Fishing

We offer a 4 Day / 4 Night Housekeeping package to fish and explore the Ivanhoe Lake and River System. This 25 mile long lake/river system offers good Walleye/Northern Pike and good summer Jumbo Perch fishing.

Ivanhoe Lake is situated just off Hwy 101, and is 50 miles east of Chapleau Ontario and 60 miles west of Timmins Ontario. The lodge is 2 miles off the highway down a paved road,  that is used by cottagers and the provincial park.

The main lodge offers 2 VIP suites that sleep 4-10 persons with separate beds, and 2 other large cottages that also sleep 4-10 persons. We also offer 2 duplexes that on each side will comfortably sleep 2-4 persons, with full electric/TV, full kitchens and covered deck with a propane BBQ. Docking facilities for either your boats or our fleet of boats is a 100 foot floating dock with slips. Our boats come fully equipped with swivel boat seats, adult life jackets, safety kits, anchors, paddles, and minnow buckets…All you would need for our boats is a portable depth finder and your fishing tackle.

To talk about Ivanhoe Lake and the fisheries and experience to expect, Ivanhoe Lake is populated with a provincial park, and around 50 cottages. The cottages and Provincial Park are all located on the main body of water close to the lodge, and once you have entered the river there are only 5 buildings stretching over the next 20+ miles.

In our housekeeping package we offer the accommodations with full bedding supplied, full kitchen with dishes/pots/pans, microwave, toaster, coffee pot, electric heat, TV with Satellite dish, and access to the internet in the main lodge. We supply the first set of towels, so please bring extra beach towels.

The primary fisheries on Ivanhoe Lake is the walleye fishing. With the early morning or late evening fisherman expect on most evenings to catch enough to fill the frying pan. The Northern Pike are numerous throughout the system and large pike are in the system. There are a number of fishermen that come in the summer and target the 1 lb perch population, and armed with maps that we provide and a little coaching, we should be able with a little work and luck, do well on the perch fishing.

The Juniper Cottage, the 2 VIP suites in the main lodge, and the 4 Log suites next to the lodge:

We use 14 ft v-hull funds and 15hp Yamaha outboards at the lodge.  If you have an odd size party over 4 for the larger accommodations then you can rent an additional boat for an additional charge, if desired or fish 3 in a boat.

If your group is a mix of adults/children, or folks that do not fish … then  we can create an option with you when pricing out your package to reflect the actual number of boats that will be used for the group i.e. more than 2 adults per boat rented.  We also do see groups occasionally bringing up one boat, and then renting a second boat from Air Ivanhoe.
