Fly-in Walleye Fishing

Beteau Lake, part of the Attawapiskat River, sits about 35 miles downstream from Attawapiskat Lake. Known for its incredible Walleye fishing, it ranks among Ontario’s top destinations. Its remote location and low fishing pressure make it a hidden gem. Unlike other camps 60 miles to the south, Beteau Lake offers a quiet, untouched fishing experience. Plus, with Ontario’s fishing regulations and our catch-and-release policy, the Walleye population stays strong, giving anglers plenty of opportunities to reel in big fish.

Weather plays a key role in fishing success. On most days, you can expect to catch 20–50 Walleyes. However, when conditions are cloudy, rainy, or windy, the fish become more active, and catches can climb to 50–75. Some skilled anglers even hook up to 100 in a single day! If you’re new to Walleye fishing, don’t worry—we provide easy techniques and guidance to help you succeed. Most Walleyes here weigh between 2–4 pounds, though 5-pounders are common, and some lucky anglers land 10-pound giants. The largest catch recorded? A massive 14-pound, 32.5-inch Walleye. Thanks to our catch-and-release policy, those trophy fish are still out there waiting for the next lucky angler.

In spring, Walleyes stay in shallow waters, just 2–3 feet deep. As summer approaches, smaller ones (2–3 pounds) move slightly deeper, settling around 3–5 feet. Meanwhile, larger females stay in 8–12 feet of water during the day but come into the shallows in the evening. The best fishing spots include river bends with currents, rocky points, and deep weed beds where Walleyes avoid pike. Targeting these areas will give you the best chance for a great catch.

Windsor Lake is one of the best places for Walleye fishing, offering both trophy-sized fish and high catch rates. With three large, connected lakes spanning over 20 miles, anglers have endless opportunities to reel in Walleyes. The lake’s rich waters make it a top choice for both beginners and experienced fishermen.

For those looking to explore further, narrow channels with steady currents lead to remote, less-fished lakes. These hidden spots offer even more chances to land big Walleyes in a quiet, untouched setting. Whether you prefer fishing in open waters or venturing into secluded areas, Windsor Lake guarantees an unforgettable experience. No matter where you cast your line, the action is nonstop, making every trip one to remember.

For anglers craving non-stop Walleye fishing, Richter Lake is the ultimate destination. Not only is the lake easy to fish, but its average depth of 10 feet—with a few deeper spots reaching 20 feet—makes it accessible for all skill levels. The rugged Canadian Shield shoreline adds character, while the sandy bottom, dotted with large beds of Musky Cabbage and Pickerel Grass, creates the perfect habitat for Walleyes. As a result, Richter Lake has quickly earned a reputation as one of Ontario’s top spots for high catch numbers.

When it comes to daily catches, the numbers are impressive. On an average day, anglers can expect to reel in around 100 Walleyes. However, on exceptional days, that number can soar to 150. In fact, some lucky anglers stumble upon hotspots where it feels like they’re landing a Walleye with every cast. While most fish weigh between 1.5 to 3 pounds, catches in the 5-pound range are common, and it’s not unusual to hook a Walleye over 25 inches.

Moreover, Richter Lake is perfect for anyone looking for constant action. Whether you’re an experienced angler, a family with kids, or someone new to Walleye fishing, the abundance of fish makes it easy and exciting. It’s not unheard of for groups of six to catch over 2,000 Walleyes in a single week, with average sizes ranging from 18 to 22 inches. So, if you’re searching for an action-packed fishing adventure, Richter Lake is the place to be!
