FLY-IN TROPHY FISHING & HUNTING ADVENTURES

Andrew and Simon were great hosts. The equipment and cabins were perfect. We could not have asked for better accommodations. 100% satisfied.
Fishing was fantastic (what little time we had for fishing as we were moose hunting). With their tips, we were able to connect with a smaller meat bull and they did about 95% of the work getting it out and preparing the quarters for the trip home. For two guys in their 70's, that meant a lot. We have hunted all over Canada, and this was one of the best hunts we were on. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of a fishing or hunting adventure. Thanks again guys, and if I can borrow an expression from the younger generation, "You Rock".

We just completed a successful moose hunt with Gray / Wood outfitters.
Camp and equipment were all top notch and every thing worked perfectly!
Best outfitter in Northern Ontario.
I Highly recommend this outfitter for anyone wanting northern ONTARIO vacation

Well we had a good hunt followed by good fishing.
Enjoyed by each of the six guys in our party.
The weather wasn’t great but welcome to Ritcher Lake: wait 15 minutes and it may change.
Very well kept.

Beautiful country; superb hospitality; great guide experience. Lots of memories!

WIndsor Lake is a beautiful location with great amenities. THe weather did not co-operate for our moose hunt (high 20's to 30) however the scenery , the fishing and the camp made it a four star vacay...staff could not be more communicative and place is excetional given the remote location....great trip

This team are professionals at what they do. Nothing hidden good job Gray Wood

I highly recommend Grey Woods Outfitters, first class Owners who pay attention to detail & the needs of their guests. Fishing is beyond belief!!

We spent a week at Blackbirch in early August. The weather was against us with a cold front followed by scorching heat. We still hammered the fish!! Big fat healthy pike and tons of chunky walleye. The average size was great. Accommodations were fantastic. Heck, the WiFi was faster than at home.

My brother and I visited the Beteau Lake outpost camp the first week of July 2024. We had visited the Blackbirch Lake site the year before. At that time, water levels were high and the fishing challenging. We got about half as many fish as at Blackbirch, about fifty for each of us for the week. We mainly targeted pike, but with good advice from the staff were able to find enough walleye to eat for the week, most in about an hour’s time fishing in the current and eddy where the river had a rapids near an island. For this we used leaderless jigs with twister tails or rap baits. The pike fishing was a lot of fun, and we caught them on a variety of usual baits like spoons, plugs, and spinners, with some pike in the 30+ in. size. We experimented for the first time using some large (6+ in.) Gitzit tube baits, but without success. We tried out a new inexpensive (under $40) hand-held Lucky Fish Finder and found that it worked fine at getting the water depth correctly.

There was only one other group there during our week, a very pleasant couple from Canada. It seems there was a late hatch of mosquitos this year, so they were a bit of a problem in the sleeping cabins and cooking cabin and close to shore or in the evenings on the lake. The mosquitos could be controlled remarkably well by burning the pyrethrin mosquito coils provided, which effectively seemed to actually kill the moquitos for the night by burning less than 1/3 of a coil, allowing comfortable sleep. Be sure to ask about these and nets for your head if you are early in the season. Though pyrethrins are a natural insecticide from chrysathenums, we preferred to use the minimum amount. The drinking water is from the lake and should be purified. We found that a Waterdrop membrane gravity filter with a bag worked quickly and fine for under $50 from Amazon.

The boats and new motors, with well-designed prop guards, performed well and the camp was all in good order and clean. We had a great time, enjoyed the fishing and saw a moose cow and calf wading in the river one day for a real treat. We also saw moose and bear on the drive in and out near the Nagagamisis Provincial Park North of Homepayne.

We would strongly recommend Gray Wood Outfitters to prospective clients. We hope to return soon.

