Irene Lake smallies

Irene Lake is a unique lake around here in that it has walleye, northern, lake trout, whitefish and small mouth bass.   When the walleye are slow, you can target bass.  When the bass are slow you can target trout, when the trout are slow you can target northern… and the list goes on. 

Last week 5 fellows from Tennessee visited us for the first time and stayed at our Irene Lake camp.  The smallies where hitting. 

Small Mouth Bass Action

Need I say more? Smallies are a thrill to catch. Don't believe me? Come and try it your self.

Ignace Outposts

Father and son

Jim Harnish and his son Toby spent a few quality days together at Irene Lake. They flew out this morning all smiles and thrilled with the time spent together. This was their first fly out experience and one that will provide fish tales and memories to be shared for many years to come. My bet is that 20 years from now there will be no regrets of having not done an adventure together like this. As Mark Twain wrote "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Weather was sunny and clear with some of the best days we've had this year in regards to sun and warm.

The small mouth bass kept the guys occupied.








Who out fished who has not been determined. I suppose a return adventure will be needed to settle the argument.

I do not know of many other ways a father and son can experience the wilderness and share time together like this. Even if fishing is slow the father /son experience makes the trip worth every penny.

Take your son (or father) fishing at Ignace Outposts.

More Irene Lake Bass

Irene Lake is a favorite for many groups for two reasons. Firstly, since it is our closest lake, the cost is the least. Secondly, it produces trophy walleye, northern, lake trout and smallies. The smallmouth fishing is well worth the effort. Pound for pound, no fresh water fish fights like a smallmouth bass.
















Not a bad sampling for a week's effort on Irene Lake.

The fish don't wait, so book now for 2009.

Grand Slam Fishing

The waters of Irene Lake lure anglers from far and wide for the ultimate Grand Slam of freshwater fishing: Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Walleye and Smallmouth Bass. The combination these world-class fish are found together in Irene Lake.

The lake itself is deep, clear and offers about 6,000 acres including a couple of portage lakes.

Our catch-and-release tradition (begun in the 1980's) helps assure great fishing year after year. We make every effort to conserve the fish population for future generations.

Mike and Darla returned today from another Irene Lake adventure.
Darla told us that one day she had 6 layers of clothes on to keep warm but that didn’t stop the fishing action. Several walleye over 30 inches, football size smallies, ferocious northern and tasty lake trout made the unseasonable weather much more bearable.

As usual before they left for home they not only left us some nice photos, they rebooked for their 2009 adventure. It is not too early to pin down May 2009 dates while they last. Give us a call today.
