Thinking about heading up north to get into some easy fishing and dumb birds one of these autumns. Anyone with recommendations?
Need a place with decent ATV trails, lots of birds to get into and easy walleye/smallmouth fishing. No need for fanciness, but a clean place at a fair price which offers decent meals.
Thinking Temagami, but totally open. Do not want to drive more than 6 hours though.
Recommendations?? :thumbup:
Have you considered the Rock Pine Motel just south of Temagami? Great access to hundreds of miles of ATV trails and back lakes.

Thanks FF. Never heard of this one. Have you stayed there before? Can't tell if it's on the water? Do they rent boats?
May be a bit further than you want to drive but Red Pine Lodge on Lake Ivanhoe is a good spot.
wasi lodge on wasi lake in chisholm, decent walleye, and smallie fishing, and close to many miles of trails
I have stayed there several times, they're right on the highway south of Temagami. Not sure if they rent boats but they are on water, Martin River, some pretty good fishing all around them. Many lakes close by for walleye, pike and bass. The Rabbit Lake Road a short drive from the motel offers many miles of ATV trails and some great fishing.

Too far....but looks like a good spot.Quote:

FF, was not sure from the website if the Rock Pine Motel was on the water....but looks like it is. I was really thinking more of a cottage/cabin to stay in the but the pricing of the motel is definitely appealing ;)
Try Papa John's in Temagami. I have been staying there for last few seasons..
Anyone hear anything about Ravenscroft Lodge?
Went moose hunting in gowganda stayed at quicks. Birds are everywhere and lots of trails, I've never gone fishing there but I've heard it's pretty good.
Thanks HB...but they say no dogs. I have to bring my dog.Quote:

There seems to be 3 lodges I can find in Gowganda:
- Gowganda Lake Camp

- Gow-Bush-Kon Lodge
Also another but not on Gowganda lake called Northern Pine Camp.
Anyone care to compare???
Lake Herridge Lodge was awesome last year. I didn't have my licences then but the guys were up for moose and grabbed a several grouse and hares. I just fished on their lake. Walleye, bass, and perch. Right on Hwy 11 south of Temagami.
gowganda lake camp are cottages nice clean nothin special. family that owns the place is really nice. if you want to shoot birds that area is great you can limit out in half a day. we would only shoot ruffed after a couple days. not sure what the seasons are but get a wolf tag if youre interested in that kind of thing. we saw quite a few scouting but didnt get tags until the moose season started and they seemed to know to stay in the bush with all the hunters around.
How was the fishing on that lake?Quote:

Which breed of dog did you have in mind ?
Uuummm....a brown one would be nice....one of those German setter types.......you know, the ones with the long hair (not the ugly ones with beards) :silly:Quote:

Sorry for the late reply but it was great! Going back again next week, I'm nearly all backed up and can't sit still! I believe the owners are Dan and Cindy, really nice people. Very sociable and helpful with maps and tips for hunting and fishing on the 5 lakes that they access. You can rent their boats too. Google Herridge Lake Lodge for their website and recommendations. Good luck.Quote:

Good thing about Rock Pine is if your burnt out from a long day hunting you can walk over to the restaurant for a bite. Tried fishing from shore right at Rock Pine unsuccessfully, but there is good fishing if you hit the right lakes!