Both my sons Hunter (15), Benjamin (14), and myself spent the week of July 13- July 20 at Beteau Lake with Gray Wood outfitters. We have been to numerous fly in fishing trips all across northern Ontario and the fishing at Beteau Lake is second to none! I inquired with Adam in regards to last minute availability and he had us booked in for the following week, absolutely amazing. The boats and motors were new and we had absolutely no issues. The walleye were found predominantly near the current areas in high numbers. The largest walleye for us that week was just shy of 28”, most of our big walleye were caught on white flicker minnows we also caught lots on white swimbaits. We also caught numerous pike in the high 30’s and 3 in the 40”+ range. The cabins were very comfortable and the fans were a treat during the hot nights. The shared kitchen lodge was fantastic with all the cooking appliances you could ask for. A big thank you also to Steve and Doni for catering to our needs. This place is a true gem, the quality of fishing is second to none, the equipment also second to none. If your looking for a memorable trip that is hassle free and an outfitter that is professionally run, get a hold of Adam or Andrew at Gray Wood outfitters I promise you will not be disappointed!
Thank you
Hunter, Ben, and Collin

Superb facilities and amenities for an outpost camp. Excellent communications. Andrew and Adam go above and beyond to ensure your trip is flawless. Fishing is off the charts given their deep and remote wilderness locations. My 18 yo son and I just returned from a week at Windsor lake. He and I caught between 100 and 150 walleye every day along with a handful of monster pike. Do not hesitate to book a trip with Gray Wood - top notch across the board.

Our first time at Beteau lake, very clean, Nice separate cabins as other Lakes they have are one room bunking.
Dixon's always enjoy these trips. outfitters are always out to make trip the best. The best this year Adam was your pet snake at camp
most people have dogs, cats that roam freely,,,,
Ha, not your camp.. A 3 foot Gardner snake met me for breakfast while I was cooking..Every day we met,, Bugs were also great
Did get some fish, But myself ,I was so excited to see my first baby moose, Our crew saw many moose....WILL BE RETURNING NEXT YEAR AGAIN.

Gray Wood Outfitters , had a great time at Beteau camp, Adam is always so responsive and accommodating, they are an awesome outfitter to deal with. Doni, the camp manager was such a great help to us because, since the water was unusually high, the fishing was a challenge. Still managed to secure some amazing fish dinners, which were easy to cook using the facilities the camp had to offer. A word of warning, if going in early July, bring bug jackets and mosquitoe coils. Looking forward to next year and glad we made a new friend in Doni!!!

Just spent a week at Gray Wood Outfitters (Blackbirch Lake). We had a fantastic week with great fishing.

The cabin is comfortable and has everything you could need: two fridges, freezer, gas stove, BBQ and hot water on demand for a shower at the end of the day.

The fishing is spectacular with MANY walleye in excess of 20 inches. Our boat landed 104 fish between noon and 4:30 one day. I’ve never had a blister from fishing before, but Black Birch Lake and Gray Wood Outfitters delivered.

The availability of internet is a very nice touch allowing guests to keep in touch.

With the installation of an electric fence around the entire camp, there is additional mitigation of unwanted bear activity.

The fishing is spectacular, the cabin is comfortable and the experience overall was fantastic.

Highly recommended!

Blackbirch Lake. Fantastic outfitter. Congratulations Graywood Outfitters. Well done! Camp has all the amenities. Writing this review from the lake itself! Fishing is outstanding. Lots of areas to explore and wildlife to see.
Pickerel over 20" all day. Big Pike. Bring lots of bait. Lots of fish. 671 fish for the week. Camp has everything. Internet to enjoy and stay connected. Hot water on demand with a hot shower. Great boats and new Yamaha 4 strokes. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back.

Just completed an amazing week at Blackbirch Lake. The accommodation was first class for a northern flyin experience. Hot water on demand, generator for electricity, propane gas stoves, bbq, Starlink for communications back home. Walleye fishing is first class with lots of numbers and size. The pike are plentiful with trophies aplenty. So much water to explore, we had a blast. All the equipment is up to date and in great condition. We will definitely be back!

Second trip with GrayWood….top notch outfitter with access to great lakes. Will definitely be planning another trip.

