I have used the services
of MLO for the past nine years and have never had a bad trip
because of this
outfitters
services . I have been
on
thirty fly-in trips as of
this
past July . I have never
seen
a more service oriented
company. I have worked
in
industry the past 34 years<
and
have seen many companies
who
should take lessons from
Don
Elliot as far as
customer
service goes. The planes
are
all clean and well
maintained
for safety. The cabins
are
clean , very well
equipped
for cooking , and plenty
of
firewood . I have never
had a bad outboard motor to
deal with in all my trips with them. All the gas you care to
use. Nice docks and fish cleaning
facilities . I have used
their services on canoe
trips
and always picked up when
and where we decided upon. As
far as walleye , I do not
believe
there is a better lake
in
Ontario for size and
numbers
than the Ogoki Reservoir.
We
like this outfitter so
well
that we
drive 1100 miles each way
to
use them .

I have used MTO several times
and would never consider
another
outfitter. Their lakes and
cabins are second to none and
the rest of
the equipment is like new and
in great working order every
year. My
experience with MTO has been
like staying at a 5 star drive
in resort
with all the amenities but
only in a fly in atmosphere.
With all that
said it is the Eliot family
that puts MTO in an Elite
class. They provide
everything from food to bait
and everything in between. I
have
always been coached on where
to fish and find myself on
quality fish
from the very start of my
trip. Atrip with MTO is an
experience of a
lifetime you will never
forget.

I have been fishing Canada
since 1963. From Canoe trips
to Fly-in camps. I have been
with Don and Annette at
Mattice Lake for the past
eight years. The service is
excellent from the flight to
the check-ins. They have
great cabins with running
water and showers as well as
boats and motors all in
excellent condition. I have
been to six different lakes
all with GREAT fishing. From
Weese where six of us caught
997 fish in a week to Short
Lake where I had to release a
25.5 inch walleye because my
partner caught a bigger one .
If you plan on going fishing
then plan on using Mattice
Lake Outfitters. They are
worth the drive (in our case
1200 miles 0ne way) and the
money. They in my estimation
are the best. You get great
camps on great lakes with
great fishing along with the
always beautiful scenery and
wild life To our group we
consider the People at Mattice
Lake like Family. Come enjoy
and have great fishing. Just
save some fish for us.

The fly-in to the remote cabins, is handled by highly skilled pilots. The scenery is breathtaking, the accommodations & equipment are top-notch, and the attention from the Outfitter, is personal and professional.
The fishing experience is exceptional! Quantity and quality of fish has been beyond our expectations.
Our group has expierenced Vick, Pringle, and Bellsmith Lakes. Each has their own personality, and challenges. And, they offer catches of Walleye up to 28", and Northern Pike up to 44".
We keep coming back year after year, because of the superb experience.

After several fly-in fishing
trips with other outfitters, I
decided to try MLO on the
recommendation from a friend.
From the initial booking,
check-in and loading to the
outstanding pilots and camp
attendants and the cleanliness
and condition of their camps,
I have never considered
another Fly-in outfitter.
Since that first year, I have
returned 8 more times and each
experience is better than the
previous year. I look forward
to seeing Don, Annette and
their growing family every
year and I eagerly anticipate
to my next trip to Armstrong,
Ontario. For me, a Fly-in
fishing trip to Canada is a
big investment; of both time
and money, and I feel that
Mattice Lake Outfitters are
simply the Best in the
Business!

The Mattice family has been flying me out for the last seven years on my canoe trips. Don’s knowledge of the land and waterways are superior to any other outfitters that I have used over the years, and I have been canoeing since 1976. The whole Mattice family is involved in running the camp and they do a great job. They will take care of all your requests.
Mattice Lake outfitters are on the doorstep of Wabikimi Provincial Park. Wabikimi is a canoeing and fishing paradise where you can catch walleye and pike all day long. I know because I have done it, and not just once. Not only is the fishing great but you can see eagles, bear, otters, moose, and woodland caribou.
In 2005 I brought my youngest son on his first canoe trip and we celebrated his tenth birthday on the same campsite where his older brother and I had camped with our bellies full of walleye and our eyes full with the colors of the northern lights.

I went to Canada with Mattice
Lake over 10 years ago for my
first trip to Canada. It was a
trip of a lifetime, I've gone
back 5 times and just
scheduled another one. Fun,
professional and lots of
fish.

The annual fishing trip to Mattice Lake Outfitters is one of the highlights of the year. I first went to Mattice Lake when I was 18 with my Dad, Grandfathers and Uncle. The terrain is spectacular and the flight to the camp gives you such a unique perspective of the area. The cabins are beautiful and have been continually updated over the years. The boats are always in good working order.
Twelve years later I still try to go fishing with my Dad every fall. As we drive the eighteen hours north, we talk about all the beautiful lakes and big pike we probably drive by, but we never consider going anywhere else for our annual fishing trip. Mattice Lake Outfitters is a family business in the true sense of the word, from the paintings that Don’s mother creates for the annual calendars to being greeted with a big grin by grandson Lucas. It is a special place that embraces all the values that seem to get lost in many businesses today. Don, Annette, Yolanda, Jason and Austin are hardworking, knowledgeable, accommodating and honest.
But what I think says a lot about the experience at Mattice Lake is that every year as we drive home we are already talking about our next trip!
