body of water. In four days of fishing, we put nine
master angler walleyes in the boat but what was also
staggering was the sheer number of 24 to 28-inch fish
we caught. We typically caught at least sixty fish each
day. To add even more enjoyment to the whole

experience was that the 24-inch fish fought just as hard
as the 30 inch fish. Stubborn, bull dog fights that
stretched eight-pound mono, bending over a spinning
rod right down to the handle. Directly below the boat
in twenty-five to thirty feet of water, these big fish
refused to leave the bottom of the lake. Good living.

The logistics also make Gunisao stand out. Most fly in
camps utilize float planes which add another layer of
expense and also are limited by range. This camp
actually built an air strip next to the lodge and utilize
chartered flights out of Winnipeg. Simply get to
Winnipeg and fly out early in the morning. After an
hour and a half flight, you are eating breakfast at the

lodge and on your way to fishing. No float planes not
only simplifies the logistics for anglers but also raises
everything else up a notch. This camp uses much
larger motors that burn more fuel. The food is
excellent. Supplies and staff get transported with each
trip.
