Fantasy Fishing For Walleye

You could be catching up to 100 walleye a day at this remote resort in Vermillion Bay, Ontario!

Could you imagine fishing on a lake, all to yourself for a week, three days or even for a day and catching more than one hundred plus walleyes a day from sixteen to twenty-plus inches?

Only in your dreams, right?

Nope.

This is exactly what happens to guests who vacation with Clark’s Resort and Outpost Air Service located in Vermillion Bay in Northwest Ontario. The walleye fishing is just plain un-believably incredible at this resort's more than twenty-plus outpost locations.

We visited with these folks in mid-July and unfortunately for us due to scheduling and time restraints, did not have the opportunity to experience this fantasy walleye fishing firsthand, we only listened to the many guests that returned to the dock each day via float plane, telling stories of one-hundred to two-plus hundred walleyes caught, each day!

Yes, hundreds of walleyes, each day!

Our visit included fishing on the main lake, Cedar Lake with local guide John Jacobs who knows the northern lakes inside out as we fished for walleye on main lake reefs, humps and rock piles with small jigs and minnows. We caught a variety of walleye from fourteen to twenty-plus inches and had a blast, but I can guarantee you, the NEXT time we visit with the Clark’s we are going to the Fantasy Fishing for walleye at the outpost lakes.

When you book with the Clark’s Resort, you have many adventures to choose from. If you are looking to go to a drive-in resort, they have two separate locations for you to choose from! Or, for those more adventurous, Clark's has over twenty remote fly-in outpost lakes. You can be sure that you will have a vacation of a lifetime and you’ll be coming back year after year!

The fishing really is that good.

Wayne and Karla Clark have been in the drive-in resort business for almost twenty-five years. Clark’s Resorts and Outposts are superb facilities located in the heart of Northwestern Ontario. The cabins are modern amongst the beautiful landscapes and have seventeen-foot Lund outfitter boats to rent. If you stay on the Indian Lake Chain and rent one of their boats, you can spend a day or two in a boat on Cedar Lake as well (or vice versa). Visit either of their drive-in resorts and you will not be disappointed!
