The Ogoki Reservoir

The Ogoki Reservoir covers over 34,000 acres and is 35 miles in length. This reservoir was formed as a water diversion to divert water flowing north and east to James Bay, south into Lake Nipigon for hydro generation on the Nipigon River. Construction on the project took place during the 1930’s and the dams were closed in 1942 combining three lakes into one large body of water.

Ogoki Reservoir is best noted for it’s exceptional walleye fishing with above average size walleye ranging from 3 ½ to 4 lbs in large numbers and it also produces large northern pike, whitefish and sturgeon.

Our camp on the Ogoki Reservoir is located on a 50-acre island, a couple miles from Eight Flume Falls over which the Ogoki River enters the reservoir. At this camp we have five guest cabins spread out along the east and north shores of the island.

This camp is suitable for fishing trips between 3 to 7 days and is capable of accommodating groups of 2 up to 36.

Come join us!  This will be a fly fishing vacation you will not soon forget as the Elliot family is best noted for it excellent service and attention to detail.  You will not be disappointed.

Greetings to one and all from the desk of Mattice Lake Outfitters and Wabakimi Air.

It is April 20th and we at Mattice Lake Outfitters are really wondering where our Spring is going?  Was Spring 2008 this way as well?  If many of you recall we were iced out of many outpost camp locations on opening weekend.  In fact we had several guests questioning whether or not this could really be true as at home in the US Spring was in full force with flowers in bloom and green landscapes abound.  As to not complain too much we did have a few days of sunshine which has taken care of some of the snow in the bush and the ice on the lakes however on the other hand we have heard of many local fisherman in the area still out ice fishing so that certainly does not sound Spring like to us.

We hope that with this blog and several other social medias we can keep you up to date with what is happening at Mattice Lake Outfitters and Wabakimi Air.

Cheers from everyone at the base.