This is my 4th trip with Gray Wood. I've been to all their lakes now. Each cabin was in good shape, fish hut was in tact and it was great to have a shower after a long day of fishing. Boats were good and had no problems with the motors. Already looking to lock in another date.

At Gray Woods outfitters. We had the trip of a lifetime catching trophy pike and walleye in Beteau lake. Steve our camp guide was as great as they get. Did everything to keep us comfortable. Above and beyond.

Excellent Camp and Services. Steve was great at the camp and everything at Beteau Lake was great. Although we did not have good weather and the water levels were at an all-time high, we were still able to catch good numbers of walleye each day. The pike fishing was tougher due to the high water and cool water temps, but we were able to catch a decent amount each day.
Looking forward to our next trip to one of Gray Wood's camps.

Just got back from Beteau Lake, and fished opening week 18-25 May. The weather was a bit cold but we still were able to find the fish. This is our 2nd year coming here and Adam, Andrew, Ben, and Ivers are great to work with. I was able to catch a 38" Pike and a 26" Walleye in the same afternoon. The biggest Pike I caught that week is a 40". We are already planning next year's trip.

Had a great time definitely worth the trip and was amazing to have the whole area all to our selves. camp accommodations were very comfortable despite how remote they location is. All staff were very knowledgeable and never left one question unanswered. coming back for that 70”+ legendary bull thanks gusy 🍻

Had an absolute blast at the Beteau Lake outpost where we were able to shoot a 40” bull day one and the fishing there should really just be called catching! The pride they take at there camps making them the best they can be is incredible and Andrew and Simon were both amazing guides! Can’t wait to get back out with Gray Wood Outfitters again!

Excellent amenities. The guide was friendly, competent, and taught me a lot! Definitely planning another trip!

Great trip to Blackbirch lake. Started with Nakina air first class flight. Second year at the camp many updates from last year It just gets better. Fishing was fantastic endless supply of walleye and many large pike. Thanks again Graywood outfitters

Great people, good communication, fantastic experience!

Awesome week at Beteau Lake with Gray Wood Outfitters! Never had a trip with such a consistent supply of LARGE pike and walleye. From the flight, the camp and our host Doni the entire adventure was fantastic! Thanks again.

We had a very enjoyable week. Great time with great friends. Thank you to Gray Wood Outfitters for a nice cabin and Camp sight!

What a wonderful week at Beteau Lake with Gray Wood Outfitters! The fishing was amazing none the less and the camp was just perfect. A big thanks to our hosts Benny and Doni.

Our group Troy, Gaston, Michel , Richard and myself enjoyed every minutes of our trip in this beautiful wilderness.

Also a big shout out to Bruce our pilot and all the staff at Nakina air service. These man and woman are amazing and work really hard to make theses adventures perfect.
Already can’t wait to go back!

Great business. Cabin was great. Equipment is well maintained and works well. 18th fly in trip and I can tell you that Gray Wood does it right. Fishing at Blackbirch was tremendous. We are already booked for next year to return.

Beautiful! Great accommodations! The best fishing I've done in 20 years. Beteau outpost is very a beautiful location. Would love to come back again.

Highly recommended for those addicted anglers!

We just had a wonderful family fishing adventure at Blackbirch Lake with four of us guys. Our family has been hunting and fishing for over 100 years and we have been on a dozen trips to Michigan and Canada over the last 50 years. John and Phil are avid fishermen, owning their own fishing boats. John has fished all over the US, in Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Of all of the fishing camps and locations we have enjoyed fishing, Blackbirch Lake has, overwhelmingly, been the one that stands out for it’s far-above-average abundance of fish. The camp was well-organized and comfortable for us, with hot water showers, electricity, and a new satellite internet connection that worked well.

