Walleye Season Officially Underway!

Lot’s of walleye dinners in camp tonight as the season started out with a very good walleye bite. Who would have thought it….. May 15th (the earliest the walleye season can open) and the weather was wonderful. A bit breezy in the late a.m., but lot’s of sunshine, temps in the upper 60’s to low 70’sContinue Reading

Priceless! That’s what good fishing is…

The smile on a 13 year old boys face who loves the sport of fishing making his first trip to Canada. Ken Wieczorek and his son Hunter along with 6 other relatives and friends including Dan Sr. and Jr. who drove 1,650 miles from North Carolina to be here, were guests of camp this week.Continue Reading

Great Weather, Great Fishing

A pretty good rain and lightning show on Monday night this week, otherwise the weather remained pretty nice for late May. Still lot’s of T-shirts, shorts etc. in camp and the need for some sunscreen. The fish have held up their end of the bargain too with many limits this week by both camp veteransContinue Reading

Fishing Canada-Young at heart

We were fortunate enough again this year to be hosts to Pete Paruch’s family from the St. Joseph, Michigan area. I forgot to ask Pete how many years in camp this was for the family but let’s just say this “wasn’t their first rodeo.” Pete was joined by his two sons Ryan and Jason alongContinue Reading

Experience Counts

Just for fun this week I added up the total fishing experience of the group leaders in our eight guest cabins. Not the entire group, just the most senior member of the crew, and determined that this week in camp we have 135 years of experience in camp in just the “pit bosses”. That includesContinue Reading

Seneca, South Carolina ROCKS Peffley’s Camp!

It was our pleasure at Peffley’s Camp to host Bob Stromberg’s group from Seneca, South Carolina again this year. Bob was here for somewhere in the 38th year range and his group of Fred Bailine, Tom Greene and Dave Garrison (all 70’ish in ages with the notable exception of Bob who is only 69) sufferedContinue Reading

Bye, bye bachelor life

Tomorrow (6/23) will officially signal the end of the early season bachelor life for me as the “estrogen invasion” is on it’s way. The three girls (Megan, Emily and Allison) are travelling with friends and are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Milissa and Sara will also be arriving this week, but have been delayed just aContinue Reading

Summer slowdown, fishing?

Hopefully no one read this and thought I was talking about the fishing! Actually, the fishing has been holding up pretty good with all the sun, heat and humidity last week. Fran and Mary VanHoorweghe would certainly attest to that. Despite losing about a day and a half of their trip to really crummy weather, FranContinue Reading

Holbrook Family returns to Peffley’s Wilderness Camp

Hi everyone. Although every single week of camp is special in it’s own way, last week in camp was extra special. The Holbrook family (Adam-Dad, Michelle-Mom, CJ-15, Ben-11, and twin sisters Sara and Tara-9) from Roann, Indiana were special guests of Peffley’s Camp again this year. Many of you may recall that the Holbrooks wereContinue 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.
