That would get a little dicey in winter (I have never done it). I would have to make arrangements with Brian King. He runs Kings landing in the summer, but the cabins are a little shall we say, um, well “rustic” would be a good word. I am sure Brian would rent us his house on the reservation or we could use his trailer down at the access point but we would probably need sleds to get down there and a good source of heat I dont think anyone plows the road down to the access (this would be the best option in my opinion), I know some guy’s he has done that for before. I would have to talk with him. Most of Nipigon is very limited in access, it is virtual all wilderness, no houses. The reservation is 2.5 hours north on Thunder Bay up 527 and right on the lake no towns near by. I also know a guy who just opened a resort hotel within 20 miles of the res but we would still need Brian for access to that part of the lake if he is open in winter. I have spent many family vacations up there and fishing trips with buddy’s so I am in pretty good with Brian plus he likes making money. Your only other options would be going up the east side of the lake. There is a town (Nipigon) on the lake over there and one resort way up in the northeast corner called Onaman resort that runs winter packages but I have zero knowledge of that part of the lake or the resort. There only about 6 access points on the entire lake so you are very limited, it would be tough getting in and out of the wilderness access points. Brians access is his, he has always taken good care of us and the people on the res respect him. One other thing with Nipigon regs: Only artificial lures allowed, no meat of any sort (I am guessing this is right up your ally)
