What is unique about the Oak Lake Lodge fishing trip?

Living in the 21st century, our lives can move pretty fast and can become exceedingly hectic. 

Occasionally, it is necessary to take a break from it all and spend some time relaxing in the great outdoors. 

One of the best ways to enjoy all that nature has to offer is on a fishing trip. Fishing vacations can be quite relaxing as they allow one to get away from it all and find peace in the quiet and serenity of nature.

If this image of tranquility is your idea of a perfect getaway, then you should consider a fly in fishing trip in Ontario, Canada. 

Fly-in fishing trips in Canada offer all the best aspects of a lakeside fishing trip, with the added amenities that only a secluded fishing lodge on a private lake can provide. 

Once you fly in, you will be disconnected from the outside world for the remainder of your trip, and will be left to enjoy time fishing, as well as enjoying recreational time with your family and/or friends. 

Here are just a few of the many reasons why you should consider the unique experience a fly-in fishing trip can provide.

All-Inclusive

From the minute you board our plane in Vermilion Bay, till the minute you once more board our plane to leave, we work hard to ensure that all of your needs are taken care of. 


Hearty meals will be provided to you throughout your stay which includes full breakfasts, shore lunches of fresh walleye, and a variety of tasty dinners brought straight to your table restaurant style.

 

Furthermore, just like any modern hotel, we do everything we can to make your stay enjoyable including making sure your cabin is tidy and clean. 


We even take the extra mile to ensure your comfort by bringing you coffee in the morning, and when it is cold enough, lighting a fire for you in your cabin's wood stove.


In addition, we offer an optional fishing guide. Have you never fished with a guide? Learn what it's like with our Guide to Fishing Guides.

Our fly in fishing trips are truly a unique experience for any fishing enthusiast. Our location boasts state of the art fishing equipment including new fishing boats whose motors are replaced on a yearly basis. 

We even have fishing guides who you can hire to help you with your fishing aspirations.

We also have a variety of fish in our private late including Pike, Bass, and Walleye, which almost ensures that you will make a great number of catches during your time with us.

A Serene Experience

When many people imagine an all-inclusive vacation, they picture a big resorts with hundreds, if not thousands of people, and loud, drunken partiers. If this is not your idea of a relaxing vacation, then Oak Lake Lodge could be the perfect vacation option for you! 

As previously mentioned, our fly in fishing trips offer a uniquely peaceful vacation; however, it is important not to underestimate the serenity of our location. Our lodge is the only lodge on this private lake, which is only reachable by plane. 

We are able to provide a unique, intimate experience in which it will be easy for you to find the peace and relaxation you are looking for. If the above peace and serenity a fly in fishing trip can provide sounds like the ideal vacation for you, we would highly recommend looking into one of our trips.

Perhaps you've recently heard from friends about fly-in fishing excursions and how peaceful they are as a major vacation getaway. The only thing that maybe kept you from doing the same as your friends is lack of experience fishing on your own. Still, you're possibly in dire need of a peaceful hideaway vacation. It's possible you've been on fishing expeditions before as a guest and know how relaxing and peaceful these vacations are in comparison to anything else. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we have the perfect escape for you when you want a peaceful vacation without hassles. What makes us unique is that if you don't know how to fish, or just need some guidance on what kind of fish to catch, superior fishing guides are available. While our fishing guides charge separately from the rest of the excursion, they're an investment well-spent for a variety of reasons. Much of it has to do with our guides becoming like a family friend to you rather than someone hired to go through the motions with tourists.

You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.

If you've ever had experience with guides during vacations, you've probably wondered just how much they really know about the information they give you. When you visit historical locations where you need guidance to get around, guides can either be a burden or a godsend.

When you vacation, finding access to food is always an issue, especially when you're traveling with a big family. Having many people along on your trip also means dealing with some picky eaters. When you ultimately can't find the food you want while traveling, it only makes your vacation more of a frustration than a relaxing experience. This is all the more reason why you should try our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge. Meals are never a problem at our lodge because we prepare in advance to make your experience the best it can possibly be. You'll also appreciate our attention to something other vacation spots don't always do: Making sure you never go hungry while still making the food healthy. If the word "healthy" sounds like it shouldn't go on vacation, having a hearty meal already means eating well. You have to keep your energy level up to fully enjoy the pristine nature around you here at Oak Lake Lodge. While providing relaxation for you is our goal, you'll have the privacy of Oak Lake where all-day fishing excursions are available at your leisure. The same goes for archery hunting out in the wilderness that's untouched by excessive amounts of tourists or industries. Despite you vacationing in one of the most undisturbed natural locations on earth, being out in the great outdoors always works up an appetite. It's why we place special emphasis on creating meals we know you're going to love. This includes some of the amazing and large fish you'll catch in Oak Lake that you can enjoy as part of a shore lunch. Take a look at what kind of meals you'll experience for every meal of the day, including the ability to snack when you want to.

