What could be better after a fine day of a Canadian fishing trip than relaxing in comfort in a great lakeside cabin? Our cabins vary from two-person models up to eight person cabins. They have kitchens, bathrooms with showers, propane kitchen stoves with ovens, electric refrigerators and 24-hour electricity from the camp’s own generator. We provide all pots and pans, towels, blankets and bed linens as well as charcoal barbecues (and charcoal) and outdoor propane fish cookers. It is just a short walk from any of the cabins to the centrally located lodge and dining room.

The cabins are kept cozy in cool weather with woodburning stoves. Beds are twin (single) size but can be made into kingsize for couples. Screened porches with great views of the lake and its large population of loons and bald eagles are great places to sit on a summer evening.


It takes a unique combination of factors for a lake to produce large quantities of really big walleyes and northern pike and Red Lake, Ontario, has it in spades. This productive lake is 30 miles in length and about five miles in width at its widest. The lake is teeming with minnows, perch, smelt, ciscoes and suckers - all food for those tackle-busting trophies that you expect on a Canadian fishing trip. Anglers here catch many walleyes 28 inches and larger and many northern pike 40-48 inches. And they also catch lake trout, whitefish and ling or burbot.

Bow Narrows Camp is located in the fishiest area of the entire lake system. Shallow bays, deep bays, winding narrows, islands and rapids are just a short boat ride away from the camp. Fishing guides are just unnecessary here. Our camp staff will mark an excellent fishing map for you showing where to fish and pass along other tips such as time of day, proper lure colors, etc. Finally, we clean your fish for you back at camp and remove ALL the bones from northern pike which are every bit as delicious as walleyes.
