Yes, we are remote. Because this is where the fish are.

They say getting there is half the fun – and that’s certainly true when it comes to making your trip to Esnagami Lodge. Fly to Thunder Bay, Ontario from most major U.S. and Canadian cities, then rent a car, hire a taxi or take a local flight to our base and Nakina. Or make it a real adventure and drive the entire way.

The guide below gives rough driving times from Toronto, Ontario, as well points in the northern U.S.. Enjoy the peaceful drive through pristine Canadian wilderness – and with every mile that you head further north, know that you’re getting closer to some of the best fishing this continent has to offer.

After you arrive in Nakina, Ontario, you’ll board a floatplane that departs from the air base on Cordingly Lake, just north of town. Then enjoy the short 15-minute flight to the Main Lodge on Esnagami Lake, where your adventure truly begins.
