I have been rainbow trout fishing at O’Sullivan’s Rainbow several times. In my opinion, it is one of the best fishing spots in Ontario, Canada. The cabins were nice, spacious, and well-equipped. The boats and motors worked perfectly and we had no issues at all. The lake is vast and offers different fishing opportunities, depending on the season, wind, and weather. Every day is unique. And the rainbow trout is definitely there. If you check out the website and fish photos, it's true, but like any good angler, we respect the wildlife and release most of our catches back into the water. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Bob, Shelly, and the whole team welcome you like family! The camp is extremely well maintained, clean, and the fishing is excellent! I highly recommend this resort to everyone!

I recently spent two wonderful weeks at O'Sullivan's Rainbow Fishing Lodge. The welcome was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff. The lodge was comfortable and offered a magnificent view! The fishing experience was fantastic, thanks to experienced guides who showed me the best spots. I fished for different species and had a great time on the water. In summary, O'Sullivan's offered a perfect balance between relaxation and adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing getaway!

This resort offers a warm family atmosphere. The accommodations are exceptional. The fishing is world-class, with a wide variety of species (walleye, pike, lake trout, brook trout, whitefish, yellow perch) for those who like to vary their techniques. The lake itself is full of bays, islands, rivers, and even streams to explore. It would take a lifetime to discover all the fishing spots. These include lac O'Sullivan, lac Superb, rivière Kowkash, rivière Little Current, and ruisseau Hanover. It is a drive-in resort, but it also offers a unique fly-in experience.

We stayed at O’Sullivan’s Rainbow for the first time from June 22 to 29, 2024, in cabin #6. What a surprise! The resort was spotless, clean, and provided top-quality service and equipment. Access was also easy thanks to well-maintained gravel roads. The walleye fishing was exceptional: most days we caught over 50 fish, averaging 50 cm in size. We also caught several walleyes measuring between 58 and 63 cm. If you are looking for northern pike, you will also find them in abundance. In addition to this spectacular fishing, you will be rewarded with beautiful scenery (moose, bears, loons, wilderness, stars, northern lights, rainbows, etc.) and the calling of loons from sunrise to sunset. We had a great stay and will gladly come back! If you are looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure in a well-maintained resort with modern equipment, I recommend booking your stay at O’Sullivan’s Rainbow today!
