OGOKI

The Ogoki Reservoir is massive, covering more than 35,000 acres and stretching 35 miles in length. It was originally formed as a means to divert water flowing north and east to James Bay, south into Lake Nipigon for hydro generation on the Nipigon River. This construction took place during the 1930s and dams were closed in 1942, combining three lakes into one large body of water. Now, we use it for world-class fishing in a remote and peaceful part of nature.

The reservoir is best known for its above average sized walleye, ranging from three to four pounds, in large numbers. You’ll also find larger than usual northern pike, whitefish, and sturgeon. And, when you’re not reeling in a big catch, you can enjoy the quiet beauty of the remote wilderness setting.

Our camp on the Ogoki Reservoir is located on a 50 acre island, less than 5 minutes by boat from Eight Flume Falls, over which the Ogoki River enters the reservoir. We have five guest cabins spread out along the east and north shores of this island offering privacy for each group. In addition to the cabins there are 2 screened in fish cleaning houses, storage building with freezers for storing cubed ice flown in from the seaplane base, sauna and camp manager’s cabin.

Electricity to all buildings is supplied by a new 18 kw solar system that we installed late in 2023, eliminating the need to fly in fuel for the diesel power plants that previously electrified the camp. The diesel power plants are still on site as back up, however, they have not been needed since the solar system was installed. Also new to this camp is wifi supplied by a newly installed Starlink satellite internet system. As well as offering spectacular fishing, the Ogoki Reservoir offers some of the best opportunities to view our abundant wildlife. Guests can anticipate seeing moose, woodland caribou, black bears, timber wolves, bald eagles, osprey and the many fur bearing animals that live in the boreal forest. This camp is suitable for groups of 1 to 30 for any number of days.
