Route Lake Camp

Fins to Feathers Outfitter is proud to partner with Nick Karakis, owner of Route Lake Camp, located about an hour north of Dryden, Ontario—where the fish are big, the scenery is incredible, and the wilderness is the real deal.

The Dryden area is well known for outstanding trophy fishing, including walleye, muskie, and northern pike, making it a bucket-list destination for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. 

The fishing at Route Lake Lodge in Northwest Ontario is nothing short of incredible. With more than 9,000 acres of water to explore, anglers have the opportunity to target trophy walleye, northern pike, lake trout, smallmouth bass, and perch in one of Canada's most pristine wilderness settings.

Route Lake offers an impressive combination of structure, changing depths, rocky shorelines, and natural habitat that consistently produces quality fish. Whether you're jigging for walleye, trolling deeper water for lake trout, or casting the shoreline for aggressive northern pike and smallmouth bass, there's always another spot—and potentially another trophy—waiting around the corner.

And if 9,000 acres isn't quite enough water for you, we've got you covered. Guests also have access to numerous surrounding remote lakes, offering the chance to explore new water and target different species. Your stay includes a complimentary day trip to one of these beautiful remote lakes, giving you another true Northwest Ontario fishing adventure.

For anglers looking for some local knowledge, professional guide service is also available with advance notice. Guides can help you locate fish, learn the lake, and make the most of your time on the water. 

At Route Lake Lodge, it's not just about catching fish. It's about big water, big fish, untouched wilderness, and the kind of fishing stories your buddies may or may not believe when you get home.
