The Best Fishing in the Country

(888) 234-8882

Our Conservation Pledge

1) We will restrict fishing pressure on individual lakes and never over-book a camp.
2) We will control the harvest of fish on every lake.
3) We have over 50 lakes and we will construct new camps every year on new lakes that have not been used in order to spread out fishing pressure.
4) Guests who abuse the fishery will not be allowed to return.
5) We will provide conservation tackle and educational materials.
6) We will never sacrifice the quality of our fisheries for financial gain.

   Canada's James Bay Lowlands consist of over 10,000 square miles of wilderness. The Cochrane District is renowned for over 400 lakes and rivers. You will fish for the mighty Northern Pike, the delicious Walleye, tricky Speckled Trout, tons of perch, wiley Whitefish and massive Sturgeon. Our lakes are teeming with hundreds of fish that only a fly-in can provide.Here's what the experts say.

Through careful management, conservation limits and rotating lakes, Kesagami Fly-in Outposts / Air Cochrane CAS Ltd. is committed to providing you with a quality fishing vacation. We do recommend you release the trophy fish and have fiberglass mounts made as a reminder of your big catch.

WALLEYE

Most lakes have both Walleye & Northern Pike. Perhaps the tastiest fish in our waters, average size for Walleye is 1.5-2lbs. Numerous and fiesty, this species is a treat for all anglers. Bucktail jigs work well for Walleye

NORTHERN PIKE

The main sport fish in Northern Ontario is the veracious Northern Pike. Pike favour spoons (red & white daredevils and silver minnows) and casting into weed beds can produce lunkers up to 20lbs. Found in abundance in our lakes, we have the best pike producing area in Canada

BROOK TROUT

Found in the rivers and streams in our area CASL has outposts which access these rivers for speckled trout. Best time for trout is July, Aug & Sept. when you can catch trout up to 8, 20 and 22 inches. See link below for more info on brook trout fishing and our conservation policies.

Fishing Policy

Kesagami Fly-In OutpostslCochrane Air Services feels a great responsibility for the protection of our precious fishing resources. In order to guarantee top quality remote wilderness fishing for the future we have instituted a catch and consume policy for walleye and a total release policy for pike. It is with the cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources that we have implemented this progressive catch and release conservation policy.

No pike or brook trout of any size may be kept. No walleye (over 18") may be kept. Only two walleye (up to 18") may be taken each day and only for immediate consumption (i.e. shore lunch or camp). No fish may be taken home. Single barbless hooks are strongly recommended for your personal safety and the protection of the fish and we will gladly offer, free of charge, the hooks and split rings to convert your tackle.

The fish found in these waters take time to grow to such great proportions because of the sub-Arctic climate. For example, the trophy pike that are regularly caught may range in age from 15 to 30 years. An 18" walleye might be 20 years old. Walleyes in this remote wilderness area don't often breed until they are seven years old and even the average walleye eaten at shore lunch can be 10 years old. For our conservation policy to be truly successful, we depend on an educated angler who not only uses the correct tackle, but who also shows consideration in the safe landing, handling and releasing of these fish.

We thank you for showing respect and consideration for this wilderness fishery. We can all work together to preserve these fish for many years to come.
