Nous revenons tout juste d'un séjour de pêche de cinq jours sur le lac Kipawa, au Loon and Eagle. Le Loon & Eagle est un charmant petit pourvoyeur niché dans une baie tranquille. Chris était extrêmement sympathique et accueillant. La route était très facile à suivre et bien entretenue. Ils disposent également d'une rampe de mise à l'eau en béton, ce qui est très pratique si vous avez votre propre bateau. Nous y étions à la mi-juin et le doré jaune était difficile à pêcher, alors nous nous sommes tournés vers l'achigan, qui était au rendez-vous en grande quantité. C'était vraiment génial !

Nous avons passé notre première semaine à Loon and Eagle Outfitters en août 2025. Chris et Vivian ont été des hôtes exceptionnels. Leur emplacement sur le lac Kipawa est idéal pour se déconnecter du travail et s'évader du quotidien. Le calme absolu et l'immensité du lac Kipawa donnent envie de rester au chalet. Vous n'aurez aucune raison de quitter les lieux avant la fin de vos vacances. Il est conseillé de partir en bateau, que ce soit le vôtre ou l'un de ceux mis à disposition par Chris et Vivian. Pêcher quotidiennement les nombreuses espèces de poissons qui peuplent les eaux poissonneuses du lac Kipawa a été une excellente façon de profiter de ce magnifique paysage aquatique. Naviguer en canoë dans les nombreuses baies autour de Loon and Eagle nous a permis de passer de la pêche sportive à la photographie de paysages à couper le souffle. Comme mentionné précédemment, c'était notre première visite à Loon and Eagle Outfitters. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter pour passer une autre semaine avec Chris et Vivian. Ils sont tous deux tellement accueillants et nous ont vraiment donné l'impression d'être chez des amis, dans leur chalet. Nous avions tout le confort nécessaire et toute l'intimité souhaitée. Même sur le lac Kipawa, il était rare de croiser un autre bateau pour pêcher. Nous avons pêché tous les jours et n'avons vu que quelques autres bateaux en sept jours. Il n'y a jamais eu de situation où quelqu'un d'autre occupait l'endroit que nous avions choisi pour tenter notre chance à la pêche de notre poisson préféré : le doré jaune ! Un grand merci à Chris et Vivian pour cette semaine de vacances extraordinaire. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié leurs précieux conseils sur la région. Nous avons hâte de passer une autre semaine chez Loon and Eagle Outfitters. Nos premières vacances au Québec ont été formidables !

J'ai passé un séjour fantastique à Loon and Eagle Outfitters durant l'été 2024. Bien plus qu'une simple partie de pêche, ce fut une expérience profondément marquante. Je me suis fiancé là-bas, j'ai passé de merveilleux moments avec ma belle-famille et j'ai pêché des poissons plus gros que je n'aurais jamais osé espérer ! Ce qui rend cet endroit vraiment exceptionnel, ce sont les propriétaires, Chris et Viv. Ils vous accueillent comme si vous étiez de la famille dès votre arrivée et, pour nous, ils en font partie. Toujours prêts à donner des conseils utiles, des astuces de pêche et même à partager leurs projets pour le camp, ils se mettent en quatre pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable. P.S. J'espère y être l'été prochain, en 2026 ! J'ai hâte ! Je m'excuse de n'avoir pas pu venir cette année en raison de blessures au bras contractées au travail.

Great week @ Loon & Eagle! Chris & Viv were wonderful hosts at main lodge cabins. Docking, launch, bush road, & parking made it great destination to bring a few of our own boats. Cabins were adequate with limited electricity and a tiny bit of cell service and wifi. Fryers, cutlery, dishes, pots/pans, storage all there in cabins. Our garbage was looked after by the outfitter which was an unexpected perk. Bringing a generator was definitely a good idea. Rental boats were great. Fishing was good. Hard to say how a week or two would have changed this as we had a very cold spring.Walleye were not plentiful but size were incredible and we found it tough to catch small enough fish to be in the slot size. Pike were caught but tough to locate or pattern. Lakers were there and catchable but mostly below slot size. Small mouth bass were everywhere, big and easy to catch. Lake Kipawa is beautiful, deep and safe. Bugs were bad at shore but fine on the water. Hope to return in 2026!

2024: Another great trip to the Loon and Eagle. The fishing was excellent and we really enjoyed getting away, immersed in nature. We regularly crossed paths with 3 resident beaver on the way to our favorite fishing area. There were plenty of loons, a couple of ermine and a moose! The Loon and Eagle is one of our favorite places to visit. As always, Chris and Vivian were fantastic hosts and helped make our stay very comfortable. 2023: Chris and Vivian are terrific hosts that enjoy sharing their wilderness paradise. The cabin was clean and comfortable with new fridge and stove. All equipment (fishing boats, kayaks, canoe ) are fully equipped and in great condition. Fish were biting all weekend that we were there. All in all a great family experience. We all wished we could stay longer. Highly recommended. We're already planning to visit again.
