 12 or 15 of them over 40″. What we used were Storm swim baits, 5″ long with a single hook coming out its back. We fished it in the weedy areas at both ends of the lake, mostly the end closest to the cabin. These were pretty weedless. Also we cast double bladed buck tail spinners with big bushy and shiny tails. This worked good to.

I did spend a lot of time dragging the bottom of the lake with those giant Grandma plugs. The lake is perfect for this depth wise. The deepest part of the lake I found was 35 feet. I caught fish consistently with this approach but nothing big. I found this strange.

I would love to fish Loganberry in May when those Pike are picking off the spawning suckers and walleye in the running water. There are many huge Pike in that lake. Top water baits or live suckers would be unbelievable.

Generally, eating fish is very beneficial to the health of any individual. Among the benefits you can expect to get from fish include a good source of protein, vitamins and the so important omega oils. There is no need to eat fish in moderation while on your Fly in Fishing Trip. Have walleye for breakfast, lunch and supper the entire time you are on your vacation!

At Kashabowie Outposts, we give you picture perfect fly-in fishing trips at our exclusive private access lakes. Our lakes are so remote that the only sounds you’ll ever hear are the birds and the sound of the water lapping at your boat.

The Fishing Is What It’s All About!

The real highlight of your trip is the fishing! For more than twenty years, we have taken exquisite care to preserve and develop our fisheries. Our catch and release practices over the decades have led to our lakes boasting teeming populations of some of the largest trophy walleye, northern bass and smallmouth bass in all of Canada.

Where To Find The Best Smallmouth Bass Habitat

The optimal habitats of the smallmouth bass include cool, clear lakes and streams. These fish need abundant shade and cover as they’re used to hiding in the darkness. This is what makes them especially challenging to catch and great for sport fishing. Smallmouth bass also thrive in deep pools and streams with moderate to low currents.

However, it’s also a well known fact that smallmouth bass grow fastest in lakes and reservoirs. Of course, it goes without saying that several of our pristine lakes offer the best environment possible for smallmouth bass populations!

Since smallmouth bass love clear lakes deeper than 20 feet at most places, our top remote lakes qualify as excellent environments for smallmouth bass to thrive. This species likes deep lakes because of the ample cover they provide. In the heat of the summer, smallmouth bass love cool deep spots in our lakes.

Many of our lakes perfectly fit all the criteria of ideal habitats for the smallmouth bass! This is exactly why there is no better place than our pristine private fly-in lakes for some of the very best Canadian smallmouth bass fishing.

We’re proud to say that our lakes boast some of the biggest smallmouth bass fish that you can find anywhere in Canada. This is a direct result of our excellent natural lake ecosystem management at Kashaboiwe Outposts and also the pure natural features and ideal environments that our lakes provide for smallmouth bass populations.

 

Planning Your Smallmouth Bass Fishing Trip

Each of our fly in fishing lakes have unique natural characteristics. We can help you choose the best Outpost Cabin for you – based on what kind of species you’d like to fish for.

It’s possible to fly in to any of our bass fishing lakes starting from our base at Eva Lake, located just east of Atikokan, Ontario.

At Kashabowie Outposts, all of our lakes have unique environments that let multiple species thrive in their calm, clear and ideally deep waters. Walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, take your pick. Our lakes also form great backdrops for bass fishing pics that you’ll cherish over a lifetime.

We provide some of the most beautiful remote fishing outpost lodges in this part of Canada, with excellent views overlooking pristine natural surroundings and lakes.

If you are looking for prime Canadian fly in fishing in the best smallmouth bass habitat, then some of the biggest smallmouth bass you’ll ever catch are only a short flight away…

In our busy, hectic lives we often find precious few moments to relax, and there’s nothing more relaxing than fishing.

The Rarity Of True Solitude

The problem, though, is that there are so few places where we can truly be alone. We know it’s for the good of the environment that fishing areas are so heavily regulated, but it can often feel as if we’re standing in a crowd when we go fish by a river or lake. Too many fishermen and not enough shore to go around.

Wouldn’t it be nice, then, to really get away from the crowds? To enjoy the wonders of nature in perfect solitude by the side of a pristine lake teeming with fish?

There’d be no better break from the fast lane, and that’s why we at Kashabowie Outposts believe a Canadian fly in fishing vacation should be on every fisherman’s bucket list.

Some Of The Best Trophy Fishing In Canada

The remote location of our ten fly in fishing resorts – deep in the wilderness of Northwestern Ontario – makes for the best Canadian Fly in Fishing Vacation on earth! Over a decade of catch and release programs in action at these remote outpost lakes mean that you’ll find more full grown trophy fish than you could hope to find almost anywhere else.

Ontario fly in resorts offer some of the best fishing lakes in Canada for walleye, smallmouth bass and northern pike, with populations that have been carefully developed over the years with the intention of providing the best fishing experience possible.

 
Low Fishing Pressure

One of the greatest problems facing fishing enthusiasts today is the fact that the pressure on our available lakes, rivers and oceans has become so great that it can often be difficult to get a single bite. Aquatic populations are hammered every day by hobby and commercial fishermen, and the fish simply don’t have the chance to recover their numbers. Fishing just isn’t the same as it once was.

In our remote fly in fishing resorts, however, the golden age of fishing is still here. The low fishing pressure at these out of the way lakes means that fish populations are always healthy, and the lakes teem with fish of numerous species.

 
A Family Bonding Experience

‘Family time’ was once a revered ritual. Parents would bond with their children, children would learn from their parents, and whatever the activity it brought families closer together. Today, though, it often seems as if family time has been replaced with TV time, Internet time and video game time.

Out on the shore of a remote Canadian lake, though, there are no distractions. In most places, you are the only cabin on the entire lake! Each Outpost Camp is equipped with a radio phone, so you can contact the outside world, but there are no cell phones to interrupt a conversation, no text messages, and no Internet to get in the way of just spending time together. There’s just the peace and quiet we once had, and the time for a father to really listen to his children, appreciate them – and snap lots of pictures!

Our Ontario fly in fishing outpost cabins are the ideal place to reconnect with your kin or old friends. Far from the distractions of modern life you can rediscover the simple pleasures of spending time together, sharing fantastic fishing you’ll never forget, and enjoying the wonders of this breathtaking nature – as a family.


 
A Haven Of Comfort In The Wilderness

Of course, the outstanding fishing at our Canadian lakes come complete a stay in a remote outpost cabin.

With Kashabowie Outposts, you can be surrounded the beauty of the wilderness, and enjoy modern touches to offer comforts that make your stay a true vacation.

A propane powered fridge and stove will allow you to enjoy your catch, and solar lights, hot and cold water and indoor showers and many other amenities will offer much needed relaxation after a long day enjoying the outdoors.

Plan Your Canadian Fly in Fishing Vacation

There’s really no vacation better for a family than a trip to one of our Fly in Outposts. With world class fishing, beautiful surroundings, comfortable accommodation and endless, blissful peace and quiet there’s nowhere better on earth for a family to come together. Kids and adults alike will remember their Canadian Fly In Fishing Vacation for a lifetime.
