World-Class Multi-Species Fishing on Loonhaunt Lake

Loonhaunt Lake is one of the rare fly-in destinations that truly offers top-tier fishing across Ontario’s “Big Five” species, all on a single body of water.

Walleye & Northern Pike
Large shallow bays, island neck-downs, and weed edges produce consistent action throughout the season. Groups regularly experience high-numbers fishing with opportunities for trophy-class fish.

Smallmouth Bass
Rocky shorelines and island points near the cabin provide outstanding Smallmouth Bass fishing, known for aggressive strikes and hard-fighting fish.

Lake Trout
Because of Loonhaunt’s size and depth, Lake Trout thrive in its colder basins. Early and late season anglers can target trout closer to structure, while summer fishing focuses on deeper water.

Muskie
Loonhaunt is a destination lake for Muskie anglers. Large island points, saddles, and expansive structure create ideal ambush zones for these apex predators.

Trophy Release & Conservation Policy

To protect this elite fishery, Loonhaunt Lake operates under a strict Trophy Release Policy.
While guests are encouraged to enjoy traditional shore lunches with smaller fish, all trophy-sized fish must be photographed and released. This ensures the long-term health of the lake and preserves trophy genetics for future guests.

Fishing Loonhaunt Lake is like having private access to a wilderness department store.
No matter which species you’re “shopping” for — Walleye, Bass, Lake Trout, or Muskie — every aisle is stocked, and the lake is so large you could explore it for years and still discover something new.
