Northern Ontario Fly-In Fishing Camp

Sydney Lake Lodge is a Fly-In Fishing Lodge north of Minaki, southwest of Red Lake Ontario Canada. We offer fly-in fishing trips for walleye, northern pike and lake trout.

The fishing camp is located on the South East corner of Woodland Caribou Park and on the northern fringe on Ontario's Trophy Waters.

I am hoping this blog will be a good way to talk about Sydney Lake and my life in Red Lake. Please feel free to post and to contact me with any questions.

Kane County Goose & Duck Hunt

Enjoyed the hunt the other day. To bad we were all done shooting by 8:15 am. You would not think that this kind of shooting is available in Kane County. There sure were a lot of Geese and Ducks. The contact I have is the Hunting Manager for Kenyon Farms (3000 acres or so) and arranges hunts every day. The season closes January 12, 2009. You will need camouflage, hunting licenses, shells (BB shot) and a stool/bucket to sit on, the blind and decoys (100+) are provided. According to the hunt manager there will always be seven to ten other hunters so we will not be by ourselves. Phil and Dick are in the back row of the photo,if you would like to shoot someday, let them know.

Sydney Lake trip July 2008
The lake trout pictures are just one of the many that we would catch every day. We will see you again in August 2009. Also, I have made a video of our 2008 Sydney trip that is posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcQu_NpLQBQ



The large Pike was caught near the Gap on the last day of our trip in September 2007. The morning temperature was 30 deg F that morning and the lake was blanketed in fog.
