Fantastic Fishing
Sturgeon Lake, over 50 miles long, nevertheless provides fishing opportunities under almost any weather conditions, thanks to its many bays and islands. All major game species (walleyes, lakers, and northerns) are numerous. Unlike the fishing in some other camps, which is good only in May and June, Sturgeon Lake provides great fishing throughout the summer and winter seasons.
Whiskey Jack also offers GREAT angling on remote lakes. Some of the smaller lakes require a little extra effort to get to (a truck with decent clearance is suggested for running the roads to most of them), but these lakes are seldom fished. Plentiful with walleyes and northerns, the potential for trophy-sized lunkers lures the adventurous. The boats on these waters are included in the price of a week’s boat rental, so there are NO extra charges for these special excursions (you can, of course, rent boats by the day if you prefer). The following waters listed are only SOME of the many which can be accessed.
Eady Lake: Just across the road from Whiskey Jack’s driveway, a dark water lake with tons of Walleye and Big Pike.
1/4 white jig and minnow are deadly combination for Walleye.
Stringbean: Another rarely fished lake, need to portage a boat and motor from Barnard.
Beckington: A 12 mile ride, can drive up to it – a long narrow lake.
Princess Lake: A boat ride to behind Coveny Island begins your 3/4 mile portage to a shallow creek which leads to this untouched jewel.
Squaw: A twenty-five mile jaunt, just off a gravel logging road, another top spot for catching a limit of marble eyes.
Six-Mile: A truck ride down a five mile gravel road brings you to this great northern spot – lakers are also available
Barnard Lake: A short motor and gear portage (boats are present) from Eady brings you to Barnard.
