Lake Information

Lac Seul spans nearly 150 miles and is composed of many bays, peninsulas, streams, inlets and hundreds of islands. It is a large and relatively shallow waterbody, with an average depth of only 23 feet, offering world-class walleye, pike and smallmouth bass fishing. Internationally known for trophy walleye and northern pike. No portages required. The lake hosts numerous resorts and private cabins, resulting in significant fishing pressure compared to most fly-in lakes. The amount of pressure varies considerably depending on location.

Fishing Pressure

Significant - this large and productive lake hosts numerous resorts, cabins, and boat launches concentrated along the West and South sides of the lake. While you are likely to encounter other anglers on this lake, there is adequate space to find a secluded fishing spot, and the lake regularly produces both quantity and quality of fish.

Review Highlights

Kayair Service and Outposts, based at Lake Lac Seul in Ontario, has a loyal following among repeat customers. Reviewers return year after year, in one case for ten consecutive years. Guests describe the operation as well-run, personable, and worth the return trip, and reviews are highly positive across the board. Reviewers single out Peter Kay and his family (including Karen) for their attentiveness and professionalism. In one search-and-rescue situation, Peter located stranded anglers by air within minutes of arriving on scene. The outposts are rustic but functional, with solar-powered electricity, propane hot water and cooking, and lake-sourced running water. They are comfortable enough for a week-long stay. The bathroom is an outdoor privy, not an indoor toilet.

Guests report big catches of walleye, pike, and lake trout on outpost lakes like Birch Lake. One group of five anglers landed over 900 walleye and pike in a single week, and called that a below-average year by their own standards. The boats are heavy-duty 14.5-foot Alumarine craft with 15hp Yamaha motors, well suited to Canadian fishing conditions. Birch Lake is a favorite among guests who have sampled multiple outposts in the Kay Air network.

Guests raise no recurring complaints and stay satisfied across multiple visits. The one thing to be ready for is the rustic outpost setup, including the outdoor toilet, which is fairly standard for remote fly-in camps in Ontario. The camp is best suited to groups of fishing buddies, particularly walleye and pike anglers, who are comfortable with a self-sufficient, back-to-basics setup and put fish counts and remote access ahead of resort-style amenities.

Exploring Giant Muskies at Slate Falls Outposts on Lac Seul

Fishing alongside James Lindner at Slate Falls Outposts on Lac Seul showed why the place has a legendary reputation among hardcore muskie anglers. Shallow rock flats and weed beds in back bays gave endless opportunities at giant fish, and a giant topwater muskie came right away.
