Comments: Mattice Lake Outfitters
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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.
Mattice Lake Outfitters have
always made me feel like
family. That means a lot to
me.
Don,
We have been coming to your outfitting service since 2000 or 2001. After we picked
your service and made our reservations we all had ideas as to what we wanted ( hoped for ) from you and the fishing trip. You exceeded all of our expectations. Your hospitality is top notch. I don't know if you remember our first trip or not. While at camp our truck developed a flat tire. Jason had it fixed and ready to go
when we got back. As if the experience is not enough to bring us back the extra mile
you went was the clencher.
The planes are clean and the pilots experienced. The boats are nice size and the
motors well maintained. The cabin was
perfect and situated in such a place the sunsets were magnificent.
But the fishing was out of sight! I've watched my son catch northerns topwater on a beautiful sunny afternoon.
We watched an eagle dive for fish the same day. An awesome sight!
We have also see moose, beavers and otters.
Can't wait till August. See you then.

An outfitter who truly cares
about his customers. The
facilities and equipment are
top notch. The price is fair.
The fishing is outstanding.
Every year since 1991, our
group has caught hundreds
(really thousands, but most
won't believe this) of
walleyes. Last year I caught
my biggest northern; 44
inches.
This is one of those "once in a lifetime trips" for many, that we have found a way to do every year.
This is one of those "once in a lifetime trips" for many, that we have found a way to do every year.
I have been using Mattice for
the last four years. After
staying in their newer cabins
with the showers and beautiful
views, I can not even think of
using another outfitter. The
lakes are great for walleye
and northern fishing and the
boats and motors are always in
good condition. I can't wait
to get back there this year
for another week on a new
lake.
We have gone to Mattice
Outfitters for the last 3
years. The experience has been
great all the way from the
hospitality to the fishing and
everything in between.
Don't miss the chance to fish here its great !!
Don't miss the chance to fish here its great !!
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 .
We stayed at Bellsmith Lake in
2005, and at Vick Lake in
2006. The flight out was
great and the mid-week service
of supply runs and ice
replenishment was great. The
cabins are well insulated and
the showers were appreciated
after a day on the water! We
had both lakes to ourselves,
which was perfect! All the
equipment is well maintained
and back-up motors are
available, along with the
extra boat. The security of
having a two-way radio was
also appreciated. The staff
are all helpful and friendly
and for two years now I can't
think of one negative thing to
say. Mattice Lake Outfitters
is a first class operation and
well worth the long drive from
our place in Oak Creek,
Wisconsin. We hope to have
the opportunity to visit
Armstrong in the future and
fly-out with these great folks
again. Vick Lake is larger
and has more area to explore
than Bellsmith, but both have
lots of fish, and we never
came back to the cabin with an
empty fish basket! Thanks!
Chris and Rosie
I can personally attest to the
quality of fishing,
accomodations, and service
that Mattice Lake Outfitters
(MLO) offers.
I've fished Vick, Pringle (3 years), and Ogoki Reservoir (2 years) with them. Each of the cabins were clean, well thought out, and very functional.
The fishing was fantastic at each lake. Pringle and Ogoki were better for walleyes than was Vick, but Vick is great for numbers of pike with good overall size. On both Pringle and Ogoki our average walleyes were in the 19"-21" range. Very thick and healthy fish. 95% of our fish are caught without live bait.
Don, Annette, Yolanda, Jason and Austin are fantastic hosts and will make sure that your trip is a good one. All of the pilots that I have ever flown with through MLO have been professional, safe, and thorough.
I plan to continue to use MLO whenever the opportunity presents itself, and recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

We have been going to Mattice
Lake Outfitters since 1992 and
are always impressed by the
quality of service and
friendly, helpful family that
runs the operation.
They are extremely dependable and consistent year after year.
They are extremely dependable and consistent year after year.
If you are looking for a first
class outfitter, excellent
fishing and top
notch accomodations, Don Elliot and his crew at Mattice Lake
Outfitters is your best choice.
I have been fishing the bush since 1968. I've flown in, hiked in
and driven to remote camps from Wawa, White River, Nakina and
Armstrong, Ontario as well as points in between. Some trips great,
some trips not so great, but none of the trips surpass Mattice Lake
Outfitters. that is why I return year after year.
Most importantly, Don makes you feel like family. No request is
ignored. If it is important to you then it is important to Don.
Don Elliot strives to insure that each trip is handled as if it were
the trip of a lifetime, and in some cases it is. All facilities are
vigilantly attended to and kept in the best of shape. Extra boats,
motors, fuel, firewood and ice are readily availble. Don has even
been known to fly in a bottle of whisky when supplies became
critically low.
The fishing is fabulous.

