Lount Lake Outpost

We had a great time on our trip up in your neck of the woods a few weeks ago. I enjoyed seeing you all again as we shared stories and small talk in the office over homemade deer sausage and cheese! We explored some new areas of Lount Lake that we had not visited before and found some new areas to fish on our next trip up to see you, Dave, and the rest of your fantastic crew. Having our previous trips being in late May to mid-June we got accustomed to the typical springtime fishing pattern where to fish are aggressive and found in typical springtime locations and structure. Having our trip in early August this year we found that we had to alter our approach somewhat. We found that the smallmouth and walleye were a little deeper in 10'-15' feet of water. Our best results for them came from fishing main lake points, secondary points and islands. We still had luck with our springtime lures (X-Raps, topwater, Pop-R's, Zara Spooks, etc.) fishing out from the smaller boulder lined banks, but quickly realized we needed to get deeper to get to the fish we were seeing on the fish finder in that 10'-15' foot of water. Deeper diving square bill crankbaits in various color patterns provided results on these fish. We also found that wacky rigging a 4"-5" Gulp worm on a jighead for those suspended fish worked well. Many walleye and smallmouth found this combination irresistible. Overall we found that we were running into larger northerns this year. We found that the bigger brutes were in medium to large bays and about 15'-20' out from the weed/grass line in about 10' feet of water. We boated and released a handful of 33"-38" fish and unfortunately lost a couple of 40"+ ones at the boat because we did not have nets adequate to handle that size of fish.

What a great place to visit! The staff at NFO, are so friendly and nice. They treat you like family. My husband and I flew to Lount Lake for a week. This was my first trip and his third. Our pilot, Kyle was awesome. Great personality and very helpful. This was also my first flight on a float plane. The scenery at this place is unbelievable! Not enough words to describe it! Calm, serene, peaceful and totally stress free! Truly God's country! Highly recommended! Everyone should experience this place at least once! Miles and miles of tranquility! A week of memories I will never forget. Love the sound of the loons. Schedule your trip today, do not delay!

Just finished my 13th year to Lount Lake, Dave and Michelle make us feel like family, the service is unbelievable and the accommodations are perfect. This is a trip that you will enjoy the best of Northwest Ontario, enjoy nature and have everything you need for your fishing adventure.
