If you're looking for the kind of Pike fishing that gets your heart racing, this fly-in adventure to Beteau and Windsor Lakes is exactly what you need. Located on the pristine Attawapiskat River system in remote northern Ontario, these waters are home to some of the most aggressive, thick-bodied Pike you'll find anywhere. We're talking fish that regularly push 40 inches, with trophy specimens hitting that magical 50-inch mark. The best part? These lakes see almost zero fishing pressure, which means the Pike are fat, healthy, and ready to fight. Your group of 4 will have exclusive access to miles of untouched water, with comfortable cabin lodging and everything you need for a world-class Pike experience.
Your adventure starts with a scenic flight from Nakina, giving you a bird's-eye view of the vast wilderness you're about to fish. Once you touch down, you'll be set up in a comfortable cabin that serves as your home base for the trip. Each pair of anglers gets their own boat and motor, plus all the fuel you'll need to explore every bay, weedline, and drop-off these lakes have to offer. The spring-fed currents keep the water clean and oxygenated, creating the perfect environment for Pike to grow big and stay active. You'll spend your days casting along structure-rich shorelines, working through cabbage beds, and targeting the deeper holes where the real monsters like to hang out. The remote location means you can fish all day without seeing another angler, giving you that true wilderness experience that's getting harder to find.
These Attawapiskat system Pike respond well to aggressive presentations, so bring your confidence lures. Large spoons, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits are top producers, especially when you're working the weedlines and structure. The clear water means you can sight-fish some of the bigger Pike, which adds a whole new level of excitement to your day. Trolling with large plugs is deadly effective for covering water and locating active schools, particularly during the early morning and evening hours. The river influence creates current breaks and eddies that hold baitfish, making these spots prime real estate for hungry Pike. Don't be afraid to throw big baits – these fish have grown large by eating substantial meals, and a 10-inch lure won't intimidate them. The key is varying your retrieve speeds and working different depths until you dial in what they want on any given day.
Northern Pike are the undisputed kings of these waters, and for good reason. These aren't your average lake Pike – the river system creates a unique environment that produces incredibly thick, powerful fish. Most Pike here range from 36 to 42 inches, with plenty of fish pushing into that trophy 45+ inch category. The spring-fed currents and abundant forage base mean these Pike are in prime condition, with broad shoulders and the kind of fight that'll test your tackle. Peak activity happens during the cooler parts of the day, but these fish will hit throughout the afternoon if you're persistent. What makes catching Pike here so special is their pristine condition – bright colors, perfect fins, and that raw power that only comes from fish living in untouched water. The Walleye fishing provides a nice change of pace when you want to target something different. These fish average 16 to 20 inches and provide excellent table fare after a long day of Pike fishing. They tend to hold in the deeper areas and transition zones, making them perfect targets during the midday hours when Pike activity slows down.
This isn't the kind of fishing trip you'll find just anywhere. The combination of fly-in access, trophy Pike potential, and true wilderness setting makes this a customer favorite among serious anglers. With boats, motors, fuel, and comfortable lodging all included, you can focus on what matters most – putting your lures in front of fish that have never seen fishing pressure. The 4-angler capacity keeps the experience intimate and ensures everyone gets plenty of prime fishing time. These remote northern Ontario waters represent some of the best Pike fishing you'll find anywhere, and with minimal angling pressure, the fish populations stay strong year after year. Whether you're chasing your personal best Pike or just want to experience what fishing was like before the crowds found it, this fly-in adventure delivers the goods.

Esox LuciusPike in these remote waters are what dreams are made of - regularly hitting 40+ inches with some pushing 50. These aggressive predators are built like torpedoes with razor-sharp teeth and an attitude to match. They love ambushing prey from weed beds, rocky drop-offs, and current breaks where baitfish gather. Summer fishing is fantastic when they're active in 5-15 feet around structure. What makes pike special is that explosive strike and the fight that follows - they'll jump, run, and thrash like nothing else. The remote location means these fish have had years to grow fat and strong. Here's the key: use big spoons or spinnerbaits and don't be afraid to work them fast. When a pike hits, don't set the hook right away - let them turn the bait before you drive it home. Those teeth are no joke, so bring a good net and pliers.
Sander VitreusWalleye are one of the best-eating fish in these northern waters, with that mild, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. They typically run 14-20 inches up here, though we see plenty of bigger ones thanks to the light fishing pressure. These golden-colored fish have those signature glowing eyes that help them hunt in low light. They stick to rocky points, sand flats, and weed edges in 8-25 feet of water during the day, then move shallow to feed at dusk and dawn. Early summer and fall are prime times when they're most active. The fight isn't flashy, but they're crafty - expect some head shakes and runs toward structure. My tip: use a slow, steady retrieve with jigs tipped with minnows or leeches, and work them right along the bottom. They'll often hit softly, so stay alert for that subtle tick on your line.
