Good Fishing, Good Friends and Good Times

Another week in camp passes under bright sunny skies and nights cool enough to grab a sweatshirt for the evening. Not quite the fall of the year, but the days grow shorter and the nights are getting long as we approach one of our favorite times of the year in camp. Fishing remains very goodContinue Reading

March Madness

If you thought from the title, this Blog was going to be about the college basketball tournament, you are wrong. Although the tournament is certainly a big part of March, the title is actually referring to the weather. Even at that, I’m not sure “madness” is the best adjective to describe this weather pattern! We cameContinue Reading

Transition time

In many regards it is just that. On a personal level, the transition relates to the recent return of the girls to the U.S. after a wonderful five week stay in camp. Lot’s of memories and good times with their camp friends again this year. Certainly sad to see them go, but I know theyContinue Reading

Trout fishing…

“Rainbow” Trout that is. Chicago sports fans may remember left handed pitcher Steve “Rainbow” Trout, formerly of the White Sox and Chicago Cubs and who also played later in his 12 year major league career with the Yankees and Mariners. As a life long Cubs baseball fan, I remember Rainbow Trout as a key memberContinue Reading

Another season passes quickly!

The title seems like such an understatement from my perspective as one day you are unloading your own gear, putting the docks, boats, motors etc. in the water, and in the blink of an eye you are turning around and getting everything in camp ready for the winter.In between of course, there was a fairContinue 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 whenContinue Reading

Week 4 in the books….

…and what a week it was! Without question the best fishing week so far of our 2013 season. The guys in week 3 sure had it right when they kept saying: “next week things are really going to take off here”.We have been extremely busy here in camp taking care of guests, which has leftContinue Reading

Weather cools down….Fishing HEATS up!

The recent string of unseasonably cool weather (highs in the upper 60’s to mid 70’s), in addition to being very pleasant for working and sleeping at night, has also resulted in the lake water temperatures dropping about 8 degrees from it’s July high temp of around 75 degrees. With the cooling water fishing has beenContinue Reading

Summer revisits…..

Well as predicted, summer has in fact returned to NW Ontario. Last Tuesday, the mercury hit 95 degrees here in camp and most of this week has dealt us a dead calm lake with temps in the mid to upper 80’s with high humidity. Tough fishing conditions in terms of comfort, but still well worthContinue 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.
