One of the Guys Dear Guys: You are right, I haven't, but I've found several destinations that might work for you. The first is Red Pine Wilderness Lodge in Hailbury, Ontario. If you are looking for a reasonably priced fishing adventure in Northern Ontario, with all the comforts of a drive-to lodge, but the exceptional fishing that you expect at a fly-in camp, Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is the destination for you. Guests are taken to the private island by boat where they will find most everything they need for the trip. Friendly hosts, awesome food, excellent service at dockside and tableside, and the opportunity to catch walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, perch and brooktrout add up to a fantastic fishing adventure. For information, visit www.redpinelodge.com. The next is Slippery Winds Lodge at Straw Lake, Ontario. Slippery Winds Wilderness Resort is a jewel hidden in northwestern Ontario, only 40 miles from the Canada/U.S. border. Located between Yoke and Straw Lake, this American-Plan lodge offers its guests the opportunity to angle for smallmouth and largemouth bass, lake trout, muskie, northern pike and walleye on six lakes accessible via boat or short portage. Slippery Winds has practiced catch-andrelease for the past eight years and the benefits can be readily observed on the smiling faces of its guests as they recount their day's fishing experiences back at the lodge.
