About This Lodge
Reviews & Reputation
Winoga Lodge, operated by the Mansfield family (Dick and son Troy) out of Sioux Lookout and Sioux Narrows in Northern Ontario, earns consistently strong praise across the reviews available. Both accounts reflect a genuine enthusiasm for the lodge, the owners, and the overall experience — with no notable complaints surfacing in either review. The Mansfields are described as hands-on operators who are deeply involved in guiding and hosting, with Dick reportedly fishing around 160 days a year and both he and Troy personally guiding clients on the ice and in the field.
Guests highlight several standout qualities: well-appointed, spacious accommodations (including cedar log cabins that sleep up to 10, with full kitchens, hot water, and wood stoves), excellent fishing for walleye, pike, and whitefish with fast action reported on both open water and ice, and warm, personable hospitality from the Mansfield family and their guides. Remote fly-in camps are noted as recently built and surprisingly comfortable, even offering solar power and satellite internet. The food experience — particularly a shore-style fish fry featuring walleye, pike, and whitefish straight from the fryer — is called out as a highlight in its own right.
Based on the reviews, Winoga Lodge appears best suited for anglers focused on walleye and pike fishing, whether in summer or winter ice-fishing seasons, as well as hunters pursuing moose in Northern Ontario. The lodge would appeal to groups of friends or small parties who value comfortable, well-equipped remote accommodations without sacrificing the wilderness feel. There are no recurring complaints in the available reviews, though the sample is limited to two accounts, both of which are clearly positive in tone.
