Canadian Fishing Lodge Our Testimonial Letters Hi AL, Its’ been several weeks now since my brother and I were at your lodge. I’ve been meaning to get a huge thank you off to you, Kim and the staff earlier but, as you might expect, life’s issues kept getting in the way. This was our first time at your camp, and quite frankly, we were somewhat hesitant about doing it, but upon our arrival we quickly realized what you articulate on your website and in your brochure is exactly what it is – thanks for your honesty. I want to tell you how appreciative we were of your genuine hospitality and the relaxed low-pressured and helpful way that you and your staff operate the camp. We’ve fished nearly a dozen different Canadian lodges and we can truly say that you have the best casual, easy going and friendliest atmosphere of them all. To many lodge owners entice you to come to their camp by emphasizing all the great things about their lodge and fishing. But when you get there you’re quickly disappointed in the camp with boat restrictions or other limitations and questionable fishing quality - At Cedar Lake Lodge this was definitely not the case. Our fishing experience was all that you said it would be. Beyond catching some pike and walleye we “figure eighted” several huge muskies, me losing a big fish and ending the trip with a smaller one. But the real story of the entire trip was my brother catching his first 50 plus incher. WOW! His excitement - an experience he’ll never forget. Nor will he let me forget. To sum-up, many things go into a successful fishing venture, but we feel that you, Kim, the staff and the entire Cedar Lake Lodge experience combined gave us one of or best fishing trips ever. Thanks for your part in making it happen. We’re already talking about and looking forward to returning in 2010.

Thank you for including us. We are seriously thinking we will come up late next summer. We will let you know as soon as we get our plans together. Thanks again! From: Cory Kazimour (bottom left) 2006 Todd Hoff 2006 My wife Kathy and I went to Cedar Lake Lodge in the middle of September 2005. What a beautiful time of year to visit. The leaves are turning and the fish are bitting! We enjoyed excellent walleye fishing, but the highlight for me are the muskies!
It was a Wednesday morning after a stormy night. We decided to sleep in thinking the fishing would be poor from the storms. After breakfast we loaded up the boat and headed out about noon to chase some muskies. We traveled only 3 minutes by boat to the fishing spot where we saw a few fish over the last couple of days. We had no idea what the afternoon would bring. On Kathy's second cast over the rock reef a 40 inch muskie was chasing the brown bucktail to the boat only to disappear into the deep water. It was 12:05 and the action had already started. By 2:30 that afternoon we had raised at least 10 fish to the boat. I knew it was just a matter of time. In all the excitement I found myself starring at a serious backlash. Little did I know what a good thing this turned out to be. It forced me to strip out all the line, reset the drag and tie on a new bait. I decided on a 8" jerk bait. On the first cast I watched the muskie in my hands follow the jerk bait and only 5 feet from the boat it decided to eat it! I watched him open his mouth and clamp his jaws down on the wooden bait. I set the hook and the battle was on! The fish went under the boat and gave me a shower from the turmoil of top water explosions going on from the other side of the boat. WOW what a thrill. 43" long and 19" girth. Way too much fun! Todd Hoff On another note: They are truly great hosts!
Thank you, Canadian Fishing Lodge |
