Fly in fishing trips to Monroe Lake Outpost--Walleye and Northern Pike fishing 30 miles north of Red Lake, Ontario, Canada with Loon Haunt Outposts

.

Thank you for your interest in the only cabin on Monroe Lake. The Monroe Lake outpost is what most people imagine a fly-in outpost to be. The cabin sits on a small island with a commanding view of the lake. Fishermen annually share this special place with a pair of loons who also call it home. The lake water here is a clear greenish color and produces plentiful walleye and exceptional northern every year. We’re told that the lazy fisherman can catch many, many fish right off the dock as the bottom drops off quite steeply. Easily accessible are 2 portage lakes teeming with fish for the adventurous angler.

The Monroe Lake cabin features both a refrigerator with a freezer above and a chest type deep freeze. The secret to having cold beer is to place the beer in the chest freezer to get it good and cold and then put it in the refrigerator. The freezer above the refrigerator provides plenty of room for frozen foods. We keep a good supply of ice in the chest freezer to act as a heat sink so the freezer doesn't get behind trying to cool the beer. Take the beer to the ice. Don't take the ice to the beer and you will have plenty of ice cold beer.

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

Please 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 a cashiers cheque 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.
