This is the ultimate wilderness
hideout for two people. The camp at Maynard Lake is located on the English River
system and will sleep four people in comfort, but its the perfect place for a couple
whod like to have their own private, fly-in cabin in the Canadian Wilderness. The lake is
accessible by float plane only, so theres very little fishing pressure. The idea
behind Maynard Lake is to spoil you. Well fly you into the lake, provide you with
all the necessities for a wilderness adventure, and then discreetly leave.
The cabin at Maynard Lake is newly
remodeled, with big windows that overlook the sparkling waters of the lake. Theres
sandy beaches right in front of the cabin and a sheltered cove where you can park your
boat out of the wind. The lake itself is large (20 miles long), and has numerous islands,
bays and narrow channels so no matter which way the wind is blowing theres always
sheltered fishing water within a few miles of home.
The dominant species on this lake are walleye and northern pike. The pike are
big (our guests have caught 25-pounders) and the walleyes are numerous. Milton Humphries
and his wife Iantha, from Salem, Arkansas, have been regular guests at the Maynard Lake
cabin for 12 years. "The main challenge on this lake is trying to catch a few
walleyes that are small enough to eat," jokes Milton. "The walleyes are larger
than average, and there are lots of great fishing spots. We never have to travel more than
ten or fifteen minutes from the cabin to find good action."
His wife Iantha says she loves the
beauty of nature. "We see lots of moose and other wildlife. And we get so much fresh air and exercise that we sleep like babies at night.
Its so nice to lay in bed at night and listen to the lonesome wail of the loons.
Its like having your own private paradise."
FISHING POLICY
In Maynard Lake, we are encouraging the
adoption of Catch and Release fishing. This means that you can eat smaller walleye while
staying there, but not take your limit home. Release all trophy fish after taking photos
and measurements if you decide to have a replica made. This policy will ensure that the
quality of fishing remains high and consistent for future generations of fishermen.
However, if you do decided to take some fish home, our policy is that you can only take
Walleye and must limit them to those fish under 18 inches.
