French River Fishing Lodge at Wolseley Bay for Muskie in Ontario
French River Fishing Lodge at Wolseley Bay
 
Get hooked on the Wolseley Lodge, great French River fishing in Ontario!
The Wolseley Lodge is located at the mouth of the Wolseley River one of the major spawning grounds for the Walleye, Northern Pike and Muskie at our part of the French River.
Overlooking the scenic Wolseley Bay, our main lodge offers a LCBO licensed dining room we are serving beer, wine, and coolers to all our guests and the public.
The French River has a well deserved reputation for first class fishing since many decades. The French River is a series of island dotted lakes connected by rapids. More than 95% of the shore line is untouched and protected by the French River Provincial Parkland,
Dokies Indian Reserve and Crown Land. 2 rapids are coming down into, and 3 rapids are leaving our area which is a 25 km long part of the French River and the 5 km long Wolseley Bay.

We offer nice clean cabins, a restaurant and the most modern fleet of fishing boats (2004 Models) at the French River, all with electric start motors and live wells. We also provide you with updated shore line maps with all the hot spots you need to know.

Pike
Pike are plentiful in the weedy waters and shallow bays of the French River. They spawn in weedy bays right after ice breakup. They feed on fish, ducklings and frogs. It's even common to catch them from off of our dock at dusk or dawn.

Walleye/Pickerel
The Walleye can be found in the French River in and around Wolseley Bay. They prefer mainly cold, clear waters. They spawn in early spring in shallow water over gravel bottom and feed mainly on fish. Try at a depth of 5'-8' at dusk & dawn feeding times when trolling or casting, or deeper during warmer daylight hours when jigging.