The water levels were low when we were there in late July, and we had to watch out for big rocks in numerous places. The prop guards worked very well at lowest speed in forward and reverse. It took us 2-3 days to learn the lakes, by which time we were able to catch near 100 fish per day between the four of us. We mostly targeted Pike, catching many pike over 2 ft. and up to 40 in. We also caught plenty of Walleye and had more than enough to eat each night.
Mistassin Lake had a rocky, but passable connection, and was the most productive. We tried the south end of the portage lake 2 times, saw some perch, but had almost no hits or bumps, though the habitat looked great. We hooked a big 40+ inch Pike, but it got away on a barbless lure. While that was disappointing, there are enough fish to catch that barbless is a good idea to keep the Pike mouths healthy, even if a few are lost before reaching the boat. It’s a good idea to take an extra small gas can in the boat for the portage lake; just don’t leave it there for the bears.
We were fishing the deeper (3-10 ft) weed beds, the rocky shores with drop offs to deeper water, and the rocky points to get both Pike and Walleye. Phil had a portable Garmin fish finder with GPS that was effective in locating fish depths, and mapping mid-lake humps that produced a lot of fish, especially Walleye, up to 25 inches. For baits, we tried a lot of different types of baits from jigs with twister tails to jerk baits, swim baits, spooks, buzz baits, spinner baits, and spoons. Everything worked on both Pike and Walleye.
So we certainly loved our trip to Blackbirch Lake and would strongly recommend Gray Wood Outfitters to prospective clients. We hope to return soon.

Had an absolutely amazing time at Blackbirch. The entire experience was more than we could have asked for. Adam and Andrew and their wives were so responsive throughout the booking process and were patient with my endless questions leading up to the trip would definitely recommend this outfitter and we can’t wait for our next trip. Best fishing trip ever!!!

What an incredible week at Blackbirch lake. Amazing flight in to start our journey with beauty all around. Once there we found every we would for our week including spares of everything just in case. The fishing was incredible and we are already planning to return in the very near future!! Thank you Adam and the whole GrayWood crew! Incredible communication and the addition of the Starlink system makes staying in touch easy. Look forward to visiting you again!

Windsor Lake, July 7th to 14, 2023, group of 8

Our group has over 40 fly in trips under our belt. Nothing compares to Windsor Lake. It is a river system with fast moving water, some interesting rapids and rocks. Driving the boats requires 100% concentration. Water depth means nothing as there could be rocks 10ft ahead!

The camp and facilities are 5 stars. Located so far north…5.5 stars. Nothing like a hot shower after being out in the rain all day. The deep fryer was much appreciated. Besides great fish we had homemade onion rings daily.

Unlike a lake it took a while to figure out the water. We never got to explore it all. There is endless water to fish. It would take several trips back to see it all. Catching fish, lots of fish is a given. Caught nearly a 1000 without really targeting the walleye. We expected more big pike, but the timing (July) and water conditions were a factor. Pilot said he has never seen the water so low. However, the Walleye are big and plentiful. Many over 20”, biggest was 29”. The surprise was a 51” Sturgeon and a 6Lb sucker. Even caught 2 walleyes came while trolling topwater’s. Never experienced so many Walleyes and Sturgeon jumping out of the water.! Our #1 lure on this and many trips has been the Mepps Cyclops.

We saw Bears, Moose and even a surprise wolf!

The Woods and Grays were great hosts and accommodating. If you want and outrageous fishing trip book Windsor Lake. Our Party has rebooked for next year.

Our adventure was on Blackbirch lake, GrayWood's most northern outpost camp and it did not disappoint. The accommodations were as expected and the added starlink internet made it even more like home, proving us the ability to share some of our catches with our family back at home. The access to Mistassin Lake also provide additional fishing opportunities for full day outings with our group. Our group boated over 1,500 walleye for the week and some amazing Northern Pike in the 35+ inch range. We hope to be back next year!!

Recently visited Windsor Lake Outpost for my first ever trip to Canada. What an incredible experience!!

You’ll begin your journey with Nakina air. Their staff and pilots are friendly, helpful, and efficient. Our flights were comfortable and most importantly done safely.

The amount of amenities at Windsor Outpost Camp is truly remarkable. Gas stove, coffee pot, toaster, generator strong enough to power everything, and an on demand water heater which worked great.

