On Wabatongushi Lake there is a longstanding tradition of running cedar strip boats. Some of our guests have even purchased their own cedar strip boat to use on home waters after experiencing the stability, comfort, and unique style of a Giesler. If you’ve ever wondered where our boats come from and how they’re made by hand, we have it all here!

The thick ice (40+ inches) we got this year at the lake is going out finally, and glad to announce that our May 18th opening day is not affected. We’ve been up here for a few weeks getting the cedar boats sanded and varnished, and preparing things at Camp Lochalsh. And with the ice now going out, we’ll get up the lake and have both Loch Island and the outpost cabins ready for all of you coming up for our opening week. Looking forward to seeing you all soon for the start of our 2019 season!
– More photos soon of our activities and prep, but wanted to let you know the good news for now…
The lake and fish await!

We have been having a great couple months now and the fish are biting. Wanted to share a few guest fish pictures and let you know some of the news around here. In early June we were honored to host the guys from The New Fly Fisher TV program. Expect the full episode soon, but down below we have a short preview of their adventure. Also the Outdoor Life article is now available to read online [Click Here or Image Below].
News around the island includes a new Georgian Bay cedar boat from Giesler and Sons, that we are using for guest pickups.
First up, Mark Melnyk from The New Fly Fisher (with our guide Ryan) catching some Brook Trout and more, on our outpost lakes and Wabatongushi. You can check out the show’s website here and we will also let you know when the full episode is being broadcast and available online. Towards the end is a highlight of Taylor cooking up fresh fish at our unique shore lunch offering. You can reach us by train, float plane or drive “as far as you can” for your wilderness vacation.
There have been bigger ones caught (and released) so far this year, but here are some photos that you all have shared with us this season… ( you can email us photos at: info@lochisland.com ) This first one of Maryann Schutte is blurry as it’s a photo of the back display on a camera…
We look forward to seeing those of you who will be visiting us yet this summer. Still have some openings available, and we are already booking for next year as well, so contact us if you have any questions!
