Four Bay Lake
This lake is one of our main fishing lakes which has all three species of fish that are native to this area which are: walleye, northern pike, and lake trout. Four Bay is a deep lake that has an average depth of 35 feet with maximum depths of 120 feet, and as it is a bulge of the Sturgeon River system, it is a natural flowage enabling it to have a constant cooling affect, even in the hot periods of summer. The fish tend to bite better even in the mid summer and the meat is much firmer than the shallow lakes to the north. Also, Four Bay Lake has two unique factors, the very north bay is a fish sanctuary and is closed until June 14, this provides additional protection for the females walleyes to have ample time to spawn. The bottom structure consists of sand, gravel and several rock reefs, which provide feeding areas and protection for all types of marine life which is very beneficial to the fishery.
White Falls
The very first portage that will require navigating to continue into the Sturgeon River is the very first falls below Four Bay Lake, called White Falls. This is a fairly short portage which is only a 0.25 mile. On the west side of the White Falls, we have one floating dock and four boats equipped with outboard motors. White Falls itself is a fine generator of oxygen providing feed and the fish are right at the base of the rapids.
Sturgeon River/Dizzy Lake
The Sturgeon River has a series of rapids, White Falls is one of them, that provide a natural flowage supplying plenty of oxygen and a rich feed structure that is conducive to producing plentiful stocks of walleye and trophy pike. This river system has great spawning areas consisting of gravel and sand beds mixed in with boulders which are a perfect habitat for breeding females. Also, this waterway has many features to it, it is one of the most scenic lakes in Northwestern Ontario with many bays and fantastic rock formations that make for great natural photo opportunities, in addition it has tremendous bottom rock formations to harbor schools of fish. The center of Dizzy Lake which is the main portion of this water body has a strong natural flowage producing under water currents which are very beneficial to fish habitat. The quiet bays of Dizzy Lake offer tremendous opportunities to catch trophy northern pike. Upon catching your shore lunch, you may want to check out our shore lunch cookout location at Bicycle Island.
Second Falls
For the more adventurous angler, the waterways below the second falls provide an excellent angling opportunity for trophy northern and walleye. The second falls portage is fairly level, although the distance is a little longer than the White Falls portage at approximately 0.5 miles. Also, we provide a boat and motor at this site.
Davies Lake
From the north arm of Dizzy Lake, there is a portage trail which is a third of a mile through flat terrain to reach Davies Lake. Davies Lake is a favorite of all our current guests because it is a piece of paradise offering seclusion, and tranquility along with fine fishing for both trophy northern and walleye. This lake has an average depth of approximately 25 feet, with a structure of rock boulders and in the northern areas of the lake there are some large expanses of sand and gravel on the bottom. In addition, Davies Lake has excellent shore lunch facilities located on an island in the central part of the lake for your enjoyment. This lake also has boats and motors.
F - Lake
This small lake is connected by portage trail from Davies lake. For the most adventurous guests, this lake offers tremendous fishing for walleyes and northerns. Also, there are boats and motors at this location.
One foot note for your consideration
The natural setting of the above lakes and river system, along with conservation measures of protecting and encouraging the growth of the Sturgeon River fishery system, have proven wonders with number of walleyes, northern pike and even lake trout increasing with each passing year. Whether you come for the fun of it or the big trophies the quantity and quality of fish will be here now and they will remain in the future.
