Chappa Lake i-Fred Lake Passage

Billy with fly-in fishing guests Darlene and Pete docking at Chappa Lake.
Billy signals a farewell goodbye and heads off back to the base. He'll fly back in for a mid-week check up on the isolated anglers.

Darlene hooks into some nice walleye.

Here is the rugged but fully-equipped outpost cabin that accomodated this pair.

Inside the cabin after a real good scrubbing. Thanks by the way.

These folks came prepared to battle the night mosquitoes that have found their way in.

Here is the beginning of the passage that leads to i-fred Lake.

The weather changes often in the frontier but always provides nice views.

Pete relaxes by a smoldering camp fire at the camp.

Beaver Helps Fly in Fishermen For Us

The air base is bustling like crazy today with countless eager anglers waiting to get their chance at one of our trophy pike and walleye lakes. I managed to get out of the office long enough to take a snapshot of this fine float plane loading up passengers and gear.

Excessively strong winds yesterday made it impossible for us to get into Bill's Lake to fly-out the group of fishermen that were stranded an extra night. In order to make all our flights today we had to ask our friend Ron Baron to help us fly-out some of our guests.

We help each other out here in the James Bay frontier, it's like an unwritten rule amongst the pilots of the area.

Here's a picture of the Beaver float plane that took our fly-in fishing customers to their secluded honey holes today. By the look of the sunken floats, I can tell that this fishing party has perhaps a couple of cases of pop too many.

Thanks again Ron!

Abitibi River Marriage

It's official. Bryan and Katie have set a date for their wedding. Smack dab in the middle of the fishing season. This happy pair of northerns will tie the knot on July 7th 2007 somewhere on the Abitibi River.

Congrats to both of you from all of us here at Polar Bear Outfitters. It's about time!

Maybe now Bryan will be able to concentarte more on his work, just kiddin' bud you work hard for our fly-in guests and we all apreciate it.
So when you get here from where you are to do your fine walleye and pike fishing with us, don't forget to congratulate him when you see him on the dock getting your plane ready (he's the guy weighing in your beer).

Fly-In Fishing Outpost Camps

Fully Equipped Fly-In Fishing Outpost Camps

All of our fly-in outpost camps are fully equipped for light housekeeping. Pots and pans, dishes, propane fridges, stoves, B.B.Q. and Coleman lanterns are all at our guests disposal. Each camp has its own perculating coffee pot for those crispy James Bay morning wake-ups. All flyin camps come with two working boats and motors. Most outpost camps have water pumps.
Here is a picture of a kitchen area. Cook yourselves walleye fillets after your day fishing in our remote, fly-in acess only lakes.

Desperate Determined Pike Stalkers

It is the first Saturday of the fishing season. Snow, ice pellets and freezing rain has grounded us from flying. By two o'clock this afternoon we are expecting 15 centimeters of snow to fall on these parts of the James Bay frontier.

But Chris and Steve Flack are desperate and determined pike stalkers. They quickly help load their gear unto the plane. Off they go from the float plane dock and into the mists hovering above Lillabelle Lake.

We can see from the air base office that they are hammering the northerns left and right. This is the spirit of the true north fishing experience. They may be crazy but man can they fish.

Walleye Fishing Secrets

Chappa Lake Sunset - Walleye Fishing Heaven

What is His Walleye Fishing Secret

"We were at Twin lake this September. Just wanted to say that our trip was awsome and the fishing was even better."

OK. We believe you of course but this has got to be a picture of the smallest walleye we have ever seen. We cannot imagine how Sam caught this one but we won't ask for his secret walleye fishing tricks.

Fisherman Mike Catches Trophies

Mike Stemler has been fishing with us for about 18 years now. He is always catching and chasing our trophy fish. Here is a picture of him with a 49 1/2 inch northern pike. We hope you have a great fishing trip with us this season.

Mike and Theresa were married this year and he sent us this great picture from the Carolinas of him and his latest trophy.

Congratulations to both of you and we wish you both a happy life together.

2007 First Flyin Fishing Team

Here are our first fly-in fishing guests for 2007

Our first flyin fishing team has just left the water and are in the air towards Bill's Lake. They are going to have a blast nailing hungry walleye after walleye. Fish your hearts out guys!

Wow! 400 hundred pound overload on beer. Happy fishing trip.

Another Canada Fishing Season Begins

Our first fly-in fishing guests arrive on Thursday. The fishing season in this part of northern Ontario Canada begins on Friday.

We are busy like crazy getting all the camps ready and are just as excited as our fisherman are to get those walleye and northerns on hook. The plane and the camps are in tiptop shape.

We hope everyone has even more fun than last year and has the northern Ontario Canada dream fishing vacation of their lives.

See you all when you get here! The juicy walleye, the monster northern pike and the untamed James Bay frontier await you.

Billy and his crew