Visited Whitewater Lake in
1994 and have returned 12
times since. Don and Annette
run a first class operation.
Their aircraft are works of
art and all equipment and
accomodations are unsurpassed.
Our group are avid fisherman
and the fact that we have
returned so many times says it
all, even stayed for two full
weeks one year!
I happened to run into an old
High School friend at a
Pittsburgh Steelers Game, and
all he could talk about –
other than the Steelers—was
this great fishing experience
he had with an outfitter in
Canada. He had been back
several times and was sold on
the relationship he had built
with the outfitter. Both of
us turned 50 years old last
summer within weeks and my
friend commented “would it not
be great to share that
occasion while fishing for
Walleye in Canada.” Well, five
months later, we were sitting
in the red and black De
Havilland Beaver, piloted by
owner Don Elliot, of Mattice
Lake Outfitters.
From first day to last day, it was the experience of a life-time.
I highly recommend the professional outfitter services of Don Elliot and his team. We had great service. The cabin was tip-top shape, the boats were well maintained, Ice was serviced in during our stay (before we woke) and the fishing was one word -- FANTASTIC.
We saw eagles most of the days on the water. On our very last day of fishing – we landed over 70 walleye and a dozen or two muskies; the single best day of fishing in my life. They hit everything we threw into the water. It was like making a hole-in-one your last time out at golf, just before you put the clubs away for the winter, you dream all winter long on getting back out there.
I have been dreaming all winter about heading back and will definitely do it with my sons and friend again. Don Elliot is a great down to earth guy…just make sure you book soon…they have plenty of satisfied repeat customers.

About Mattice Lake Outfitters
Mattice Lake Outfitters offer a truly unforgettable wilderness fly-in experience to unspoiled Canadian lakes in Northwestern Ontario. Experience world-class fishing from one of 10 deluxe outpost camps on secluded private lakes where you have the whole lake to yourself or from one of 2 very small wilderness lodges on Whitewater Lake and the Ogoki Reservoir. Fly-in moose hunting trips are also available.
Treat yourself to a successful fly-in moose hunt!
Our high success rates are attributed to healthy, plentiful herds as well as our surveillance of their movements. You can choose to hunt from one of our 9 fully equipped outpost camps, 2 lodges or from one of our tent camps on lakes used for moose hunting only.
At our 2 lodges we have more than one guest cabin. During the fishing season we have multiple groups at these camps at one time; however during the moose hunt we generally have only one hunting group at either of these camps at any one time. However, in some cases there will be an overlap of a day or two between groups or we may have a couple of small fishing groups at the same time. Our 3 mini hunt camps are located on smaller lakes that we utilize for moose hunting only. Rather than permanent cabins at these locations, we erect tent camps, which are removed after the hunt is over for the season.
Fly-in getaways are perfect for those planning a fishing trip, family vacation, family reunion, wildlife viewing excursion, Fall moose hunting trip or relaxing holiday. Anticipate world-class fishing, solitude and the thrill of flying to your own lake onboard one of our deHavilland Beaver or Turbo Otter seaplanes.

you went was the clencher.
The planes are clean and the pilots experienced. The boats are nice size and the
motors well maintained. The cabin was
perfect and situated in such a place the sunsets were magnificent.
But the fishing was out of sight! I've watched my son catch northerns topwater on a beautiful sunny afternoon.
We watched an eagle dive for fish the same day. An awesome sight!
We have also see moose, beavers and otters.
Can't wait till August. See you then.

Can't wait till August. See you then.
An outfitter who truly cares
about his customers. The
facilities and equipment are
top notch. The price is fair.
The fishing is outstanding.
Every year since 1991, our
group has caught hundreds
(really thousands, but most
won't believe this) of
walleyes. Last year I caught
my biggest northern; 44
inches.
This is one of those "once in a lifetime trips" for many, that we have found a way to do every year.

I have been using Mattice for
the last four years. After
staying in their newer cabins
with the showers and beautiful
views, I can not even think of
using another outfitter. The
lakes are great for walleye
and northern fishing and the
boats and motors are always in
good condition. I can't wait
to get back there this year
for another week on a new
lake.
We have gone to Mattice
Outfitters for the last 3
years. The experience has been
great all the way from the
hospitality to the fishing and
everything in between.
Don't miss the chance to fish here its great !!

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 .
We stayed at Bellsmith Lake in
2005, and at Vick Lake in
2006. The flight out was
great and the mid-week service
of supply runs and ice
replenishment was great. The
cabins are well insulated and
the showers were appreciated
after a day on the water! We
had both lakes to ourselves,
which was perfect! All the
equipment is well maintained
and back-up motors are
available, along with the
extra boat. The security of
having a two-way radio was
also appreciated. The staff
are all helpful and friendly
and for two years now I can't
think of one negative thing to
say. Mattice Lake Outfitters
is a first class operation and
well worth the long drive from
our place in Oak Creek,
Wisconsin. We hope to have
the opportunity to visit
Armstrong in the future and
fly-out with these great folks
again. Vick Lake is larger
and has more area to explore
than Bellsmith, but both have
lots of fish, and we never
came back to the cabin with an
empty fish basket! Thanks!

