Ontario's Loonhaunt Lake delivers memorable fishing adventure for first-time visitors

Booked the trip through Northwest Flying Inc., a floatplane service in Nestor Falls, Ontario, about a 4.5-hour drive from Grand Forks. Northwest Flying has outpost camps on five lakes, all within a short flight of Nestor Falls, but Loonhaunt Lake is their most popular. Solar electricity powers the outpost cabin on Loonhaunt Lake. Lake trout fishing was a priority in booking the trip. Despite challenging walleye fishing, the bass – both smallmouth and largemouth – and lake trout action made up for it. Using Buzz Bomb jigging lures, good numbers of hard-fighting lake trout were caught in 60 to 70 feet of water within a short boat ride of the cabin. The bass, it seemed, were everywhere, and the largemouth action encountered at times ranks among the best experienced. The lake trout fishing was a hit – most of the lakers were in the 5- to 8-pound range and the ones kept were fantastic on the grill.
