Adventure with Your Own Private Lake

An Unforgettable Experience

Imagine the welcoming morning aroma of fresh coffee perking and bacon sizzling in the pan. You look up from the grill and catch those last wispy patches of fog rolling off the private lake you’ve got all to yourself. It was selected, in consultation with you, from among the ten diverse locations that dot our map, as the one you’d like best for your on-your-own adventure. Soon you’ll leave the cozy comfort of your hideaway cabin to hop in your own boat, chart your own course and search out the monster fish teeming just below the sparkling surface of the water you hear lapping at the shore.

“Your service, staff and support was, once again, off the charts! Sue and I would like to thank you personally for sending the sling chairs in for us. When we got back to camp on Thursday, the chairs were there. We just plunked down in them, let out a big sigh and smiled at each other.”Bruce and Sue Sleboda - Cave Creek, Arizona

The More, The Merrier

  • Four Cabins Allow for Larger Group Sizes
  • Get Even More, with Access to Legendary Morton Lake
  • Monster Pike, Loads of Walleye, and Lake Trout, Too!

As you fly over our File Lake Outpost Camp, you’ll notice the stunning emerald waters that sparkle in the sunlight. Stretching approximately 12 miles long and 5 miles wide, these deep, clear waters promise endless angling opportunities. In fact, there are guests who have been returning for over 29 years and are still finding new bays to fish!

File Lake Outpost

If you're a fan of variety, File Lake is your perfect fishing destination! Here, you can reel in three exciting species: northern pike, walleye, and lake trout. Picture this: northern pike reaching up to a whopping 51" and walleye averaging between 24” and 28”. Plus, the early spring and late fall are prime times for lake trout fishing, with average sizes ranging from 18" to 24" and the occasional giant hitting 36"!

One of the benefits of our File Lake Outpost Camp is its capacity to host larger groups. Nestled among tall Manitoba timbers, are four cozy cabins that can each accommodate up to 6 guests. Two cabins are located on the mainland where File and Morton Lakes meet, while the other two are tucked away on a serene island just across the way. In 2025 we will be adding a camp manager to enhance the day-to-day operations of this outpost camp.

As an added bonus, your stay includes access to the legendary Morton Lake, famous for its incredible walleye fishing! Easily reachable via a trolley system, this unique body of water is about 7 miles long and 2 miles wide. With its cooler, darker waters and abundant weed beds, islands, and underwater reefs, Morton Lake just might be one of the fastest action walleye fishing spots you’ll find in Canada. On average, anglers can expect to catch 75 to 100 fish per boat, along with trophy northern pike ranging from 41” to 46” lurking in the weeds.

Are you ready for a fishing adventure like no other? Come join us at File Lake Outpost Camp, where unforgettable memories await!

“We caught plenty of fish to eat and had a great time. We are already looking to start planning for next year. ”Bruce Long

Siers Lake Outpost

Something for Everyone

  • Three Unique Lakes, Three Unique Fishing Experiences
  • Experience the Tradition and Adventure of Portaging
  • Outstanding Fishing Opportunities From May To September

Located 60 miles north of our floatplane base in Flin Flon and 40 miles from the nearest road, Siers Lake puts the “wild” in wilderness. Our cabin on this popular outpost location is the only structure on the three diverse lakes Siers opens up to you. With an average depth of 20’, Siers itself is a shallow tea-hued body that sets the bar high time and again for excellent walleye fishing, both in numbers and size. Large pike are not uncommon either, making for added excitement when that massive jack decides to take a pass at your walleye jig.

To the north lies Einarson Lake, 30’ deep and connected to Siers by a creek. Crystal clear, cold, and spring-fed, Einarson is alive with lake trout and giant walleye. Average trout size is 3 to 5 pounds, with several in the 20 to 30 pound range also recorded.

Last of the trio is Bear Lake, accessible via a short portage off Siers’ southeast corner. With a structure and fish resembling those of Siers, Bear Lake offers walleye aplenty and ample large pike waiting to bend your pole and pull your drag.

This is a triple threat fisher’s heaven!

Your two-bedroom cabin is nestled on a beautiful sand beach that just happens to be a hot bed for midsummer walleye fishing. Ten miles from tip to tip and part of the Waysaykamik River system, this vibrant body of water boasts abundant quantities of lake trout and pike, as well as walleye, enough to keep the most rigorous fishers busy. Although the lake has an average depth of 30’ to 40’, the lake trout pull together in schools for the summer season in holes that punch down to 80’!

Hassett Lake Outpost

Lake Trout Central

  • THE Lake Trout Capital of the Kississing Family of Outposts
  • Waters So Clear You Can See Your Trophy Trout 10 ft. Down
  • 100 Plus Pike-A-Day Bonus With Short Portage to Nearby Guthrie Lake

Hassett was constructed of milled logs in 2002, with no expense spared making it an ideal haven for adventurers who want to put aside the walleye jigs and focus on the big guys for a week. The cabin sits in the southeast corner of the lake, in the epicenter of its best trout fishing. Two by three miles in size and 110' deep, Hassett’s spring-fed waters are so clear you can see the trout on your line, 10 feet down! And watch out for the giant pike cruising the shallows!

A quarter mile from the cabin lies Hassett’s sister lake, Guthrie. A 20-30 minute walk takes you to a fishery that couldn’t be more different. Guthrie’s shallow tea-colored waters offer pike the same way Hassett offers trout – big in both numbers and size. It hardly matters what lure you use; daily catches of 100 fish or more are common. Guthrie is a pike factory not to be missed! Hassett and Guthrie offer an irresistible combination of trout and pike fishing that will keep lines tight and have you crying “Fish on!” from sunup to sundown.
