Video Transcript
What if the only decision you had to make all week was which lake to fish next? No inbox. No traffic. Just a map of water that belongs to your group alone.
That’s Ajax Lake — a fly-in outpost in Northwestern Ontario about 25 air miles from Nestor Falls, where one cabin opens onto a five-lake system you reach by short portages. Walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and lake trout, across water that changes character every time you move.
This is the lake for groups who’d rather explore than settle — eight of you fanning out across new bays each morning, comparing fish over a shore lunch, arguing happily about where to go tomorrow.
Picture it: a different drop-off at dawn, a huge pike from a weed bay, a lake nobody else will touch this season. You can keep meaning to take that trip — or you can take it.
How many more ordinary seasons before you give your group this one?
Your family.
Your friends.
Your lake.
We’re just glad to bring you there. Northwest Flying.
Ajax Lake is a fly-in multi-species outpost operated by Northwest Flying Inc. in Northwestern Ontario, reachable only by floatplane from Nestor Falls. This page and its video introduce one of Northwest Flying’s five outpost cabins — a single cabin, sleeping up to eight, set on a five-lake system you explore by short portages and canoe.
Ajax is the explorer’s lake. Where some outposts are about one body of water, Ajax opens onto five: the main lake, about four miles long with deep water to roughly 90 feet, plus four connected portage lakes of varied character. That range is why it holds four species — walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and lake trout — and why it suits groups who’d rather move and discover than fish the same shoreline all week. The lake has produced northern pike up to 44 inches and bass up to 23 inches.
When your group flies into Ajax, the system is yours for the length of your stay — no shared water, no competing boats.
Watch the video to see what a week on Ajax looks like, then read the trip-planning answers below covering group size, the flight from Nestor Falls, the species you can target, and how the exclusivity works.
For more than sixty years, Northwest Flying has flown groups to these remote lakes from its base in Nestor Falls, Ontario. Ajax is the choice for groups who want variety, room to roam, and a lake all their own.

What kind of fishing trip is Ajax Lake best for?
Ajax Lake is best for groups who want variety and room to explore. One cabin opens onto a five-lake system connected by short portages, holding walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and lake trout. It sleeps up to eight and suits families, friends, and mixed-skill parties who'd rather move between lakes and chase different species than fish one shoreline all week.

The Ajax cabin sleeps up to eight anglers and is reached by floatplane from Northwest Flying's base in Nestor Falls, Ontario — about 25 air miles out, a short flight into the bush. Trips depart between 9 a.m. and noon, and round-trip airfare, boats, motors, and unlimited gas are included in the package. (See the Rates page for full pricing and what to bring.)
Last reviewed: 2026-06-05What can you catch on Ajax, and how does the water fish?
At Ajax you can target walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and lake trout. The main lake is about four miles long with deep water to roughly 90 feet, a rock-and-boulder shoreline, and weed bays and cabbage patches that fish well for pike and largemouth; trolling, jigging, and casting all produce. Four connected portage lakes add more water of varied character. Fishing changes through the season as fish move and feed in different locations — not better or worse, just different — so your approach shifts from spring through fall. The lake has produced pike up to 44 inches and bass up to 23 inches.

Yes. Ajax has one cabin on a private five-lake system, so when your group flies in, the entire system is yours for the length of your stay — including the four portage lakes. No shared shoreline, no competing boats, no waiting for the good water. One group, one cabin, one private system.