The aluminum boats were in good shape, had boat seats, and were equipped with 4 stroke Mercury 9.9 hp.

It didn’t take much exploring to land on the fish and start catching. Whether your after pike or walleye you will find an abundance of both. On the last day of our trip my father-in-law and I boated 129 walleyes!! Of those 129 only a handful were under 18 inches. The average size walleye in Windsor is incredible.

If you need a break from fishing and want to go explore there are many sandy beaches, which were great for swimming, and cool rock formations scattered all throughout Windsor lake.

Windsor Lake outpost exceeded my expectations and I truly believe it will yours as well! Thanks Gray Wood Outfitters for an amazing experience. Can’t wait to come back!

Wow what a trip! We had a group of 4 of us travel to Gray wood for a week long trip. Ivars our guide put us on fish and we caught them all week long. Very professional experience Would highly recommend trying Gray Wood Outfitters for your next trip!

Thanks again, Adam, Caroline, Ivars

Our group of 4 just returned from Lake Beteau. This was our first trip with Gray Wood Outfitters, and we'll definitely be back. The camp was excellent, and the fishing was even better. If you're looking for a trip of a lifetime, give Adam a call, and you won't be disappointed.

We got back from Beteau about a week ago. I have been doing this over 2 decades and this is the best outpost I have been to by far. Camp manager Ivars was outstanding and really made the trip. He was accommodating in every way, whether it was gassing up our boats, lake knowledge, bait selection, or general conversation. What an asset to Gray Wood Outfitters. The entire experience was top notch. The fishing was also good as expected.

Was an excellent well equipped camp, with world class Pike and Walleye fishing. My second Gray Wood experience, looking forward to more.

I have fished my entire life, mostly locally. I have gone on two long distance fishing trips previously but this was my first Fly-In fishing trip.

This is the farthest north I've ever fished. It's safe to say that the bar has been set incredibly high for any future fishing trips.

I want to commend Nakina Air Services for their excellent team and service. The flights were fantastic and made the overall experience even more enjoyable.

The fishing was simply unbelievable. After exploring the lake, the first few days we were successful in finding the best spots and understanding the fish's behavior. On the third day we started hammering the Walleye. With three boats and six guys, we caught over 1200 Walleye and 500 Pike in just one week.

The facilities were also impressive, as noted by the veteran fishermen in our group.

Thank you for providing such an incredible experience.

I have been using Outfitters for about 30 years to chase down BIG NORTHERS this year we chose to try out Gray Wood Outfitters. My son and I had two of the best days on the water we have ever experienced. One morning we caught 20 fish over 35 inches before 11:00 am. My son and I had 8 fish over 40 inches with the largest being 44.25, our group boated 17 over 40 inches for the week. It might be a few hours farther North than most Outfitters but it’s worth every minute. By mid-week my son said Dad it looks like we are done with all those other Outfitters, this place is legit…. Damian

Just returned from another amazing adventure with Gray Wood Outfitters at their camp on Blackbirch Lake. The fishing there is nothing short of amazing. Mark, Ray, Jim Valeriote and myself are still wore out from all of the fish. The pike and walleye fishing here is on the next level. Get in touch with Adam Wood or Andrew Gray to book a fishing trip of a lifetime with Gray Wood Outfitters. Here are a few reasons why we have already rebooked….

