Review Highlights

Winoga Lodge is operated by the Mansfield family (Dick and son Troy) out of Sioux Lookout and Sioux Narrows in Northern Ontario. Guests give it consistently strong praise, with real enthusiasm for the lodge, the owners, and the stay, and no notable complaints. The Mansfields are hands-on operators who are deeply involved in guiding and hosting. Dick fishes around 160 days a year, and both he and Troy personally guide clients on the ice and in the field.

Guests highlight several standout qualities: well-appointed, spacious accommodations (including cedar log cabins that sleep up to 10, with full kitchens, hot water, and wood stoves), excellent fishing for walleye, pike, and whitefish with fast action on both open water and ice, and warm, personable hospitality from the Mansfield family and their guides. The remote fly-in camps are recently built and surprisingly comfortable, with solar power and satellite internet. Guests also single out the food, particularly a shore-style fish fry of walleye, pike, and whitefish straight from the fryer.

Winoga Lodge is best suited for anglers focused on walleye and pike, whether in summer or the winter ice-fishing season, as well as hunters pursuing moose in Northern Ontario. It suits groups of friends or small parties who want comfortable, well-equipped remote accommodations without losing the wilderness feel.

Remote Shoreline Moose Hunting with Winoga Lodge

Moose season is always an exciting time of year, and hunting within the vast, beautiful landscape of Northern Ontario always makes the experience special. These feelings rang true for me this year after I was fortunate enough to draw a resident tag for Ontario moose way up north in an area that Winoga Lodge and co-owner Troy Mansfield operate out of. The morning brought with it a small drizzle, but all was still on track for our flight into one of Winoga Lodges' remote camps. A short twenty-minute flight later, across a vast landscape of lakes and forests, we arrived at one of Winoga Lodge's remote camps and were greeted by Troy and fishing guide, Greg Attard. Although we were here filming an episode for Canada in the Rough, this remote lodge was anything but rough. Recently built, the lodge had a fully operational kitchen and bathroom, 3 bedrooms able to house up to 10 guests, and a vast living space for gatherings all powered by both solar panels and a generator. There is even satellite internet available to help you stay connected to friends and family! I was truly impressed by this facility offering so many comforts of home despite being so remote. We took advantage of the opportunity to squeeze in some walleye fishing between the morning and afternoon hunts. Greg had never fished the lake before but it only took about ten minutes to find them and once we did, the action was nearly non-stop until we had our limit. I truly had mixed emotions as we arrived back at the plane base in Sioux Narrows the next day. I had nearly 600 pounds of incredible moose meat coming home with me so I knew I needed to get home fast but it was hard to leave the great people and experience that Winoga Lodge has to offer. It was a treat to spend the week with Troy and Greg and I can't thank them enough for sharing the experience together. I was sad to leave but with great memories and bounty, I began the drive back home with a smile on my face. Northern Ontario truly is a special place to hunt, and if you're looking to experience, for yourself, the great moose hunting it has to offer, be sure to reach out to Troy and Winoga Lodge!
