Wildlife is plentiful.
Almost any day you can see beaver, muskrat, ducks, cranes, bald eagles, osprey, moose, loons, owls and on occasion, a bear, fox or wolf. 

Most customers prefer to take the Algoma Central Railway from Hawk Junction to Oba.
This is less expensive and takes less time than catching the train at Sault Ste. Marie.
The cost of the train, round trip from Hawk Junction, is approximately $95 Canadian per person.
The train makes several stops where it drops off other fishermen, supplies and mail along the way.
You will arrive in Oba about three hours after you leave Hawk Junction.
The train leaves Hawk Junction at about 3:20 p.m. on Sundays.
You can view the Algoma Central Railway Schedule by clicking here
Or you can call the Railway at 1-800-242-9287.
Your gear and food is transported free of charge with your passenger ticket. 

We will meet you at the train stop in Oba on Sunday and transport you and your gear by truck to our boat launch on the Oba River. 

You will then be guided on a 14-mile, one-hour boat ride down the Oba River before arriving at our cabins on Cameron Lake. 

On Saturday morning we will guide you back up the river to Oba and help you with your gear, making sure you arrive at the train stop in plenty of time. The train leaves Oba at about 9:45 a.m. and arrives back at Hawk Junction shortly before noon.

July and Early August host the best weather conditions as it is generally warm and sunny.
However, on occasion, there will be overcast days or thunderstorms.
There are fewer mosquitos and black flies during these months.
Generally the black flies are gone by July 4.
The fishing is excellent during parts of July and all of August.

For those of you who are interested in fishing Derry Lake, we brushed the trail in 2006. What once took 45 minutes to an hour can now be traveled in 15 to 20 minutes. There's a boat and motor already there. Derry Lake won't disappoint you with larger Northern Pike and the occasional Walleye.

All cabins are completely screened and sleep 4 to 8 persons. 
Boats and motors for every two adults are included with your cabin.

Fishing, Lures and Baits...
A good way to locate fish is to troll or drift until you get a number of strikes or fish. Then go back over the area until it becomes unproductive.  Spend about one-third of your time trolling and trying new areas. If you don't catch a fish in fifteen minutes, move to a new area. Fish near the bottom for walleye and the weed beds for pike.

The lures and bait that have been most successful at Cameron Lake include the following:
Live minnows, night crawlers, red and white Daredevils (medium size), gold, silver and copper dimpled spoons (medium size), KO Wobbler (orange and silver colors), Rapalas (diving CD-7), Erie Dearie walleye rigs with crawlers and jigs (green, yellow, white and black) and rattle traps.
