In 1939 as a part of Canada's contribution to the war effort it was decided that to produce more electricity for industry it would be necessary to divert part of the northerly flow of the Ogoki south to control the water levels on lake Nipigon. In doing so there would be a more reliable water supply for the dams on the Nipigon River. It was quite the effort but three years later in 1942 they closed the gates and the rest is - as they say - history. When you fly in it is still possible to see some of the remnants of horse trails built in the 30's.

Over 40 miles end to end, we now have this magnificent 60,000 plus acre sportsman's waterway. Where the Ogoki Reservoir meets Mojikit Lake is the sheltered Mojikit Channel. What was a fall of 20 feet is now the fast water that flows past our two beautiful camps. Relax. We are talking current that walleye love not white water.

As for the fishing; Big walleye is probably the best way to describe it. Folks are generally absolutely delighted at the size of the walleye, and for the Pike hunters 30 inch plus is the starting point.

This is the original Channel camp just around the corner (1/3 mile) from the south camp. But, it looks nothing like the original. The cabin has been doubled in size. From the trademark Orange steel roof it has been modernized and has everything the South camp has except it is a little smaller. This camp is nestled in the tall jack pines and has an impressive view of Ogoki Reservoir. This area is home to one of the largest herds of the protected Woodland caribou. (Not to be confused with barren ground caribou) Don't be surprised if a couple swim in front of you. And the fishing? We don't call Mojikit Channel the fish factory for no reason. The walleye fishing is nothing short of spectacular and the northern pike are very well fed, if you know what I mean.

This camp comfortably accommodates eight. There a four 16' deluxe Lunds. with 15 hp 4 stroke outboards.

South

The South camp was newly constructed in 2001. Big, impressive and well thought out is the best way to describe this structure. From the 15 foot cathedral ceilings to the stand up bar we designed the camp with the big group in mind. New oversized chest freezer .. two refrigerators .. 2 futons .. two six foot dinning tables and a Motorola radio-phone. The lights are solar as is the water system. Enjoy cocktails - bug free - in the screened in porch. A picture is worth a thousand words. The wilderness bar has been raised.

We use deluxe 16' Lunds with 15 hp 4 stroke outboards and there are 4 of them.

Testimonials

The Ogoki River has awesome Speckled Trout fishing. Why is there nothing on their web site about Brookies?

My best Friend Greg Loten is a bush pilot like his dad, Stu. Stu use to own outpost camps north of Nakina and Armstrong. In the spring we flew into Mojikit Lake to drop off propane, gas tanks and motors and get everything cleaned up and running. He had an outpost in the channel between the main lake and a lodge. While we were working the fog came in and we were stuck there for 2 days and did not have any fishing equipment. We needed to eat.

I found a dirty old jig covered with grease under the motor shed. I found an old broom stick under the cabin and we used a clothes-line as fishing line. I rowed the boat out about 20 feet off the dock and every time the jig hit the water, I had a walleye on. The problem is the walleyes were all too big. With no fishing rod bending to absorb force, the jig kept bending out.  It took about 15 or 20 minutes to bring in 10 small walleyes. So we ate walleye for 2 days That's what the fishing is like up there.
