"The scenic Georgian Bay Archipelago is one of the world's natural wonders with over 30,000 islands stretching from Honey Harbour to the French River!"

Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Large and Smallmouth Bass along with Walleye abound among the thousands of small islands, shoals and locations that include Blackstone Harbour, Woods Bay and Dallas Rapids to name a few. Georgian Bay offers many opportunities for adventure, wildlife viewing and exceptional sportfishing.


What's in Store:

Georgian Bay is famous for its huge elusive muskies topping the scales at 50 lbs and plenty of large pike to make your arms fall off. Since 1964, your host Indrek Kongats, has fished and guided these waters and knows every musky lair.

Bring your own boat or canoe/kayak to fish at your lesuire, we will station you on some of the best fish holding spots depending on the time of year, fish from your own boat using your own equippment or rent tackle at camp! Georgian Bay is ideal for fly fishing for pike and Musky with over 30,000 islands and sheltered back bays to explore. We can rent you regular tackle and fly fishing tackle whatever you prefer.

Fly fishing for musky is all about the strike. The strike is unforgettable! We will hand tie all of your Musky flies to your specs including versions of our very own and infamous "Northern Tiger", all of which you can purchase at camp! Lively Musky flies are the ticket for catching big muskies and pike but the flies don't have to be big, 4-7" is the size range of the bait fish that they prey upon with the yellow perch being their favourite. Rain or shine these fish are furious eaters but will hammer your fly whether they're hungry or not, day and night.

Everyday we'll assign and direct you to a new area to fish. The beautiful Georgian Bay scenery will mesmerize you. Sleep soundly in comfortable tent cabins and enjoy all the food you can eat. This is an old fashioned fishing experience practising modern day sustainable catch and release.

SEASON:

Our season starts May 1st and runs through to November 30th. The huge advantage of our backcountry camps is that regardless of the season your are always where the action is. In the spring post spawning bays and inlets and in peak summer and fall deeper open water feeding zones. Morning top water action to the late afternoon bite is all at your door step and you are not fishing on the clock! But don't forget those relaxing afternoon naps after lunch!

Backcountry Accommodations are in a boat to safari style camp set up on the shores of Georgian Bay. Roomy wall tents for anglers are equipped with comfortable oversized cots, rugs, tables and chairs. Meals are served in a separate dining and kitchen tent.
