Welcome to
Birch Bark Lodge!

 Fishing 

​

Birch Bark Lodge is on a fly-in only lake with walleye and trophy northern pike. Remote Wigwascence Lake is located 75 air miles northeast of Pickle Lake and offers miles of islands, bays and reefs for anglers to explore. We are a small resort with all the comforts of home. Come experience Ontario's wilderness - Wigwascense walleye are HUNGRY! No Live bait is permitted or needed.

The lake has very little fishing pressure and is known for its healthy population of walleye and large northern pike. Right after the ice leaves the lake, walleye are typically gathered around their spawning areas. That is near moving water of streams and rapids and in other areas along rocky shores. Wigwascence has numerous flowages into the lake where walleyes stack up. Rapids are another great place to catch walleyes on the river. After spawning, the walleyes scatter around the lake holding to structures such as rock points and underwater rock piles in approximately 6-10 ft of water. As summer progresses, they will tend to go deeper. In spring, huge pike can be found in the shallow bays. During summer, July to Sept, they set up in the weeds, leading to deeper water.
