Fly-in fishing at Meta Lake Lodge

Last week I went fishing in Ontario for four nights at the Meta Lake Lodge and Outpost Camps. We flew in from Nakina, Ontario on Tuesday and flew back out on Saturday.

I caught the biggest pike of my fishing career, trolling a spoon down the middle of the lake. The walleye were plentiful, and I even caught some nice ones fishing off the dock after supper.

The accommodations and food were outstanding. If you've ever contemplated a fly-in trip, this location is definitely worth considering.

The weather was as…
