Lake Information

Jeanette is a large, tannin-stained, tea colored lake which limits light penetration and helps to keep fish active and feeding all day long. The lake is part of the Sesikinaga River system, it is extremely rocky, and it has more than 22 miles of shoreline. Surrounded by boreal forest, situated in protected bay near outlet rapids. Walleye fishing can be done in fairly shallow water, and is easy with plentiful fish. The lake also has many weedy bays and channels for pike.

Reviews & Reputation

Review Highlights

Amik Outposts, a family-run fly-in fishing operation based out of Red Lake, Ontario, draws consistently strong praise from guests, many of whom return year after year. One guest has come back for 25 consecutive seasons. John and Rena run the operation. Guests repeatedly describe them as professional, responsive, and caring. One reviewer told of staff helping coordinate accommodations and an emergency evacuation after a medical incident, a level of personal attention that goes well beyond typical outfitter service. Guests overwhelmingly describe a trustworthy, well-organized outfit that treats guests like family.

Fishing is the centerpiece, and the numbers are big. Guests report catching large volumes of walleye and northern pike across multiple lakes including Cobham, Shearstone, Findlay, Blackbirch, and Vee Lake. One group landed 98 walleye over 20 inches and 90 pike over 27 inches in a single week, including a 43-inch pike. Another group caught over 140 walleye in a single day. Cabins are comfortable and adequately stocked, with supplies like nightcrawlers and spices already on hand. Boats are roomy, and logistics, including flight arrangements via a de Havilland Otter, are smooth and well-communicated. Guests single out Rena for thorough pre-trip communication covering gear lists, weight limits, and travel planning.

One forum post gave a 4-star rating rather than 5. This destination suits groups of fishing buddies or multi-generational families who prioritize high fish counts for walleye and pike, value a remote fly-in trip, and appreciate a hands-on, personally managed operation. Repeat visitors and first-time fly-in guests are both well served here.
