March comes in like a lamb…..

At least here in northern Indiana it did, so if the saying holds true can we expect it to leave like a lion? Not sure to be honest exactly what that would mean, but at this point I certainly hope it doesn’t mean more snow and cold weather. Yes, you guessed it, we have hadContinue Reading

Spring update

Hey everyone,Hope you are enjoying the very slow and deliberate arrival of Spring this year. After being teased weeks ago with some temperatures in the seventies, it has been a treat since to get a sunny day in the 50’s. Despite the cooler temperatures, I actually had a chance to get our boat (TrebleTime) outContinue Reading

Still searching for Spring and good fishing…

Talk about some crazy weather… on Sunday April 10th here in Granger we hit a high of 82 degrees. One week later, we had minor snow flurries. C’MON!! Unfortunately, this crazy temperature pattern held true in Ontario also, with the last week reverting to daytime highs in the 30’s and 40’s and overnight lows inContinue Reading

Ice Out Draws Near

Great news from Perrault Falls, as it looks like ice out on Wabaskang is now just a few short days away. The last couple of days of temps around 16C ( thats about 61F) and some strong South winds have really started to speed up the ice out process I am being told from our friendsContinue Reading

Feels good to be at camp…

A sentiment that I know many of you would agree with. We got in camp late in the day on Monday after a joyous 3 hour “experience” being “processed” at the border. (Please feel free to insert your own words for experience and processed! Of course, there are always a few hiccups (i.e. flat boatContinue Reading

2011 Season Underway

Grab a cold beverage of choice, raise it high in the air, and say in true Bud Light commercial fashion: HERE WE GO! The 2011 NW Ontario fishing season is (with the walleye opener today) officially underway. Sorry for the delay in getting this posted it was supposed to be posted on Saturday but withContinue Reading

Another week goes by….

and we say goodbye to another campful of happy fishermen/women and kids. The last two weeks have produced both excellent weather and fishing despite being a little on the breezy side this week. In fact, if you previously subscribed to the old adage “Winds from the East, fish bite the least” you most likely wouldContinue Reading

Seriously? Week 6 already!

Every year we talk about how fast the season goes by and that we should be used to it. Well here we are starting week 6 and I can’t believe the season (by weeks end) will be 1/3 over already.  As usual, lots of great memories again for many camp guests and us too. It’s easy toContinue 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.
