Williams Lake Lodge Conservation Policy:

As sportsmen and conservationists, we are interested in preserving our wildlife and fishing for our children and our children's children. We ask that you enjoy your stay with us for what it really is - a peaceful retreat from the busy routine. Catch tons of fish, but release all but what you really need to eat.

We fully support the MNR's size regulatons and are taking them a step further., We ask that all walleyes over 18" and all northerns over 27.5" be released. C.P.R (Catch, Photo, and Release) is the key to maintaining our fabulous fishery. Keep some small ones to eat (they are the best tasting) and let the rest continue to grow. If you want one for the wall, a replica will last longer and you have the satisfaction of knowing that your trophy still swims.

To further encourage the release of  trophy fish, Williams Lake Lodge will award a free housekeeping trip to the anglers who release the largest walleye and the largest northern pike of  the season. We need pictures and the length of the fish. Do not weigh the fish.

Free Trip Winners:  

Thanks to all of our conservation minded anglers that caught and released trophy fish last year. As I write this, these large fish are swimming free, just itching to spawn in the spring and pass their "big fish" genes on to a new generation. Also, some of them will undoubtedly be caught, enjoyed, and hopefully released in the years to come. 

In 2008, I lost track of the number of 40" plus northerns that were caught and released.  Both Williams Lake and Lac Seul were consistent producers of these big girls. The largest northern released this season was caught by Ryan McGee and measured 43".  It is being held for this photo by Ryan's friend, Bill Cleveland. Ryan wins a free housedkeeping trip. Sorry, Bill. You have to actually catch the fish, not just hold it.

McGee - Northern Pike

Many walleyes at 29" were caught and released from both Lac Seul and Williams Lake, but this 29.5" fish caught by Greg Haider wins him a free housekeeping trip. Nice job, Greg.

Haider - Walleye

Kathy and I look forward to having you both back at camp.

Please Note:

I have updated the web site to include pages for Fishing Reports, Boats & Motors, Photos, and Other Information that you will want to know before you come to camp. Look over this site and let me know if you have any questions that I haven't answered.

Thanks.

Lac Seul / Williams Lake Lodge

Whether you're an angler, a gamer, or an adventurer, we have something for you to enjoy.

Our fishing is among the best. Walleye, and Northern Pike are in abundance here. You can also find smallmouth bass, and muskie in these lakes. And thanks to our new summertime fishing techniques, some of our biggest catches are in July and August!  But don’t take our word for it. Check out these web sites to learn just how incredible this fishery is.

Bear hunting has become a favorite pastime here. Guide-assisted archery hunts will help you through the rugged back country of Northwestern Ontario, in search of game.

The peaceful surroundings of Williams Lake Lodge are a dream for any nature lover, with numerous photographic opportunities. Moose, bear, wolf,  lynx, blue herons, many species of ducks and other water fowl, beaver, muskrat, otter and families of bald eagles are regularly seen.
