Review Highlights

Crow Lake Outfitters gets strong positive feedback from guests. Guests name the owners, Todd and Tanis, as a highlight, and the personal, owner-operated feel is a big part of what they appreciate. Guests are enthusiastic and willing to recommend the operation to others.

Guests praise the flight in, the fishing, the service, and the accommodations, so this is a well-rounded operation rather than one that excels in a single area. Reviewers mention Todd and Tanis directly, which points to attentive, hands-on hospitality.

Ontario's Loonhaunt Lake delivers memorable fishing adventure for first-time visitors

Booked the trip through Northwest Flying Inc., a floatplane service in Nestor Falls, Ontario, about a 4.5-hour drive from Grand Forks. Northwest Flying has outpost camps on five lakes, all within a short flight of Nestor Falls, but Loonhaunt Lake is their most popular. Solar electricity powers the outpost cabin on Loonhaunt Lake. Lake trout fishing was a priority in booking the trip. Despite challenging walleye fishing, the bass – both smallmouth and largemouth – and lake trout action made up for it. Using Buzz Bomb jigging lures, good numbers of hard-fighting lake trout were caught in 60 to 70 feet of water within a short boat ride of the cabin. The bass, it seemed, were everywhere, and the largemouth action encountered at times ranks among the best experienced. The lake trout fishing was a hit – most of the lakers were in the 5- to 8-pound range and the ones kept were fantastic on the grill.

Great week in the outdoors fishing and exploring

We had a great week of fishing at their outpost cabin on Loonhaunt Lake. Beautiful Cabin, excellent fishing and excellent boats for fishing out of. Shane is an excellent host and made sure we had a great time.
