Location

Based out of Nestor Falls Ontario, only a short 1 hour drive across the Canada / US border. Northwest Flying has been servicing Northern Ontario since the early 60’s. Our aircraft are flown by some of the most experienced bush pilots in the country all striving to ensure your trip is safe as well as memorable!

Remote Outposts

For those looking for a truly remote fishing experience, we offer several 1st class ouposts. All cabins are newer with full solar systems and back up generators. Our oustposts are within a short 20 minute flight from base to cut down on costs and maximize your time on the water.

Fly In Camping

We have multiple lakes set up with boat cache’s and if you don’t mind roughing it bring a tent to fish your very own private lake. Excellent fishing and no crowded campsites!

Air Charter Service

We offer air transportation anywhere in Northwestern Ontario. Our fleet includes Twin engine Beech 18’s, DeHavilland Beavers as well as a Cessna 180. We service several Lodges in the area as well as providing service to private locations.

Great Service!

Extremely friendly staff that were very helpful getting our group and fishing gear to our destination and back safely, even in some less than ideal conditions. Would recommend flying with them to anyone!

Outstanding!

Great fly in service to remote resorts in the Nestor Falls area. On time, experienced pilots take you to and from resorts only accessible by flying
