Cat Island Lodge offers a fly-in fishing experience that’s simple by design and unforgettable by nature. Tucked deep in Northern Ontario’s wilderness, our island lodge is accessible only by floatplane and surrounded by clean water, quiet shorelines, and some of the most consistent fishing in the region.

From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of — comfortable lakeside cabins, hearty American Plan meals, boats and equipment, and days shaped by fishing, fresh air, and time together. It’s the kind of all-inclusive fishing trip that feels remote without feeling complicated.

  • "My wife and I have been on several dozen fishing trips all over North and Central America...Cat Island Lodge was definitely one of the most enjoyable places we've been. The fishing was off the chart crazy...in three days we caught close to 600 fish...we left Cat Island Lodge with newly found friends and a longing to return as soon as possible."

    Dug & Penny Nuffer

  • "Our trip to Cat Island Lodge was beyond anything we expected. From the moment we arrived, Clayson greeted us with a warm welcome and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. The fishing was phenomenal, and our guide, Gordon, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a joy to spend time with. The shore lunches were an absolute highlight — fresh fish prepared to perfection right on the water. Sheila truly outdid herself with delicious meals every day, and the accommodations far exceeded what you'd expect from a fishing lodge. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish."
