Former camp owner, John Morgan passes….

I apologize for being late with this notice, but we were recently informed by Steve Morgan (son) that John Morgan, former camp owner (1977-1992), passed away on Thanksgiving Day. We were extremely fortunate to have John in camp with us as a guest on two different occasions. During these trips we really enjoyed the opportunityContinue Reading

Winter enthusiasts rejoice!

Well for those of you (us) who enjoy winter, you have to be smiling about this one! For others, the countdown to spring is probably well underway… Regardless, as we all know there’s not a darn thing you can do about the weather other than sit back and wait for it to change for theContinue Reading

Spring is here… or so we hear! Ice report

That’s what the calendar says anyhow, and actually we have started to see glimpses of it here in Indiana recently with some daytime high temps in the 50’s at least. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s back to the 30’s for the next several days before another warm up arrives late this coming week.The weather, however,Continue Reading

Minor setback? More snow

In case you didn’t hear, reports are that much of NW Ontario received as much as 18″ of new snow in a storm that swept through the area on Monday. With only several feet of snow still remaining from earlier in the winter, this new snow dump should pretty much ensure that there will beContinue Reading

Update…May12

Update: I’m updating from my iPad in a hotel room. Sound like last years blog about this time? Well it looks and feels like it to me that’s for sure. It’s still really too soon, unfortunately, to be able to predict ice out with certainty. While we did make great progress over the weekend withContinue Reading

Opening Day-2014

Opening day is going to be a pretty quiet one around here. Unfortunately, Mother Nature forgot to look at her calendar and failed to live up to her part of the deal by having the lake ice free by opening morning. In fact, quite the opposite, as there is still quite a bit of iceContinue Reading

Peffley's Wilderness Camp is a family owned and operated camp. Dave has been fishing Wabaskang Lake for over 25 years and was previously a guest of this camp for 12 years prior to purchasing the camp in 2005. I am a proud supporter of our military and offer a nice discount during the month of July to our guests who have also served. I have three daughters ranging in ages from 16-21 who spend much of their summer with us in camp and have totally embraced the wilderness experience we offer. They have for years referred to it as the "best summer experience ever".

While rarely necessary on our lake, because I do have a very good working knowledge on how and where to fish on Wabaskang Lake and our portage waters, I will guide groups if asked to. Otherwise, I am always happy to share information with our guests and provide them well marked lake maps so they can start catching fish their first day in camp.

I pride myself on running a very clean and well managed camp with your satisfaction our top priority. Many guests who have fished from this camp for over 20 years, and several more that have fished here for over 30 years and even some over 40 years.
