Rainy Lake Fishing at Camp Narrows Lodge
The best fishing is still done within minutes of the lodge, however, as north arm of the lake has some of the best fishing in North America. Either guided or unguided, we will make sure your Northwest Ontario fishing vacation will be one to remember.
Fishing on Rainy Lake Ontario for Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Crappie, and Northern Pike
Camp Narrows Lodge is located 25 miles north of the Minnesota/Ontario border. We are located in North West Bay on the North Arm of Rainy Lake, and just 20 miles west of Red Gut Bay. Camp Narrows is a boat-in resort and Fort Frances and International Falls are the nearest towns. We have 7 cottages that are 2 or 3 bedroom deluxe modern cabins with all the facilities you need.
Walleye, northern pike, crappie, whitefish, and smallmouth bass fishing can all be enjoyed just minutes from the dock. Our location has the remoteness of a fly-in, but is an hour’s drive from the United States border. If you would like to fish on your own we can mark all the hot-spots on our Rainy Lake navigational maps. Otherwise our Rainy Lake guides can almost always guarantee amazing fishing.
Northwest Ontario’s Rainy Lake is well-known for it’s great smallmouth bass fishing as well as northern pike, crappie, and walleye. Located only 25 miles from the border with Minnesota, our camp, combined with Rainy Lakes’ clean clear waters, have become the avid fisherman’s dream location.
Let Your Next Fishing Adventure Begin
Rainy Lake is famous for its fishing and scenic beauty. As Northwest Ontario’s top drive-to fishing destination, its world-class fishing offers trophy walleyes, northern pike, smallmouth bass, crappies, and more.
The Cool, Clear Waters of Rainy Lake Offer You an Unparalleled Angling Experience
Smallmouth Bass fishermen love our neck of the woods. We have a world-class fishery for bronze backs in our lakes so be prepared for some fast-action angling.
Not to be ignored are the Northern Pike cruising the reefs and weed lines. These guys are fighting machines. Come and do battle with one of these wily warriors. The sense of triumph in landing a monster pike needs to be experienced to be understood. Many fishing fanatics rekindled the fever while landing themselves a trophy pike. Every year many 30 to 45 inchers are caught.
September and October are our crappie months. Late fall jigging in clouds of crappie will ensure a tasty meal. Many slab 2 lb. plus crappie are caught this time of year.
For incredible bronze back action try a fall trip. It may be cool but the fishing is hot! As the water cools down the smallmouth move up onto the reefs and stack up one on top of another. The fish all go on the feed. Rainy Lake’s north arm is full of smelts. This baitfish puts shoulders on these bass. It is truly hard to say which is better: the size of the fish or the shear numbers caught at this time of year.
At Camp Narrows Lodge, to ensure that we sustain our world-class fishery, we have a catch-and-release policy for our smallmouth bass. Rainy Lake also has slot-sizes to protect our trophy pike and walleye. For meals or shore lunches we encourage our fishermen to eat small walleye, pike, or crappies. The larger fish, which are usually female, must be thrown back. With these policies Rainy Lake will not only sustain its world-class fishery but it will get even better for future fishermen like yourself.