When you hear the term "fly-in fishing", no doubt you immediately picture thoughts of a hideaway vacation. While accurate, you've perhaps created a new definition of what a hideaway vacation is. You've possibly become overly cynical about the term because so many hideaway vacations your family visited in the past didn't live up to expectations. This was even more disappointing considering you paid a significant amount to commune with pristine nature and a promise of few tourists. In reality, there aren't any truly pristine tourist areas left in the world other than deserted islands and uninhabited jungles. Only a few places still exist on earth where you'll get some exceptions. We're fortunate to tell you that we provide exceptions here at Oak Lake Lodge thanks to long-standing stringent plans on limiting tourists. Here in Ontario, Canada, we still have some pristine natural environments left not invaded by excess tourism or industry. The land around our lodge received government approval to stay as pristine as you can get while still allowing limited visitors at a time. We only allow 32 people in every few weeks, so you're never experiencing excess tourists. You'll also find many other differences compared to other so-called hideaway vacations. Maybe you know about other secret locations where you can essentially get lost, at least in the off-season. Even if you can sometimes successfully escape crowds in those places, they don't offer the amenities we do. Let's take a look at some of those differences and why we frequently get singled out as one of the best vacation spots within Canada and the United States. We'll help you redefine what a hideaway vacation really is.

There isn't any question that food is a top concern when traveling on vacation. You've probably had more headaches over what to eat than anything else when visiting hideaway resorts, hotels, or even bed & breakfasts. What makes this all the more problematic is the kind of food you'll find in the places where you stay. If you're staying overseas, it sometimes means consuming exotic items you've never had before, which only brings elements of risk. While the above is exciting for some people, it can bring some dangers to your health. The last thing you want is food that could potentially make you sick in a foreign location where medical facilities aren't the greatest. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we decided that food needed a strong focus on our vacation packages. We knew that when people travel to a vacation destination, they wanted food that's substantive, yet also not overly offbeat to a point where it could cause illness. Also, based on the response of our customers, we understood that most people enjoy having traditional food. Yes, traditional food gives you a sense of home, despite being served here in a remote location where pristine nature surrounds you. Let us show you the kind of traditional food you'll find for your fly-in fishing vacation. We'll show you why it's safer and even healthier than many other foods found in other tourist destinations.

When you decide to experience our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you'll immediately notice the sense of peace and quiet you'll have in comparison to other vacations. We'll remind you that when you arrive here, you're a long way from any industry. This means miles and miles of natural surroundings and not the loud bustle of traffic. With our limitations of 32 people per visit, you also eliminate concern about excessive tourists. You won't find many vacation spots on earth that don't have an excess of tourists clogging streets, or even on lakes. This sense of peace might sound like we're too far away from providing outstanding amenities. Keep in mind we fly in and provide more amenities and supplies than most lodges do that exist away from civilization.

Experiencing autumn during your fly in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge is like no other nature experience available in the civilized world. Even if you already live near natural areas and love doing activities in the outdoors during the fall or winter, you probably have to experience an excessive amount of people in those places. Plus if it's a vacation spot, you probably work up a considerable appetite after excessive physical exercise. The problem with the two situations above is that being in nature with too many people already ruins any claims of the surroundings being unspoiled. At a vacation resort, it also means crowded restaurants, leaving you having to wait for food when you want food immediately. You won't find either of the above unfortunate scenarios here at Oak Lake Lodge. The nature here is truly pristine because there isn't any industry around for miles. We also have limitations on how many people we let in at a time, so getting food when you want it isn't a problem. Moreover, you'll have more food here than you can probably digest. Our meals are extremely hearty and generous in their servings. The question is how much of an appetite can you generate while visiting us? When you have cooler weather, invigorating fishing, and hunting all together, you can probably get as hungry as the black bears and moose are when they forage for food this fall.
