If you’re ready for a truly remote fishing trip, it’s time to travel to Mattice Lake Outfitters in Northwest Ontario. With our camps only accessible via flying, we’re about as remote as you can possibly get. So, if you want to fish with a small group of friends and loved ones in the peaceful wilderness, get ready to get to Armstrong Station, Ontario base and board a seaplane to one of our fishing camps. One fly-in fishing camp you might want to consider is Short Lake.

Walleye Fishing in Ontario

Short Lake is located on a section of the Ogoki Reservoir and was one of the original three lakes, which were combined to form this very large body of water back in the 1940s. If you’re looking to catch something big, Short Lake is the place for you. You can anticipate walleye catches that average from 3.5 to 4 pounds in huge numbers. You’ll also be able to find large northern pike, whitefish, and sturgeon. And you’ll do it all in a remote and beautiful slice of Northwestern Ontario.

Short Lake Accommodations

 When you come to fish at Short Lake, you’ll also be able to relax in style and comfort. We have a newly constructed, fully equipped modern, three-bedroom machined log cabin. Previously powered by propane, it now features electrical appliances, lighting, etc. powered by a newly installed 5-kilowatt solar system. You’ll have modern amenities such as electrical lights, a full-size electric refrigerator, an electric coffee maker, receptacles in all rooms and more, all while still enjoying the solitude of nature. This cabin features hot and cold running water, a full kitchen, all furnishings, a propane range, propane barbecue, wood stove for heat, shower, and large deck for relaxing outdoors. 

The camp also features a new screened-in fish cleaning house, wood fired sauna, new 15 hp. 4-stroke Yamaha outboard motors and 14-foot Lund boats. 

At Short Lake, we offer 5-to-7-day trips for groups of 6 to 10. Please contact us to book your trip today!