I can personally attest to the
quality of fishing,
accomodations, and service
that Mattice Lake Outfitters
(MLO) offers.
I've fished Vick, Pringle (3 years), and Ogoki Reservoir (2 years) with them. Each of the cabins were clean, well thought out, and very functional.
The fishing was fantastic at each lake. Pringle and Ogoki were better for walleyes than was Vick, but Vick is great for numbers of pike with good overall size. On both Pringle and Ogoki our average walleyes were in the 19"-21" range. Very thick and healthy fish. 95% of our fish are caught without live bait.
Don, Annette, Yolanda, Jason and Austin are fantastic hosts and will make sure that your trip is a good one. All of the pilots that I have ever flown with through MLO have been professional, safe, and thorough.
I plan to continue to use MLO whenever the opportunity presents itself, and recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

We have been going to Mattice
Lake Outfitters since 1992 and
are always impressed by the
quality of service and
friendly, helpful family that
runs the operation.
They are extremely dependable and consistent year after year.

If you are looking for a first
class outfitter, excellent
fishing and top
notch accomodations, Don Elliot and his crew at Mattice Lake
Outfitters is your best choice.
I have been fishing the bush since 1968. I've flown in, hiked in
and driven to remote camps from Wawa, White River, Nakina and
Armstrong, Ontario as well as points in between. Some trips great,
some trips not so great, but none of the trips surpass Mattice Lake
Outfitters. that is why I return year after year.
Most importantly, Don makes you feel like family. No request is
ignored. If it is important to you then it is important to Don.
Don Elliot strives to insure that each trip is handled as if it were
the trip of a lifetime, and in some cases it is. All facilities are
vigilantly attended to and kept in the best of shape. Extra boats,
motors, fuel, firewood and ice are readily availble. Don has even
been known to fly in a bottle of whisky when supplies became
critically low.
The fishing is fabulous.

Visited Whitewater Lake in
1994 and have returned 12
times since. Don and Annette
run a first class operation.
Their aircraft are works of
art and all equipment and
accomodations are unsurpassed.
Our group are avid fisherman
and the fact that we have
returned so many times says it
all, even stayed for two full
weeks one year!
I happened to run into an old
High School friend at a
Pittsburgh Steelers Game, and
all he could talk about –
other than the Steelers—was
this great fishing experience
he had with an outfitter in
Canada. He had been back
several times and was sold on
the relationship he had built
with the outfitter. Both of
us turned 50 years old last
summer within weeks and my
friend commented “would it not
be great to share that
occasion while fishing for
Walleye in Canada.” Well, five
months later, we were sitting
in the red and black De
Havilland Beaver, piloted by
owner Don Elliot, of Mattice
Lake Outfitters.
From first day to last day, it was the experience of a life-time.
I highly recommend the professional outfitter services of Don Elliot and his team. We had great service. The cabin was tip-top shape, the boats were well maintained, Ice was serviced in during our stay (before we woke) and the fishing was one word -- FANTASTIC.
We saw eagles most of the days on the water. On our very last day of fishing – we landed over 70 walleye and a dozen or two muskies; the single best day of fishing in my life. They hit everything we threw into the water. It was like making a hole-in-one your last time out at golf, just before you put the clubs away for the winter, you dream all winter long on getting back out there.
I have been dreaming all winter about heading back and will definitely do it with my sons and friend again. Don Elliot is a great down to earth guy…just make sure you book soon…they have plenty of satisfied repeat customers.

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.
We have been coming to your outfitting service since 2000 or 2001. After we picked
your service and made our reservations we all had ideas as to what we wanted ( hoped for ) from you and the fishing trip. You exceeded all of our expectations. Your hospitality is top notch. I don't know if you remember our first trip or not. While at camp our truck developed a flat tire. Jason had it fixed and ready to go
when we got back. As if the experience is not enough to bring us back the extra mile
you went was the clencher.
The planes are clean and the pilots experienced. The boats are nice size and the
motors well maintained. The cabin was
perfect and situated in such a place the sunsets were magnificent.
But the fishing was out of sight! I've watched my son catch northerns topwater on a beautiful sunny afternoon.
We watched an eagle dive for fish the same day. An awesome sight!
We have also see moose, beavers and otters.
Can't wait till August. See you then.
This is one of those "once in a lifetime trips" for many, that we have found a way to do every year.
