Familiar faces, familiar places……

Well it is Friday evening about six hours before the 2010 walleye season opens, and the familiar faces (our opening week regulars) are all in camp, settled in and ready to hit the walleye tomorrow am. In the meantime, they have spent some time on the water today fishing for pike, lake trout and perchContinue Reading

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

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

2010- A season of memories…..

Sandwiched between Don Strafford’s 49th consecutive year in camp (opening week) and Jim Wertz’s group first ever visit to Canada during week 19 of the season, was another incredible season of fishing, friendship, fun and memories at Bear Claw Camp. New faces blended in with the regulars week in and out, to enjoy the splendorContinue 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

Big hitters and hacks alike will take their turn(s) for this year’s bragging rightsContinue Reading

Catching up…..in camp

Well so much for being more diligent in getting the Blog done, eh? Lot’s of shady excuses to offer though….camp is busy, the girls arrived for their 5 week summer visit etc. The best one however, and it’s really not even an excuse, is that our internet (via satellite) has been experiencing some “issues” andContinue Reading

Summer is heating up….

Although the title refers somewhat to the weather, as it does continue to be a little on the warm side here, it mostly refers to the fishing. The walleye have been biting at an absolutely torrid pace this week and the same can pretty much be said for the northern too, including at least twoContinue 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.
