Wow! Starting to feel like NW Ontario around here lately….no, not that cold but crazy weather swings in very short time. Just a week ago, it was 60 degrees, raining hard, and all the ice and snow in the area was gone. Less than a week later we have more snow on the ground than… Continue Reading

March approaches….
I know. Hard to believe it’s almost March already. Overall another very mild winter here in N. Indiana, and certainly spring is around the corner soon. Temps in Perrault Falls, on the other hand remain, shall we say: just a bit “cooler”. Plenty of ice this year and more snow cover than in recent winters we… Continue Reading
Almost Spring and Shows are Over!
Which is a great feeling on both accounts to be honest. Really looking forward to the arrival of Spring and some warmer temps and it’s good to have the show season for another year behind us. We generated a little extra business from each show we attended this year so we are looking forward to… Continue Reading
Rethinking last Blog title…..weather changes
Spring is almost here? Well the weather the last couple of weeks certainly has me rethinking that one! I guess you have to take the good with the bad. Although the crummy spring weather has significantly cut into some time on the water fishing salmon on Lake Michigan and chasing bluegills and crappies on local… Continue Reading
One day at a time….
I guess that’s how everyone with opening week bookings is taking it right now. For that matter so are we. Fortunately temperatures are trending upwards for the Perrault Falls area, but there is still a lot of work for mother nature to do as local reports still indicate over a foot of snow on the… Continue Reading
Ice is out!
Here in Indiana that is…. (gotcha) and actually has been for some time now! With open water calling, I did have the opportunity to squeeze in a couple of bluegill fishing trips. First one with limited success (half a dozen) and the next one much better with a total of 28 nice ‘gills most around… Continue Reading
Tick, tock, tick, tock…… waiting on ice out
as time SLOWLY passes waiting for ice out. I’m joining you this morning from the Trillium hotel and restaurant in Ear Falls where we have stayed the last couple of nights trying to patiently await ice out. Patience is a virtue, right? It also happens to not be one of my stronger ones, especially when… Continue Reading
Still waiting….on ice out
Well I was hopeful that my next blog entry would be done from camp and with a “first-hand” update on ice conditions on the North end of Wabby. Those hopes were dashed in a five minute phone conversation with Wayne Clark from Clark’s Northern Lights resort. Wayne got a plane in the water and was… Continue Reading
Opening Day 2013
That may be the best way to describe the past several days… beginning with a helicopter ride into camp on Wednesday, May 15th. With time running out on us and LOTS of ice still floating around on the big lake, combined with NW winds (keeping it in our way), we made the decision to helicopter… 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.
