 Loon Haunt Outposts' Goose Lake Camp 

 Fly-out Walleye and Northern Pike fishing 65 miles north-east of Red Lake, Ontario, Canada

Loon Haunt Outposts' Goose Lake camp is located on  the Berens River, a 65 mile fly-in from Red Lake, Ontario.  We fish Walleye and Northern Pike on Goose Lake and Nechigona Lake.  Our camp is small (4 cabins), and we hold a maximum of 24 people.  There are no other camps on Goose Lake or Nechigona Lake. Camp life is very relaxed and unstructured, we encourage guests to set their own pace.  To locate us on a map, look north-east of Red Lake past Trout Lake to the Berens River and a group of 4 lakes - Upper Goose Lake, Mamakwash Lake and the 2 smaller lakes (often unlabeled on maps), are Goose Lake and Nechigona Lake.

We built the camp from scratch starting in 1978.  As you will see by our conservation policy, we are very protective of our fantastic fishing resource.  Our aim is for everyone to catch hundreds of fish and a big one.  We realized many years ago that the only way we could reach our goal was to protect our breeding stock and minimize the pressure on the resource.  We believe our policy of not killing any large fish, only consuming small fish for fish dinners and offering only a NO take home fish package,  maximizes your chances to catch and photograph a big one and at the same time catch and release hundreds of fish during your stay.

Everyone loves the modified Loon Haunt boats at Goose Lake.  They feature 9.9 hp Honda 4 stroke motors with electric start, 12 volt outlets for fish locators, comfortable swivel seats and our new walk through seats.  Once you have tried them you will want to know why all boats aren't this way.


The new look at Goose Lake.  Like most fly in camps our main entrance and our service entrance are the same.  In an effort to improve first impressions we built "the wall" to hide our service items.  (Propane tanks, fuel drums)  To make it easier for guests to reach the boats we built a deck in front of the service building.

The new sign added to the wall is the preferred location for group photos.

Comfortable cabins for fly in fishing


Dining room for 16 people

At Goose Lake everyone starts their trip with a nice clean pressure washed 16 foot Lund boat complete with comfortable swivel seats and unlimited gasoline.

The answer to the question "GOT ICE?"  is yes, we have an ice machine churning out ice cubes to supply the camp and the outposts.   Our ice is made with our crystal clear spring water that is double treated and safe to drink.

Our Conservation Policy

 
 

Our pristine lakes have very limited fishing pressure and it is our wish to preserve the fantastic quality of this precious resource. To this end we have adopted the following fishing restrictions: no one is to harm in any way a Walleye over 18 inches or a Northern over 27 inches. These fish represent our breeding stock and must immediately be returned to the water after catching. Grab ONE quick photo, but do not put the fish on a stringer or delay its return to the water. We encourage fishing barbless as it reduces the mortality rate when catching and releasing fish. It's possible to catch and release hundreds of fish per day.

We invite you to eat your fill of smaller fish but allow no take home fish at all.

How to make reservations
Contact us for available dates. Tentative arrangements can be made by phone but all firm reservations require a deposit ( $300 US per person), at the time of reservation. Deposits are transferable with 60 days notice, but not refundable. Personal cheques are accepted for deposits only. The balance must be paid in full with traveler's cheques or cash before leaving camp. Our location is such that we do not have a large volume of traffic past our facilities. We must depend on advance reservations. Once we reserve a cabin, we remove it from the market refusing all other requests. A booking must be accompanied by a deposit within 2 weeks- if not, the cabin is opened up to other fishermen. Our policy is intended to be fair to our guests, yet prevent the loss of income to our business.

Make 2023 the year for experiencing a fly-in fishing trip.
Plan now to join us.
Stop wishin' and come fishin'!
