Daily River Trips

A highlight to a fishing vacation at Makokibatan Lodge is a guided trip on the Albany River itself. A full day spent traveling through some of Canada's most spectacular scenery, running exciting rapids and catching plenty of fish. The day begins just after breakfast, as your guide will have your boat cleaned, gassed and ready to go. Your guide will first assess your tackle to ensure that you are prepared for river fishing and then you are off.



While traveling to the River your guide would be pleased to answer any questions regarding the lodge, wildlife, or history of the area. The majority of our Ojibway guides were born and raised on the Albany River so they have a wealth of knowledge to share. Fishing in the fast moving water is very different from lake fishing and your guide will share tips to ensure that you get the right technique. And fighting a fish in fast water is very different as well; every fish fights like a trophy.

Shore lunch will be prepared by your guide on the shore of the river with some of the morning's catch. The freshest walleye you will ever eat. The afternoon is spent fishing a variety of holes for both walleye and brook trout. You will be amazed by the guide's precise control of his boat, cruising along at impressive speeds, maneuvering through boulder-strewn rapids with complete ease and safety.

Between 4:30 and 5:00 you will arrive back at the lodge, in time to freshen up for dinner after a truly exciting day of action.

Our trout are spectacular.
