Why Choose Pine Cliff Lodge As Your Ontario Fishing Lodge?

We will explain why you should choose our Ontario fishing lodge over all the other outfitters.  The reasons hundreds of our guests choose our Ontario fishing lodge may make your choice easier.

You want to catch fish while northern pike fishing and smallmouth bass fishing.  This may seem obvious, but many fishermen handicap themselves by starting their adventure by choosing an over-fished lake.  The more remote and the least pressured a lake is; the better the northern pike fishing or the smallmouth bass fishing.  Sandybeach Lake is one of the most remote drive-to- lakes in Ontario, Canada.  Some Ontario fishing lodges state they are the only lodge on the lake, but they have public boat ramps and private cabins that provide heavy fishing pressure on their lake. 

On Sandybeach Lake, there is one private cabin that may have a boat on the lake and about 25 fishermen at our lodge.  Our Ontario fishing lodge provides the remoteness you thought was only available by flying into a remote lake.  Do not travel all the way to an Ontario fishing lodge to miss out on the world-class fishing a remote location can provide.  Choose an Ontario fishing lodge like Pine Cliff Lodge that is remote and is a first class fishery where you can experience the trophy northern pike fishing and trophy smallmouth bass fishing of a lifetime.

If you are looking for the opportunity to catch a trophy northern pike or trophy smallmouth bass, you definitely want to choose Pine Cliff Lodge.  In 2001, one of our guest, Brian Barnes of Derby, Kansas, caught and released a 53 ¾" northern pike and set a 12 pound line class world record.  His northern pike was ¼ inch short of the All Tackle World Record of 54". 

Sandybeach Lake produces around 25% more trophy northern pike each year compared to the previous year.  This is not a lake where guests are heard saying "The northern pike fishing or smallmouth bass fishing was better 10, 15, or 20 years ago on this lake".  We believe this improvement in fishing is a result of our catch-and-release rules, implemented in 1996, for trophy size fish.  The improvement in trophy smallmouth bass fishing is proving to be even more impressive.  We documented a 200% increase in trophy smallmouth bass caught in 2009 in comparison to 2008.  Have you been fishing a lake where you have the opportunity to catch a 5,6,7, or even 8 pound smallmouth bass?

LUND – YAMAHA- MINNKOTA- LOWRANCE – CANNON – BECKMAN

These brand names spell quality and we pride ourselves on providing the best equipped fishing boats to our guests out of any Ontario fishing lodge.  An 18 ft Lund Alaskan boat powered by a 40 hp electric start Yamaha is standard – no upgrade extra charges like some Ontario fishing lodges.  Our boats are equipped with pedestal seats, flat casting deck, live well, Lowrance color fish finder, MinnKota 55# thrust trolling motor (half of our boats have transom mount tiller handles and the other half are bow mount remote control), on-board battery charger, Cannon downriggers, compass, life jackets, large Beckman net, and an anchor.  Our comfortable boats mean there is no agony of a sore back because you have been sitting on a wooden bench seat all day.  Most importantly, you need to position your boat over the proper structure in the lake in order to catch fish, and our fish finders help you do that. 

At the end of a great day of northern pike fishing and smallmouth bass fishing in Canada, it is nice to come back to a comfortable log cabin.  Our cabins are considered "lady friendly".  This means they are modernized with hot/cold water, electricity, bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and nice beds.  We have six log cabins and one frame cabin that can sleep from two to eight people.  To give you "an old-time Canadian wilderness experience", we spent considerable monies modernizing our 60 plus year old log cabins.  The cabins contain framed art, metal artwork lamps, tapestries, and some animal skin rugs and fish mounts to add to the feel of a wilderness cabin.  Guests comment that our grounds are prettier and better maintained than the provincial parks.

With our Ontario fishing lodge, you have choices when it comes to meals.  All of our cabins have full kitchens and you may choose to bring up your own groceries and cook your own meals under the "Housekeeping Plan".  You may choose to join us in the Lodge for your breakfast and dinner meals under the "Modified American Plan" or just for evening meals under the "Evening Meal Plan".  Meals served at our Ontario fishing lodge are home cooking served family style.  No other Ontario fishing lodge serves 1 ½ inch thick 32 oz or larger T-Bone Steaks, Cornish Game Hens the size of a chicken or all–you-can-eat Danish Baby Back Ribs.  It is not just about quantity because your host, Kaylene, ensures the quality at each meal that our guests have come to expect.

When you choose Pine Cliff Lodge, you get an Ontario fishing lodge on a beautiful remote drive-to lake, where it is easy to catch trophy size fish while northern pike  fishing or smallmouth bass fishing, with great boats, nice log cabin, meals you will boast to friends about when you get home, and a very reasonable price.  This is the Ontario fishing lodge where your Canadian fishing dreams can come true.