This was our first trip to Bateau Lake. It was a great experience. We have been to several outfitters in Canada. This trip was made awesome by THE best camp manager we ever experienced. Ivars made this trip great. As a bonus I caught a 43.5 inch pike and my husband caught a 30.5 walleye. The boats were well taken care off, engines ran smooth no problems. The lake was way higher than usual which made it a challenge to find the fish. But we had a good time in spite of that and caught a lot of fish.

what a GREAT experience our group had at Gray Wood Outfitters. The fishing was excellent, we ate lots of fish and still took home our limit. Camp was great, clean tidy, comfortable and well maintained. Our hosts were exceptional, Great sense of humour in all of them. fit right in with our crazy, awesome and amazing family. there service was much appreciated all around our group. The scenery was breath taking. I came out of there seeing 1st hand how rugged and beautiful this part of our province is. Any other adventure like this, will be measure against this trip for sure. I can't say Thank you enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you guys for a fun filled week of Hunting and Fishing. I must add their knowledge of the area was a HUGE advantage to our day on the water. Thanks again

It's an experience you won't forget. While some people might not want to travel the distance to Blackbirch Lake - the accommodations were the best we've ever had at an outpost. And, with their conservation policy, it means you'll be catching A LOT of fish. We were landing walleye 18+" and pike 30+" - with 3 caught over 40"! - at 1:00pm on a sunny afternoon. On an overcast, windy day the lake is still navigable and you'll want to be out there. And for a bit of adventure - you can always make a trip out to Mistassin or Portage Lakes. The Grey Wood outfitters have done the heavy lifting and were really helpful in making the most of the trip. We've been outposting for 45 years and will be back!

Spent 6 days at the Blackbirch Lake camp. We all had a great time fishing and caught more walleye and pike than we could count. Biggest pike was 42.5". The camp was well stocked with kitchen supplies, two fridges, stove/oven, on-demand hot water, generator and a wall mounted propane heater. All the boating supplies were there and worked well. The bunk beds were comfortable and the cabin was very clean. The sky and sunset views were great as well as one night of northern lights! Would definitely recommend!

Best cabin I've experienced in 18 fly in trips. Equipment is well maintained and works great. Fishing at Blackbirch was tremendous. Already booked for next year.

Great experience. Highly recommended.

Our group of 4 spent a week at Gray Wood blackbirch outpost. What an amazing trip, these guys really aim to please. Adam is a gem , helpful right from the first phone call. The cabin was clean and tidy and very well stocked. Best I’ve seen. The weather wasn’t the best ( rained 4 days) but didn’t stop us from getting out there. Landed hundreds of pike and walleye. Simply put these guys have one of the best fisheries around.
Thanks Adam and the rest of your team at gray wood. I’m sure we will be talking soon.

If you are into catching lots of fish these people can provide that for you! All dealings from start to finish was flawless! 100% recommended! Great outposting!

just spent a week at blackbirch with 3 other guys. conservative estimate of 800 walleye over the week...unbelievable fishery!! the walleye are all between 18 to 21inches..but we caught many over that with the biggest at 24.5 in. too many double headers in each boat to count!! lots of pike to..only one over 40 (41 in) but plenty in the mid 30's, and they are mixed in with the walleye ao you never know what you'll get. Mistassin and its creeks are loaded with fish. the portage lake had numerous big pike..but weeds were still down so was tough to figure out initially..but when you do you wont be disappointed! cabin was great, nothing better than hot shower at end of day. propane heat, stove and barbecue all worked great. Had shorelunch, bugs not bad at all during day,just early morn and dusk. 37 walleye caught off the dock doesnt get better than that!

just got back from a week of fishing at Windsor lake. Lots of fish caught lots of wildlife seen. Excellent camp everything worked great. Adam and the rest of graywood were very good to deal with. I would highly recommend graywood outfitters to anyone

I spent last week at Beteau Lake. The facilities were excellent and Andy, caretaker, was very helpful. The boats were fine and the motors run perfectly. I was by myself, so I didn't venture that far from the base camp. There were six other gentlemen from Canada at the camp. The caught several pike over 40" and many walleye over 25 inches.

Our group quite enjoyed our trip. The boats ran well with absolutely no issues. Everything in the Cabin functioned properly. We caught over 1100 fish in a week. Everyone had chance at large pike. We caught 4 at 39 inches and numerous others above 30 inches. One member caught a sturgeon at 46 in. Walleye were numerous averaging between 18-23 in.

Lots of animals seen, moose, bear, eagles.

Nakina Air flew us in and were very professional and easy to deal with.

