Outpost Camps

Our Beautiful Lakes and Great Northern Fishing

At the south end of File Lake we have 5 cabins nestled away amongst tall timbers. Morton Lake lies to the South of File Lake. There are 2 cabins on the main land where Morton and File meet. On an island just across from these cabins is a set of 3 cabins. From the far South end of Morton to the N/W tip of File Lake is approximately 15 miles. Many exciting hours of fishing await on these lake sides. A week of fishing each year, and you will not need to fish the same bay twice.

• What are the accommodations like?

  On the Main lodge at Grass River we have 12 cabins, allowing between two to eight people each. The cabins have modern washroom facilities and we provide daily housekeeping to make sure you have everything you need.

• What do we need to bring along for Outpost Camps?

  Food, fishing gear, rain gear, warm jacket for early morning and evenings, mosquito repellent, towels, dish towels, dish soap and camera. For guest flying commercially we can arrange your grocery order and have it ready when you arrive.

  *Note to Our Outpost Guests.
  For the 2009 season, all baggage will be weighed. We have to adhere to the regulations set by Canada Transport Committee. We charge $300 if a second or additional aircraft is needed; So please streamline your gear and let’s fly safe for many years to come!

File Lake

This lake has Emerald clear waters 12 miles long and 5 miles wide. This lake can get very rough on windy days! But, it’s our outpost lake and it’s worth the trip because it has all 3 species of fish the Walleye, Northern Pike and lake Trout. Many of the Walleye are 24” to 28” long, and the Northern run up to 51” long. Early Spring and late fall are awesome fishing for lake Trout! Typically each boat catches between 80-120 Trout ranging between 18-24” long. The largest trout in 2008 36” long. What a beautiful lake!

Morton Lake

This outpost is the most unique around. It is approximately 7 miles long and 2 miles wide. With its darker water and vast weed beds, islands and underwater reefs it ensures the fastest action Walleye fishing in Canada. On an average day you can expect to catch from 75-to 100 fish per boat. Not only is it great Walleye fishing, but good Northern fishing as well. In the weed beds, sand bars and bays you’ll catch trophy fish including 41” to 46” long Pike. Out of the 25 years of enjoying this lake, Morton Lake has only gotten better and better!

Corley Lake

This magnificent lake is about ½ hour boat ride at the north end of File Lake. Seven miles through a winding river amidst towering tall pine timbers. Here you will find a tea colored lake about 2 miles long and it’s a gem! At the mouth of the lake is great Walleye fishing, from 18” to 26” long with a seemingly endless abundance of them. The far end of Corley is excellent for trophy Pike fishing producing 36” to 43” long Pike.

Vickers

Feeding off the northeast corner of File Lake, this lake offers the best Walleye fishing early in the season. In June and July the Walleye run between 27” to 29” long. We think it’s the spawning area until it warms up and then they move into File Lake. The Northern Pike range from 41” to 45” inches. I have had people fish this lake for 23 consecutive years and still love it like the first day they fished it!

Loonhead

This lake is as close as you can get to untouched waters! Loonhead is the farthest north of these five lakes and is rarely fished. It is approximately a 10-minute boat ride. The lake is 3 miles wide and 4 miles long. This is an exciting destination for those wanting to explore the opportunity to discover the trophy fish of their dreams. These fish seldom see a hook. A beautiful lake, nice sand bar bays, islands, and weed beds. A haven for Walleye and Northern.

Flyouts

We have 5 different lakes used for 1-day fly outs. We will fly you and your guide to a specific lake right after breakfast so you can enjoy the whole day fishing. These lakes are much smaller. Here we fish definitely bring in the big numbers but also very big fish. These lakes could never sustain a lodge or even a cabin, so we manage them very carefully to keep the fishing exquisite year after year. We allow shore lunch fish only. Sorry, no take home fish from this location. All are about a 12-minute flight from the main lodge. We fly in to pick you up around 5:00 pm This experience lets you see the true North from the air. This is a totally different perspective on Northern fishing. Most of the guests do at least 1 fly out during their stay. You will really enjoy this experience and if you are not happy, then the fly out is free!
