My dad & I returned for the second straight year because of the quality of the camp, boats and fishing and of course the personable staff. Unformately our trip was cut short due to the illness of my grandmother so we had to fly out after being there for only 24 hrs. David took the time to arrange our fly out with the neighboring camp, took us over there the next morning and waited with us until we flew out (2hrs later), all while he had 26 guys in camp. To me that says two things, one he cared about us to make sure we were taken care of and that he complete trust in his staff to handle things while he is gone. But onto the fishing, in the one day of fishing we caught perch that average 11 - 12" with the biggest measuring 13.5" along with about 10 pike and who knows how many walleyes. Based on that success, the fun we had last year and the way they worked to get us out quickly the next morning we have already mailed our deposit for next year. Within our group I believe we will increase from the 12 guys we had this year to 16 or 18. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone.

The place we'd gone to for years had changed. We made an effort to find a new lake/destination. Expeditions North was recommended to us but we did go there. We tried a place north/west of Thunder Bay in 2008 and then went to Expeditions North in 2009. All I will say is they set the standard for value. First, really good Pike and Walleye. As big of Northern and best volumes walleye we've had for August fishing. The assistance getting to know a new lake was really appreciated. It did not take long and we figured things out. The camp is the cleanest we have ever been to. Organized and well run, on top of their game. Nice to go to a place where everything, really works. We will be back this year.

We fished in August. We fish Lake Leelanau in Michigan lots. Never had walleye fishing like that. http://www.expeditions-north.com/02-lodge.htm is a really nice place. Great equipment and surrounds, accommodations were perfect. Thanks for a great vacation.

I’ve been to the camp 3 years running and it is just amazing at delivering. The facilty and staff are off the chart the best..bar none! Hot showers, Saunas, full kitchens, screened meeting patio… Fishing-wise, I’ve been there in mid-June, Late July, and Late August. It’s been wonderful. THe lake is large enough that if a hatch is shutting down fishing on one of the feeder rivers coming into the late, you just fish somewhere else on the lake. We’ve always been able to get on the bite. Early Morning, late evening, Mid-Day… I have two boys who know a lot more about fishing because we fish what the conditions give us.

After hunting and fishing all over Ontario the past 30 years, I came across Expeditions North in 2001. I don’t go anywhere else any more. There’s simply no reason to. The staff is the best. The facilities are outstanding and the fishing and bear hunting are exceptional. It’s the one and only place I recommend to all my friends and business acquaintances. I don’t like to go anyplace where people can drive to, the pressure on the fish and game is too great. This is fly-in only at it’s best. It’s easy to get to, and just a short flight. I’ve never had a bad day at Nagagami Lake.

Fished here in June 2009. Great fishing for walleye with a 50 fish per person per day average. We caught some quality walleye up to 27 inches with bigger ones caught in camp. Can’t say enough good things about Expeditions North.

Thumbs up for a GREAT fly-in fishing vacation. Years ago we stayed on Nagagami before we found Expeditions North. (Beware of old leaking wooden boats) We love that lake. When we found Expeditions North…….well …best Ontario trips we have had. The investments made in the camp are pretty obvious. If you have been on Nagagami and not scene this place you would not believe it. We almost always have had great fishing for Walleye/perch and some Pike (had some broken lines on big ones) Watch out for the rocks !!! Some great shore lunch spots. We fish July/August to hit the nice weather and just plain relax. We’ve always eaten lots of walleye. Ontario walleye are the best!