Overall a fantastic trip, I would highly recommend Gray Wood Outfitters.

Exceptional fishing! Great people to deal with. Highly recommend.

great week the set up was good fishing started slow finishing great can't wait to get back

This was a trip of a lifetime with lifelong friends, and I don’t say this lightly. I have been coming up to the Attawapiskat River and surrounding camps for 10 years now. Adam and Andrew put in a ton of work at the camps. Clean and comfortable is an understatement. Beteau has everything you could want on a remote fly in, hot shower, internet, great equipment including new motors, generators and propane heaters in the cabins. Now let’s get to the fishing. Our group was at Beteau from May 21-28. Ice out was very late this year and we were greeted to record high water levels. The great thing about this river system is that there are lots of different options depending on the conditions. The main channel was extremely challenging with fast current, stained water and debris, but the nearby creeks were absolutely loaded with pike and walleye. It was non stop action with multiple low to mid 40” pike and hundreds of walleye. Just an incredible experience all around. Ivars was fantastic around camp making sure everything ran smoothly and everyone was taken care of. Not to mention he’s just a great guy all around and a pleasure to be in camp with! Thank you to Graywood Outfitters for an incredible trip. For anyone considering a trip here I can’t recommend this place enough. Adam and Andrew will make sure it will be a trip you will remember for the rest of your life!

Finally getting to post a review after our trip to Beteau Lake, last week and first I want to thank Adam, Andrew and Evars for a great time. While the record high water levels and weather made for some challenging fishing, the efforts of these three made our trip a success. Based on prior trips to the Attawapiskat River system of which Beteau is part, I had high expectations for this trip and while we didn't get any forty-inch pike we did manage three over thirty-eight, five thirty-seven plus and several over thirty-five. Given how fat river pike are, they were all quality fish ranging in weight from the low to upper teens. Walleye fishing improved as the week progressed with nearly three hundred boated. No ten's, which the river has produced for me in the past but lots of quality fish. The camp itself is very comfortable and improvements continue to be added. The wi-fi is a great addition and saves several hundred dollars that I often spend for a rental satellite phone and provides phone and internet service. I have been very fortunate to take many fly-ins over the years, this was number thirty-four and this is by far the best value that I am aware of. You have a reasonable shot at a forty- inch pike and walleye in the eight to ten pound range at a cost that is about half for comparable fishing. I am sure that it will only improve as these guys improve their camp and learn more about the waters they fish. I can't wait to get back, hopefully later this summer or fall and make this an annual trip.

windsor lake....walleye and pike...all around great trip. also had shower system

Guys at Gray Wood were awesome to deal with. We had lots of questions that were answered immediately.Amazing clean and comfortable accomodations. We had crazy high water and bad weather for most of the week and still managed to hit many pickerel and 4 pike over 40 inch. Windsor lake was incredible. Lifetime of memories in 1 week! Thanks again guys and look forward to next time!

When I die, I don't want to go to heaven. Instead, I want to go to the Attawapiskat River and stay at the Gray Wood Outfitters camp on Beteau lake!
We had an amazing time on our recent fishing trip in late May 2022. Adam/Andrew were extremely accommodating and easy to work with, the cabins were clean, boats and equipment were in good working order and everything went very smoothly for us. I also wanted to give a shout out/thanks to Ivars who took great care of us and the camp while we were there!
The beautiful scenery, sunsets and wildlife were eclipsed only by the amazing times our group spent on the water fishing. Despite extremely high water levels due to recent ice-out, we still managed to catch hundreds of walleye and several 40"+ trophy pike.
What a spot, and what a great team at Gray Wood!!! I'll be going back for sure!

By far the best outfitter I ever hunted with.
Camps are great ,hunting and fishing is excellent ,and the staff are exceptional, as they really work hard to make sure their guests have a amazing vacation.
If you are looking for a hunting or fishing trip you will remember forever I highly recommend Gray/Wood outfitting , you won’t be disappointed
I can’t wait to return
