I just got back from a week long trip at Happy Day Lodge in Ontario. In addition to their main lodge, they have an outpost cabin situated on the northwest corner of Lake Windermere that five of us stayed at. Its a very nice cabin with propane cooking, propane fridge, solar lights, pump water, and even a shower. It was unbelievably secluded! During the entire week we only saw one other boat, and that was way off in the distance.
The main lake had solid fishing, but we also had access to two bush lakes. We accessed the bush lakes by carrying small motors through the woods and putting them on boats that were already there. It was a pretty rough hike into one of the lakes, but the fishing was fantastic and the scenery and solitude were second to none.
We fished for five and a half days and caught a bunch of pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass. Nobody caught any absolute trophies, but the fish were healthy and aggressive.
We honestly felt like we were the only people in the world for a week. Being completely off the grid is nice. Lots of people go to Canada and stay at lodges .... which is fine .... but staying at an outpost is a whole different ballgame.
