I remember my first time in the bar there....Kinda scary when the first thing you see when you enter is a sign about no knives etc

He saved my butt though I must admitt....Blew the oilpan seal on my truck....had to drive all the way to the Soo....Long story short....some airplane oil and other crap he had and I was good to go....made it all the way home with no problems....Towing a boat too!!!!

Might be a bit further than you want to go but Red Cedar Lake Camp in Marten River would be a good bet.
Spent time up there a few years ago and they have all the things kids like and some fish too.
Nice cottages, good beach area etc etc and the operators Dave and Betty are great people. They are usually at the Carp show so maybe you should check it out.

you might be able to get better fishing in quebec, that is only 4hrs away.

Thank you for the reply's
I kinda like the red cedar Lake, I guess it would be about 7.5 hours from here !?

Depending on what you are hauling in way of boat,trailer etc I would say that 7.5 would be a good estimate. All paved road though.
If you google red cedar lake camp they have a good site.

Try the Martin River Lodge-www.duenorth.net/martenriverlodge/

Just north of North Bay. Nice area.
Good luck

That seems like a nice spot as well !
Probably about 4-5 hours from Ottawa I guess ?

Yes, that's about all. There is also the Diamond Lakes just north of Mattawa. It's not on the maps but if you ask the Ministry about it they can help you out.

I assume that the pike fishing is pretty good up near North Bay and area !
I think I will try one of the lodges this spring !

Hi Cast-A-Way,

I'd like to recommend to you our lodge. We are a more southern Ontario experience, being just north of Kingston and we are less then 2 hours from Ottawa. Lots of Pike though, and there is a Marina and Tackle shop as part of the lodge buildings to service your boat.

Our site is www.holidaymanor.net

Hi Cast-A-Way,

Pike season opens May 12th.

The best Pike fishing is in May and the first two weeks of June. The earlier you can come the better for Pike. And that is not to say that you wouldn't catch pike all season long, but like everything else they go deeper as the water warms up.

Clause.

I go to Chippawa Camp Grounds 3 or 4 times a year. You can camp or rent a cottage. The fishing is good and they have a nice sand beach about 1000 m long. Its in Cummbermere Ont. which is only a 2 hour drive.
