Fishing
Do you offer "catch
and keep" or "catch and release" fishing?
We offer both. Fishing on our main chain of seven lakes
is "catch and keep" per your fishing license
limits. Most Waterfalls Lodge
guests keep a few walleye and perch for shore lunches,
releasing the smallmouth and larger northern pike. The
smallmouth bass and northern pike populations are self-sustaining,
and we are able to replenish this excellent walleye fishery
each year.The Lodge supports an 18 year long walleye hatchery
and rearing pond program in conjunction with the local
Anglers and Hunters Association and the Ministry of Natural
Resources. As a result, the May-June 2006 issue of In-Fisherman's
"Walleye Insider" magazine selected Tube Lake
(the lake Waterfalls Lodge is on) as one of its "Top
12 Picks" for "North America's Top Walleye Waters".
Fishing on the remote outpost lakes is "catch and
release". There is no reason to take fish from these
pristine fisheries.

Can I buy my fishing or hunting
license at Waterfalls Lodge?
Yes, at our Camp Store you can purchase your fishing,
bear, moose or small game licenses. Our store also offers
live bait, tackle, drinks, snacks, ice, gas, oil, postcards,
stamps, shirts, hats and souvenirs.

What kind of tackle do I need
to bring?
You'd be surprised how simply we fish here. So, we'd
suggest bringing your rod, reel and tackle box. Start
with what you have. If you need anything while you're
here you can find a large selection of tackle at our Bait
& Tackle Shop to buy as you need it.

When are the fishing and
hunting seasons?
The northern pike and lake trout fishing is fantastic
during the month of May. Northern pike fishing continues
to be great from June through October, however the lake
trout are suspended in 75-80 feet of water during this
period. Walleye season opens the third Saturday in May.
They are in the shallows then and remain there until the
3rd week of June. Thereafter fish for them in the early
morning and late evening. Smallmouth bass season opens
the last Saturday in June. The smallies are incredibly
active for the balance of the season.
We hunt for bear during the first two weeks of September,
and we hunt for moose in mid-October. Grouse hunting is
available from September 15th through October.

How
do I know where to start fishing on the lakes?
Upon arrival our American Plan and Evening Meal Plan
guests will be treated to a lake orientation cruise by
the owner or one of our experienced guides. On this guided
tour of the lakes we'll give you valuable information
on lake features and current conditions.
Back

What
do I need to have on the boat to go out on the lakes?
According to the small vessel regulations, every time
you take your boat out you are responsible for having
a life jacket (proper size for you), a safety kit (with
floating rope, operating watertight flashlight, and whistle),
a bailer, a paddle, and an anchor. These items are supplied
with your boat, and they must remain with the boat.
