Seseganaga Lake Outpost

Brad, Karen, & Crew, Thanks for another great trip. Here are some pictures of my Seseganaga Slam last Tuesday. We rolled up on a spot and I got the 25" Walleye on the first cast. Caught the 27" Northern about an hour later, then followed up with the 26" Walleye right before lunch. Decided to try for the laker later in the day, but forgot my laker rod, so with the combination of the wind and bumping the motor, I got a little walleye spinner down to 35' and up comes the 28" laker. What a day! At least it wasn't a hammer handle Northern to complete the slam. I threw in the 35" Northern, caught in a torrential downpour on Thursday, for effect. Even though it was windy, rainy and cold we were all still able to catch several good sized fish. I caught at least 10 20"+ walleye. It may take me until Monday at work to thaw out. Regards, Bill Heston

Went to Seseganaga for a couple years when we were into the fly-in type of fishing adventure and must say that fishing was always fantastic and the outpost cabins were very satisfactory. We went through Ignace Outposts and fly-in service and they were great. As in all fly-ins, bait can always be an issue so be prepared to use artificial but because of the ice houses on site at the cabins crawlers tend to be the best bet. But artificial is usually always all that's needed. One bait that I would never go there again without is tubes. Obviously something they don't see that often but they were all over a cast or vertical jigged tube. Never had heard a bad report out of Seseganaga so enjoy, eat plenty of fish, don't be afraid to venture away from the cabin.

Ginny and I decided to take a summer vacation to a pristine wilderness lake in Ontario. I had always had a desire to fish one of the best walleye lakes that this region had to offer. We both had done some research into which lakes provided trophy walleyes, northern pike and lake trout. The one that we agreed upon was Seseganaga. Seseganaga is only accessible by air, a real plus for us, because it receives limited angling pressure and it has large fish. Therefore, we contacted Brad and Karen Greaves from Ignace Outposts, Ltd. Their reputation for running a first class fly-in and for having the best outpost on Seseganaga is the reason we decided to select them for our vacation. From the time that we met them at an All Canada show until the time we arrived back at the float plane base, they took care of us. Prior to the trip they give all of their clients a booklet that allows them a checklist of things to bring and items to remember. Ignace Outposts, Ltd. became our host for a week, but the things that we learned while at camp go far beyond the experience of flight or catching of fish. The experience of living vicariously through the journal that resides at the cabin in Seseganaga is priceless and creates a lasting memory for this journalist. Each night after battling fish all day long and doing the nightly chores of dishes my wife and I would read a few stories or tales from Ses. The tales from Ses are the bonus because fishing is great, the weather is super, and the wildlife is spectacular.
