2017 Season Underway!
What a beautiful morning for the walleye opener here in NW Ontario. Sunshine and very moderate temps on Saturday gave way to a few more clouds and a little wind later in the day, but for opening day it was fantastic weather overall. The fish were pretty cooperative as well, with good catches streaming into… Continue Reading
Ice Out on Wabaskang fast approaching!
Happy Spring to everyone! Though I do have to admit after such a mild winter it’s not quite as exciting when spring “arrives”. It is however, ALWAYS exciting when we hear that the ice is about to go out on Wabaskang! At least a solid two weeks before average ice out, this is certainly good… Continue Reading
Wabaskang Lake- Bear Claw Camp report week of June 11-18
The week, much like most of the season so far, showed some very unstable weather patterns around Wabaskang Lake. No two days seem to be the same here and that certainly applies to last week too. Hot, then cool, sunny then rainy, stormy then clear- you know, as they say if you don’t like the… Continue Reading

Arriving in camp 2016!
Hello to all! It’s time to start blogging again as the 2016 opener is now under 10 days away. I left Indiana on Monday morning May 9th and made it into camp about 4 pm on Tuesday May 10th. Driving through NW Ontario, you could see that while lake levels looked pretty decent, the landscape… Continue Reading
2015 Season ends
Well the 2015 season is in the books, ending with some very good fishing in September. While the weather remained absolutely fantastic overall during the month, it was a little unpredictable which can be common for that time of the year in NW Ontario. Several days of warm, sunny weather might be followed by a… Continue Reading
August remains HOT!
Fortunately I’m not referring to the weather, although we did have another brief spell of temps in the upper 80’s. A cool down ensued thereafter, and culminated in a rainstorm to beat all rainstorms. On Saturday the 22nd, after getting all our guests into camp, it started to rain. It was nothing but rain, heavy… Continue Reading
August off to a great start!
Just a quick blog update. As noted briefly in our last blog, August started out on a fantastic note with some great walleye fishing near weed beds and some fish already transitioned to deeper water structure. The week of August 8-15th, saw the return of summer with lot’s of clear skies, plenty of HEAT and… Continue Reading
Temps cool down, fishing heats up
With some cooler overnight temps, lots of rain and some cloudy skies, water temps have dropped about 10 degrees and the walleye have certainly noticed. The fishing the last two weeks has gone from good to fantastic. With the girls and Megan’s boyfriend Cody here for just one last week, we have been trying to… Continue 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.
