Wild Eyes Wilderness Escape
Jubilee Lake, Ontario — Near Ear Falls
Wild Eyes Wilderness Escape, operated by Kevin and Kodi Kahoot out of Ear Falls, Ontario, has earned consistently strong praise across reviews. Guests describe the camp on Joyce Lake as a standout remote outpost experience, with one reviewer noting it was the best cabin he had stayed in across more than 20 years of outpost trips. The owners have invested significantly in renovating and rebuilding the original camp, and the results are well regarded. The setting itself draws repeated mention, with a west-facing deck overlooking the lake described as breathtaking.
Fishing is the centerpiece of every review, and the reports are exceptional. Joyce Lake is described as a consistent producer of large numbers of walleye, with one boat reportedly landing over 300 in a single day and another connecting on 17 consecutive casts. The lake also has a strong reputation for big pike, with fish in the 41- to 45-inch range documented during at least one trip. Perch numbers are also highlighted as unusually impressive for a remote lake. Guests praise Kevin and Kodi directly as hosts, and one experienced group said they would return without hesitation.
Based on available reviews, there are no recurring complaints or concerns raised by guests. The reviews are uniformly positive and specific in their praise. This destination appears best suited for groups of experienced anglers — particularly those targeting trophy walleye and large pike — who want a well-maintained remote outpost with serious fish numbers. It may also appeal to first-time fly-in guests given the quality of the accommodations and the attentiveness of the hosts.
