I have flown with Air Cochrane on 7 different trips to Mikwam, Haultain, and Nettogami. This is an annual vacation that we have to come to love and have never been disappointed and we have fished when it was really hot and really cold. This past summer we went up with 5 boys between the ages of 13-16 and 3 fathers. We caught several hundred fish including a pike over 40″ and a walleye over 25″. For me I like this service because I know I will catch a lot of fish and this has been a way for me to excite the kids to fishing because they will always catch fish. The trick is to not try and be cute and use lures that are on the fringe. Just use simple jigs for the walleye and spinner baits/spoons for pike. The value and the the fishing is outstanding…..and if you are lucky enough to have Andre/George at the dock and Ron flying, than you will have best that Northern Ontario can offer.

I've used AirCochrane for the past two years and I could not be more pleased with my experience. I had the great opportunity to fish Kesagami Lake last year while this past year I fished an outpost camp at Snare Lake. July 4-10 and the fishing was on. Late June is said to be one of the better times to book your trip but with only 6 groups per year, it is sometimes difficult to get your first choice of time. The summer storms in this area really turn the fish on. The hotter and more sunny days slow the fish down considerably during the daytime. A great conservation policy makes AirCochrane's lakes a premier destination to enjoy some of canada's finest fishing.

I found several sets of pictures on photo hosting sites from people that went fishing with Air Cochrane. This group went with Air Cochrane in 2007. Pictures are posted on Flickr. On July, 2009, this group spent time at French Lake. Pictures are posted on Flickr. A set of pictures was posted on Panoramio by j_birchmore who spent some time on Snare and Bateman Lakes. A brief review of the trip is provided. "Flying into the Air Cochrane Snare Lake Camp. Tough fishing on this lake early in the season (late May). Better fishing on Bateman. Not a lot of fish, but big pike!" Chris Fishing Traveler

Fished with Air Cochrane a few years ago. We had a great lake to fish and a very good time. Fishing was a little slower than usual but that is part of fishing. We still caught plenty of fish. Being so remote in the beauty of the Canadian wilderness is incredible. Biggest walleye caught was 25 inches and the biggest northern pike was 39 inches. Definitely would recommend Air Cochrane.
