Why groups pick Sydney Lake
A group trip only works if everybody has a good week: the hardcore angler, the guy who fishes twice a year, and the one who mostly came for the stories. Here's what makes that easy here.
Walleye are the main event, with trophy pike and lake trout too. The guy with five rods and the guy who borrowed one both go home happy. Walleye fishing →
Five big cabins have 8 to 12 beds, so you can add a friend late. A/C, hot showers, and a screened porch with one long table. Compare the cabins →
No roads, launches, outposts or other camps on Sydney or Kilburn. Your group has 190 miles of shoreline to spread out on. Why these lakes →
Daily housekeeping, and we can do your dishes. Your boats are gassed, cleaned and ready at 7:00 a.m., with the latest on what's biting. Boats & dock service →
No dinner bell. Fish at first light, eat when you're hungry, and stay out for the evening bite. Cook your own favourites in a full kitchen.
The float plane, cabin, boat, all your gas and your Ontario fishing licence are included. Your crew brings food, tackle and a passport. What's included →

Fitting your group
Every group gets its own cabin. Tell me who's coming and I'll match you to the right one.
| Your group | Where you'll stay |
|---|---|
| 2 to 4 people | The Fisherman's cabin or Cabin 4, with the same A/C, kitchen, shower and porch as the big cabins |
| 4 to 8 people | One of five big cabins, with 8 to 12 beds, so there's room to add one or two |
| 9 to 16 people | Two big cabins. Each has its own kitchen, so you can cook together or split up |
| 17 or more | Call me, and we'll plan the cabins, flights and boats together |
Still rounding everyone up? I can hold your dates for two weeks while you get commitments. See all seven cabins →
For the trip organizer
Somebody has to herd the cats. If that's you, here's the order that works, from the first call to the float plane.
“The fishing is excellent. We have been coming since 1990 and have yet to have a bad fishing experience.” — Dave L., New Brighton, Minnesota
Shore lunch
Pull the boats up on a granite point, fire up the burners and fry the walleye you caught that morning. A fresh walleye shore lunch is part of every trip.
Want a head start? Hire our head guide, David Quinlan, for the first day at $275 US. He'll show your group the spots, and you'll fish them the rest of the week.
Every kind of crew
Same week, same cabin, same friends. Plenty of groups book next year's week before they fly home, so it's theirs again.
Reward your best people or host clients for less than an American Plan lodge. You bring the food, which keeps costs down. Ask me about a package.
Big groups take more planning, and I'll do most of it with you: dates, cabins, flights and boats. Start with a call.
Grandparents, parents and kids in one cabin, with kids under 16 at 40% off. Family fishing trips →
Book a guide for day one, follow your waterproof lake map marked with our spots, and ask me at the dock every morning.
Plans change. If a cabin is open, we can often get you in quickly. Call or text me at 1-780-660-7171.
Group trip FAQ
Groups of 6 or 7 save 5%, and groups of 8 or more save 10%, taken off every person's package. Kids under 16 are 40% off and count toward your group size, so both discounts apply.
Five big cabins suit groups of 4 to 8 and have 8 to 12 beds, so you can add one or two people. Two small cabins suit 2 to 4.
Never. Each group gets its own cabin, whether you're two people or eight.
Most groups fish two to a boat. Every boat is a 16 ft Lund with a 25 hp Yamaha, and all the gas is included.
Yes. I can hold your dates for two weeks. A $500 US deposit per person then confirms the trip, and the balance is due before you come.
The trip calculator prices your whole group, adds shared costs like gas, the hotel and groceries, and splits them per adult or per person.
Deposits aren't refundable, but they can move to other dates in the same calendar year. Arriving or leaving on a different day without 30 days' notice costs $125 per person.
