Walleye every day, with northern pike and lake trout mixed in. It's the first thing almost everyone writes about.

If you like catching 300-400 walleyes over 20” long in a week and then throw in some big pike as well, then you need to come to Sydney Lake! My family has been coming here for over 30 years and it never disappoints. Between the fishing, the boats, the accommodations, and the staff, the camp keeps improving.. Thanks Jeb and team for another awesome week. See you next year!

Sydney Lake Lodge exceeded every expectation. The fishing was absolutely outstanding. We caught quality fish every day, with incredible walleye, lake trout and northern pike action. The service was second to none, and every member of the staff went out of their way to make sure our trip was enjoyable.
The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was first-class.
An unforgettable Canadian fly-in fishing experience, I can’t recommend Sydney Lake Lodge highly enough. We couldn’t have asked for more and are already looking forward to coming back!
