Sandybeach Lake at 10,000 acres is one of the most remote large drive-to lakes in Ontario, Canada. Some Ontario fishing lodges state they are the only lodge on the lake, but they have public boat ramps and private cabins that provide heavy fishing pressure on their lake. On Sandybeach Lake, there is one private cabin that may have a boat on the lake and about 25 fishermen at our lodge. You will not find drive-to lakes the size of Sandybeach Lake with such restrictive access. Our Canadian fishing lodge provides the remoteness you thought was only available by flying into a remote lake. Do not travel all the way to a Canada fishing lodge to miss out on the world-class fishing a remote location can provide. Choose an Ontario fishing lodge like Pine Cliff Lodge that is remote and is a first class fishery where you can experience the trophy northern pike fishing and trophy smallmouth bass fishing of a lifetime. Checkout the Master Angler and Trophy Fish list to compare our guests success to the action on the lake you currently fish. If you are looking for the opportunity to catch a trophy northern pike or trophy smallmouth bass, you definitely want to choose Pine Cliff Lodge. In 2001, one of our guest, Brian Barnes of Derby, Kansas, caught and released a 53 " northern pike and set a 12 pound line class world record. His northern pike was inch short of the All Tackle World Record of 54".

WILL YOU BE THE NEXT SMALLMOUTH BASS RECORD HOLDER? Sandybeach Lake produces between 20% to 60% more trophy northern pike and trophy smallmouth bass each year compared to the previous year. This is not a lake where guests are heard saying "The northern pike fishing or smallmouth bass fishing was better 10, 15, or 20 years ago on this lake". We believe this improvement in fishing is a result of our catch-and-release rules, implemented in 1996, for trophy size fish and the introduction of smelt on the lake (Smelt are plentiful and easy baitfish for our gamefish, when they would normally be less active during the winter months; therefore, our pike and bass are putting on weight in the winter and not losing weight as is common on most lakes.). The improvement in trophy smallmouth bass fishing is proving to be most impressive. We are seeing the number of trophy smallmouth bass increase each year, but more exciting is the increase in length and weight.

Have you been fishing a lake where you have the opportunity to catch a 5,6,7, or even 8 pound smallmouth bass? The Canadian Record Smallmouth Bass is 9 pounds 13.5 ounces. Our fisherman routinely report very large smallmouth bass suspended near their 6 and 7 pound bass. I believe one of these big bass will be caught on Sandybeach Lake and the next Canadian Record Smallmouth Bass will be held by a Pine Cliff Lodge guest. The largest smallmouth bass in 2010 was a 23" bass caught by Warren Phillips of Maryland, a fly-fishermen. If you want a chance at having a Canadian or possibly a World Record Smallmouth Bass, you need to book a fishing trip with us.
