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. A pair of mergansers regularly nest under the picnic table platform as well. 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. Several years ago, 2 couples visited Monroe Lake. One evening, the guys ventured out by themselves and left the ladies at the cabin to fish off the dock. The women caught more fish than the men! Using lighted bobbers, they were able to fish well after dark with great success! Easily accessible are 2 portage lakes teeming with fish for the adventurous angler.

We built the cabin at Monroe Lake in 1984 to replace an older cabin we had acquired there. (In fact - all that remains of the old cabin is the floor that we use today as a picnic table platform.) This cozy cabin will sleep 6 and has hot and cold running water. There is a walk-in pantry with ample shelving for storage and a shower area with a wash basin. Our fully equipped cabin has plenty of cupboards and counter space. Propane appliances include a stove, refrigerator, chest type freezer. A gas barbecue is conveniently located outside close to the picnic table. An outdoor privy is located a short walk nearby. The cabin is illuminated by solar powered electric lights

The Monroe Lake Outpost features the ever dependable Yamaha 6 Hp motors teamed with 14 foot Alumarine or Lund boats. Please note: You can be reassured that there is an emergency radio at this location and we make a weekly flight to check on your party.

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 ($250 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 2010 the year for experiencing a fly-in fishing trip.
