Over the years I have been to many fishing camps, both fly-in and drive to destinations, and can honestly say that I have never experienced a more professionally run outfit... read more than the one over at Ellen Camp. The cabins were clean, spacious, and perfectly equipped for both long and short stays. The boats and motors, along with the electronics, worked and ran seamlessly without so much of a hiccup. The amenities such as the game room and lounge are second to none, fully outfitted with pool table, dart board, comfy sofa’s, and a monster large screen TV as an added bonus on top of everything else (this really came in handy one evening as we were able to take in the clinching game of the Stanly Cup Final while we were there) What struck me most was the service Jeff and his crew provided to us during our stay. Right from the minute we were picked up at Mowatt’s, to the moment we left for home, the staff at Ellen Island were so courteous and just an extreme pleasure to deal with and to be around. I can’t say enough about our experience, it was simply amazing ! Oh and the fishing A few days prior to heading up there I contacted Jeff to confirm some particulars.

Oh and the fishing
A few days prior to heading up there I contacted Jeff to confirm some particulars. The discussion then turned and led to what the bite was like recently. Jeff mentioned, “to be honest it’s a bit slow this past week with the mayfly hatch and all” LOL, if we were there during a slow period, I can’t imagine what it’s like when the bite is really on ! Our party of 8 composed of some seasoned anglers and some new-comers did extremely well during our short 3 day stint – resulting in one of the best fish frys I’ve ever had ! .In other words the fishing was truly fantastic during a so-called ‘slow-bite’ period.
Superb people, awesome camp, beautiful lake, and some of the best fishing I’ve ever experienced – what more can I say ?
To Jeff and all his staff, I want to thank you on behalf of our group for making our annual trip such a great success!
I cannot tell how much we enjoyed our stay.
We will definitely be back there next year and many more years to come.
Sincerely,
Gino
