Lakes

Every fisherman is different and so is every body of water. With six diverse locations to choose from, whether your taste runs from giant pike to teeming walleye holes or fishing deep for lake trout, we are confident we can put you on a water system that will suit your preferences. Give us a call if you would like to discuss which location may be the perfect fit for you.

 

Barnett Lake

Journey 65 miles north of our float plane base in Flin Flon to beautiful Barnett Lake. Your dream of adventure fishing takes a wilder turn when you reach this 7-mile long, 70 foot deep tea-colored body of water, fed by a creek in its south east corner and home to phenomenal walleye and pike. This remote lake absolutely jumps with pike in the 30” to 40” size range, and it’s not uncommon to boat one upwards of 45”. World class walleye fishing is Barnett’s rule-of- thumb, though, with groups catching up to 18 trophy sized (over 28”) walleye in one week, and lake records shooting upwards of 35”. Easier access to the dock due to recent renovations. If you dream big, Barnett Lake’s for you!

Cairns Lake

You’ll love it. Everybody does. Cairns is one of the most picturesque lakes in Canada, situated 60 miles north of our float base and 40 miles from the nearest road and surrounded by 400’ hills. Your 2-bedroom cabin is nestled on a beautiful sand beach that just happens to be a hot bed for midsummer walleye fishing. Ten miles from tip to tip and part of the Waysaykamik River system, this vibrant body of water boasts abundant quantities of lake trout and pike, as well as walleye, enough to keep the most rigorous fishers busy. Although the lake has an average depth of 30’ to 40’, the lake trout pull together in schools for the summer season in holes that punch down to 80’! One of our most popular outposts, Cairns Lake will become your annual tradition, as it has for many of our guests.

“We had a great time at Barnett Lake this year … What we really enjoy is the seclusion out there, great bonding time for our family… Everybody at Kississing did a great job, could not be better. Thanks for the great service.”— Tom Hansen (Barnett Lake Outpost)

The Big Island

Big dreams. Big water. Big fish. It’s not Hawaii, but life’s just as easy when you’re on your own on our one-of-a-kind Big Island. Only 2 miles from the main lodge on Kississing Lake, the fishing opportunities on the Big Island are limitless, with 500 square miles of lake, over 1,000 islands and more than 1,000 miles of shoreline. Yet you have your cozy camp’s proximity to the lodge with its many advantages. The close proximity to the lodge give you the opportunity to fabulous dining, expert guides, day fly-out options, and the chance to pick up additional supplies, PLUS… the Big Island’s the only camp we operate that has 24-hour electricity! While you’ll enjoy the challenge of fishing a big lake on your own, we highly recommend that you consider bringing along a handheld GPS to take the guess work out of map reading and all but eliminate your chances of getting lost. Then relax and enjoy what you came to do – experience a superb Canadian northern wilderness adventure and go after some serious fish!

Hassett Lake

Our newest outpost, Hassett was constructed of milled logs in 2002, with no expense spared making it an ideal haven for adventurers who want to put aside the walleye jigs and focus on the big guys for a week. The cabin sits in the southeast corner of the lake, in the epicenter of its best trout fishing. Two by three miles in size and 110' deep, Hassett’s spring-fed waters are so clear you can see the trout on your line, 10 feet down! And watch out for the giant pike cruising the shallows.

A quarter mile from the cabin lies Hassett’s sister lake, Guthrie. A 10-minute walk takes you to a fishery that couldn’t be more different. Guthrie’s shallow tea colored waters offer pike the same way Hassett offers trout – big in both numbers and size. It hardly matters what lure you use; daily catches of 100 fish or more are common. Guthrie is a pike factory not to be missed!

Hassett and Guthrie offer an irresistible combination of trout and pike fishing that will keep lines tight and have you crying “Fish on!” from sunup to sundown. And it’s just you and the fish!

Siers Lake

Located 60 miles north of our floatplane base in Flin Flon and 40 miles from the nearest road, Siers Lake puts the “wild” in wilderness. Our cabin on this popular outpost is the only structure on the 3 diverse lakes Siers opens up to you. With an average depth of 20’, Siers itself is a shallow tea hued body that sets the bar high time and again for excellent walleye fishing, both in numbers and size. Large pike are not uncommon either, making for added excitement when that massive jackfish decides to take a pass at your walleye jig. To the north lies Einarson Lake, 30’ deep and connected to Siers by a creek. Crystal clear, cold, and spring-fed, Einarson’s alive with lake trout and giant walleye. Past average trout size is 3 to 5 pounds, with several in the 20 to 30 pound range also recorded. Last of the trio is Bear Lake, accessible via a short portage off Siers’s southeast corner. With a structure and fish resembling those of Siers, Bear Lake offers walleye aplenty and ample large pike waiting to bend your pole and pull your drag. This is a triple threat fisher’s heaven!

Waskwei Lake

Situated in the heart of varied water systems, Waskwei provides access to all of the lakes in the surrounding area that together create the outdoorsman’s paradise of northern pike, walleye, and lake trout hotspots that truly represent Canada’s finest fishing. At eight miles long, four miles wide and with a maximum depth of 80’, Waskwei is unusually large for an outpost lake. Liberally dotted with islands and featuring varying depths, the lake has much to offer on its own and many of our guests choose to fish Waskwei exclusively.

Note: Kississing is not the only cabin on Waskwei Lake (it is shared with another outfitter).
