-- a Canadian fly-in fishing trip to Loon Haunt's remote outpost cabins for Walleye and Northern Pike is the trip of a lifetime. Red Lake is a popular fly out center at the end of the highway, 200 miles north of International Falls, Minnesota. We operate five fly-in outpost camps north of Red Lake Ontario, Canada, and offer the very finest in Walleye and Northern Pike fishing. We fly from Red Lake to our outposts located from as little as 30 miles north to as much as 70 miles north. The following pages give details on each location as well as pictures of our remote outpost cabins. This site takes a while to load but we believe you will find it worth the wait. We have added links to more information on each location as well as our annual newsletter.

Goose Lake |
Our Goose Lake camp is 65 miles northeast of Red Lake, Ontario. The only camp on this lake, we have outstanding Walleye and Northern fishing and offer a portage out trip to neighboring Nechigona Lake for our more adventurous guests. Goose Lake is about 7 square miles and offers a real diversity of fishing opportunities: plenty of structure, steep drop-offs, weedy bays, sunken reefs, and gravel beds. We,
Bill, Louise and Ryan are the resident
caretakers and will look after all your needs.
Our practice of accepting a maximum of 24
guests at one time assures you of privacy and
personalized service. |

Monroe Lake |
This
two room outpost is the only cabin on Monroe
Lake and is located on a small island that has
an outstanding view of the lake. The island is
also home to a pair of loons who nest on it
every year as do a pair of mergansers.
Constructed of horizontal tongue and groove
2x6 pine boards, this cozy cabin will sleep
six. There is a walk in pantry with ample
shelving for storage and a shower area with
wash basin. Boats are 14 foot Alumarines with
dependable 6 hp Yamaha outboards (plus one
spare motor). The boats are stored on the boat
ramp for ease of launching. Monroe Lake boasts
two portage-out lakes, one to the west (West
Lake) and one to the south (U Lake). Both
portage lakes have boats and motors ready and
waiting for you. |

Poirier Lake |
Bill
built the cabin on Poirier Lake using frame
construction and pine siding to accommodate
parties of two only. It is the only cabin on
this Walleye and Northern lake. The three room
cabin has a separate bedroom with two single
beds that can be rolled together for couples.
A large kitchen/dining area and a bathroom
with sink and shower complete the cabin. A
spacious attached deck holds the propane
barbecue. Poirier Lake also features a boat
ramp, a floating dock, and a 14 foot Alumarine
boat with a 6 hp Yamaha motor.

|
Unnamed Lake |
This
spacious one room cabin will accommodate eight
in comfort. It was built by Bill using
horizontal tongue and groove 2x6 construction.
Our cabin is the only one on Unnamed Lake so
you will have complete privacy. The lake is
well sheltered, being almost like a chain of
small lakes about 10 miles long with numerous
bays and narrows where Walleye and Northern
are found. There is a portage out lake for
more Walleye and Northern action. The 14 foot
Lund and Alumarine boats are teamed with 9.9
hp Johnson motors
(one for each boat plus a spare).
Two large boat ramps facilitate easy
launching.
|
|
Whitelaw Lake |
This
roomy cabin is a machined log construction
with two bedrooms that will accommodate six
people. Whitelaw runs a little deeper than our
other Walleye/Northern lakes. The dark stained
water makes for an incredible Walleye
population and great fishing at any time of
day. A favourite fishing spot is directly in
front of the cabin at the base of a burbling
rapids. Boats are 14 foot Alumarines with 6 hp
Yamaha outboards and a spare. There are no
other camps on the lake. The water at Whitelaw
fluctuates a great deal but this causes no
problem as we have our boat launch ramp and a
floating dock.

Who We Are |
We are
owners, Bill and Louise Coppen, of Loon Haunt
Outposts and have been entertaining guests with
warm northern hospitality for more than 40
years. In 2017 we decided to introduce some new
blood and welcomed Ryan Scott onboard.
Ryan has thousands of hours flying in the bush
and possesses all the skills necessary to get
the job done. Our plan is to gradually do less
and less while Ryan does more and more. In
2019 Ryan married Eliza and we added a fourth to
our team. We take
an active interest in our guests and feel
fortunate over the years to be able to earn a
living surrounded by people we enjoy. We bring to
our work a wealth of experience and genuine love
for what we do. No problem is too big or too small
for Bill and Ryan to handle. Both accomplished
bush pilots with thousands of hours, they make
flying our bush plane look easy as they handle the
many flights of the season. Louise is more at home
on the ground and will cheerfully help with
locating fish, day to day camp chores, and even
with a fish filleting lesson! Nothing is more
important than the chance to visit with our guests
and share a story or solve the world's
problems. Ryan always knows where the
Walleyes can be located. |

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. |

to hear a loon call |
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 cashier's
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. |
