Eagle Lake in Northwestern Ontario is legendary for its massive musky. Anglers travel from all over Canada and the United States to find the giants lurking in its depths.


In the central section of Eagle Lake, 10 minutes from mainland, sits Eagle Lake Island Lodge. Located on an 8-acre private island, this lodge offers guests a unique level of hospitality and fishing adventure.


Eagle Lake Island Lodge is an all-inclusive “American Plan” resort meaning all you need to bring with you is your personal items and fishing tackle. Everything else, from meals to boats are provided as part of your stay.


Guests have breakfast and dinner served in the lodge’s main dining room daily and lunches are either packed to go for you or you can get everything you need for a classic shore lunch.

Eagle Lake has historically been a big musky angler mecca. Every year lucky fishermen put exceptional fish in their boats, and while the fishing is great all season long, fall is the time of year where the biggest fish are typically caught. As the water cools and the days get shorter, giant Muskellunge roam the lake, especially during the ciscoe spawn to store up for the coming winter.

Camp McIntosh

French River

Camp McIntosh has been an admired Ontario fishing destination since it’s opening in 1946.  Located at the French River and Georgian Bay delta, Camp McIntosh gives it’s guests access to some of the most sought-after fishing locations in Ontario.


Camp McIntosh is an off-grid boat in camp which consists of 6 comfortable cabins and a main lodge with a sitting area and dining room. With a trip to Camp McIntosh anglers get to experience a fishing plan that includes all your meals made fresh daily including shore lunch kits or bagged lunches, your boat rental during your stay with gas, ice and worms, as well as your accommodations.


Guests have the opportunity to fish both the French River as well as Georgian Bay which means you can fish all day, everyday during your stay and never fish the same water twice. This area is legendary for giant fish, especially muskellunge!


The chance to catch a musky in the 50”+ category is good all year long at Camp McIntosh but the best time to realize the dream of landing a trophy fish is during the fall months. The change in temperature and the cooling waters trigger big muskies to start loading up on prey to build their reserves for the long winter ahead. 


Trolling the rocky shorelines and deep shoals or casting baits into weedy bays are the best methods for catching one of these apex predators and being at the basin of the French River with access to Georgian Bay means there is no better place to land the fish of your dreams than at Camp McIntosh.


From the fresh home cooked meals to  the comfortable cabins and the epic fishing, a trip to Camp McIntosh should be on the bucket list for any musky angler looking for their next personal best.

Call today to book a fall spot or start planning your 2026 trip. This fishing camp fills fast and with good reason!

Lauzon East

Lake Lauzon

In Wettlaufer Bay on the eastern shore of Lake Lauzon sits Lauzon East, a drive-to, housekeeping cottage resort that is rapidly becoming the preferred destination for musky anglers from all over  Ontario.


Lauzon East offers guests 4 fully equipped housekeeping cottages complete with everything you need for a comfortable stay while you hunt for your next personal best. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, a full three-piece washroom, a deck, BBQ and personal firepit with plenty of room to relax and unwind after a long day on the water chasing cabbage dragons. They have UV treated drinking water, plenty of docking space for your boat and can provide linens and towels if needed. The property boasts over 900 feet of waterfront and 43 total acres so guests can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere after an action-packed day on the lake.


Lake Lauzon is over 5000 acres of incredible fishing. Anglers can troll over 100km of shoreline, cast into deep weed lines and search drop offs and rocky points for hungry musky. This lake is such a musky factory and Lauzon East is such a welcoming resort, that they have hosted the KW chapter of Muskies Canada for their annual muskie trip 3 times.


Fall is the best time of year for eager musky hunters to catch their personal best. Lake Lauzon’s musky population spends the autumn putting on the feedbag for the long winter ahead. That means your best chance to catch a monster on the 50” category starts when the leaves start to change color and there is a cold breeze in the air as late summer quickly turns to fall.


If the cooler temps of fall are not your thing, don’t worry, there is plenty of musky action to be had all summer long. Lauzon East is already taking bookings for the 2026 season and they will fill up fast so don’t delay. Call owners Jeremy and Rachel today and book a trip you’ll never forget.

Fish: Burbot, Lake Trout, Whitefish, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Rainbow Smelt, Smallmouth Bass, Yellow Perch
