Lac Seul Outposts & Ojibway Outfitters
Chamberlain Narrows
Sioux Lookout, Ontario Canada

  "Memories Guaranteed" 

Lac Seul - A name that sends shivers through the most ardent walleye, northern or muskie fishermen. Shorelines of this, the second largest inland lake in Ontario, are rimmed with sand and gravel beaches and as is common with Canadian shield lakes is interrupted with rocky points too numerous to count. Midlake humps and thousands of islands present walleye and northern fishing opportunities that dreams are made of. A structure fisherman's paradise where sonar skills are fun to practice and all too often rewarding. Silently luring in picturesque coves and quiet bays are weed patches waiting to explode with the splash of an angered or feeding muskie. Have you ever felt a muskie's stare?

This vast water system is primarily fed by three huge rivers known as the English from the south, the Vermilion from the east and the Root from the north. Strategically located where these three rivers meet is Chamberlain Narrows and the home of Lac Seul Outposts. From this location you are just moments away from the primary walleye spawning grounds of this majestic waterbody. Walleyes are in abundance and easy to fool with a jig tipped with your choice of bait. Walleyes in the 6-10 pound class are not a rare occurrence. With such a huge population of feed it is no wonder that world class northerns and muskies find this region of Lac Seul their preferred habitat.

"Chamberlain Narrows" is located approximately 40 miles north of the town of Sioux Lookout and is not accessible by road. Your access is either via one of our 22-24' launches or via your own boats and motors. Nestled among a tall stand of mature red pines and just a few feet from a beautiful sand beach is "Lac Seul Outposts" where you will find 14 modern cabins, capable of housing as few as two or as many as 12 guests. Nine of these cabins are tastefully appointed V.I.P. cabins with all indoor amenities (hot and cold water, showers and bathrooms).

These cabins are fully equipped with all cooking and eating utensils, electric lights, fans, refrigerators, propane stoves with ovens, woodstoves as well as outdoor propane bar-b-que grills, fish cookers and freezers.

Our 35 kw generator, which you cannot hear, runs 24 hours a day for your convenience.

LAC SEUL... MUSKIE, WALLEYE, AND PIKE

Walleyes everywhere and muskies so large as to stretch the imagination. Lac Seul is a jewel you can drive to. Once you get there, however, limited lake access makes fishing some sections of the lake difficult if you don't stay at an outpost.

The lake consists of four major sections and hundreds of thousands of acres of water. Our film crew fished the northeast section from Lac Seul Outposts at Chamberlain Narrows, owned and operated by Ken & Brenda Robins, an hour by boat from an access point near Sioux Lookout, Ontario.

An Ever Present Shot At Huge Walleyes!

The northeast section of Lac Seul offers an ever-present shot at big walleyes. Our fish averages 2 to 3 pounds and ran to 11 pounds. Each of two boats also landed a muskie a day, and one fish topped 40 pounds. Lac Seul may be the last bastion of super huge fish on the Canadian Shield. A pox on you if you got to kill a fish, even if it's a 50-pounder.

Although we didn't concentrate on pike, we did land several 15 to 20 pound fish incidental to muskie and walleye fishing. Fishing near cabbage beds near spawning bays should produce wonderful fish during early summer.

Lac Seul Outposts is a modern facility, with deluxe cabins complete with indoor plumbing.

We'll be back!
