Brokenmouth Lake Outpost

KaBeeLo Lodge is a family-run fly-in fishing and hunting outfitter near Ear Falls, Ontario. It has operated since the early 1970s and has a strong reputation built over decades of repeat visitors. The overwhelming majority of reviews are highly positive, and guests frequently return year after year, some for 10, 20, 35, or even 40-plus years. The Lohn family (Harald, Ann, Erik, and Alysson) and their staff are a standout strength of the operation. Guests describe them as warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making each trip successful. The lodge offers both base camp stays and fly-out outpost cabin trips, with turbine seaplanes providing transport to remote lakes. Multiple reviewers note the operation runs smoothly and feels well-organized from the planning stage through departure.

Guests consistently praise the fishing, particularly for walleye and northern pike, and commonly report catch counts of 50 to 100 fish per day at outpost lakes. Guests also highlight lake trout fishing at certain locations. The outpost cabins receive strong marks for comfort. Hot showers, solar-powered refrigeration, bug-proof construction, and well-stocked kitchens are regularly mentioned. Food at the main lodge, including fresh-baked bread and homemade desserts, draws specific praise. Guests taking the outpost option note that cabins are typically stocked with food provisions, though a few reviewers say the quantities can run light for large or hungry groups, and one guest said food was not included for an add-on day they had paid for. Several reviewers suggest bringing extras like butter, cream, or additional food if needed.

One negative review describes a moose hunt in September 2018. The guest reported serious concerns: inadequate food provisions, a guide who engaged in unsafe and potentially illegal practices, and a dispute over a promised refund that was never honored. This review stands apart from the otherwise uniformly positive feedback. No other reviewers raise safety or guiding concerns, and the complaints about food quantity in other reviews are minor by comparison. KaBeeLo is best suited for groups of fishing buddies, couples, and families, including those with young children or less experienced anglers, who want a comfortable, well-supported remote fly-in trip focused primarily on walleye and northern pike. It is also a reasonable choice for first-time fly-in guests given the organized logistics and hands-on staff. Those booking hunting packages, particularly guided hunts, may want to ask detailed questions about guide qualifications and what is included before committing.
