Northern Ontario fly in fishing lodge

About Oak Lake Lodge - what makes us unique?

Have you ever heard the Japanese word "kaizen"? This word sums up everything about our lodge and our staff. I know most of you have heard the word kaizen before but for some of you who have not it simply means improvement. At Oak Lake Lodge we are continually improving our practices and processes.

We acquire brand new motors every season

An example of a practice we implemented to ensure a trouble-free fly in fishing vacation for our guests is the acquirement of new motors every season. How can a person enjoy his or her holiday fighting with an old motor that does not want to start? Plus, this is a safety issue too. I know that I would want a reliable motor when fishing on a remote lake so I know my guests would also want this.

Constant upkeep

Before getting into the lodge business, I used to run a construction business and these skills have served me well in running a remote lodge. At the start of every season, we have a team who arrives pre-season to fix and upkeep the lodge grounds. When our guests arrive for their special and looked-forward to fly in fishing vacation, we want everything in tip top shape.

Here are some improvements we have made in just the last few years.

• brand new eight man cabin
• new landing docks for the float planes and for the boats
• ten new guest boats (16' Lund Rebels)
• eight new guide boats (17' Lund Outfitters)
• new Yamaha boat motors every years
• every cabin received new beds in 2002
• new furniture in many cabins
• new wooden sidewalks which connect all the buildings and cabins
• Extra bathrooms in cabins
• Painted all the cabins

Cleanliness

You can relax in comfort and clean surroundings. We are hypervigilant about providing a clean environment for our guests.

Great Tasting Food

For breakfast and supper, we prepare the most scrumptious meals in our main lodge. At lunch, guests with guides have an outdoor fish-fry prepared for them with compementary dishes from the main kitchen delivered to the fish-fry location.

We are a truly remote, fly in fishing lodge but we still attend to safety details like our well-maintained wooden sidewalks joining all buildings to ensure your safety while making your way around the resort.

Fly in fishing invigorates you but after a glorious day of fishing, sharing the details of your catch with your fellow guests is relaxing. Watch the sunset, experience the quiet of Northernwestern Ontario.
