Kesagami Isn't Just Another Fishing Trip

It is a Unique Wilderness Experience!

Canada's Top Trophy Lake

Located (map) in the wilderness of northern Ontario just below James Bay, Kesagami is legendary for its trophy pike and walleye fishing. "Explosive top water action", is how angler Denny Leeson desribed the pike fishing. The fish are located in less than eight feet of water which means that all summer long they are accessible to surface baits.

Our gorgeous "American Plan" lodge and cabins, referred to by Canadian tourism officials as Ontario's "crown jewel of the north", has the distinction of being the only facility on Kesagami Lake and that makes for spectacular fishing. Guests who stay with us experience the peace and serenity of the northern Canadian wilderness while enjoying the best fishing that Canada has to offer.

The Fish

Virtually every guest catches the biggest pike of their life at Kesagami. However, some anglers visit just for the walleye fishing alone. From the end of May through to the end of June, it is not uncommon to catch over 100 fish in a day. As summer progresses, the walleye fishing becomes more challenging as the fish spread out through the lake.

The very biggest pike are often caught in July when anglers cover a number of maturing weedbeds to find these massive trophies. Legendary catches of 20 or more "trophy" fish in a day are usually associated with spawning and unique bait fish activity. Our single barbless hook and catch & release policy keeps these fish protected for everyone to enjoy.

Often our guests out-fish the pros. For those interested in hiring a boat captain or guide, our staff prides itself on taking care of you whether you're a novice or serious trophy hunter. Each year Kesagami is host to guests of all ages from brand new beginners to experience, skilled veterans. We can provide you the with the perfect on the water assistant.
