We have spent a wonderful week among the helpful and happy people of Uchi Lake Resort. The fishing has been great, many, many walleyes and northern pike. Many days we caught 25 walleyes in less than tWO hours and then threw for northern pike until shore lunch. Lunch on the island prepared is to perfection! The biggest walleye this week was 25 inches and the biggest northern was 39. If you are considering a trip to Uchi Lake Lodge here is our advice, SET THE HOOK!!!

Weather has been typically unpredictable, but the bite has remained consistent. Lots of walleye between 14 and 19 with a couple 20+. About 12 northern over 30 inches in the last 3 days. 38, 36, 4-35’s… still shooting for 40.
Fishing at Uchi Lake is a dream come true. It is the best of several worlds. My wife and I recently completed our second trip to Uchi, and enjoyed it even more than the first trip. The walleye fishing is fantastic. The two of us caught more than 500 walleyes in the 7 days we spent at Uchi. The size of the fish is amazing! About one third of the walleyes we caught on this trip were 20 inches or greater in length. And boy, were they ever fat. The fish at Uchi must be on a high protein diet, because they were both good size and good fighters. The service we received from Judy and her staff was top notch. I believe you would be hard-pressed to find any better service at any fishing camp in Ontario. The bottom line is “They take care of you!” I would recommend Uchi Lake Lodge to anyone who is considering a fishing trip to Canada. They provide you with the complete Canadian fishing experience that all of us are after. Yes, we booked next year’s trip to Uchi before we left. We couldn’t bear the thought of missing a week in fishing heaven. Thanks again, and we will see you next June!
Fished July 21-25,2010 party of 4 averaged over 130 northern per day with 12 over 30″ and one 42″ by Billy.
Judy and Uchi Lake Lodge staff were great as usual as well as the food
Just finished my ten day trip at UCHI. I was here as a single, however you are never alone. I met some fine folks from all over the U.S. There was Roger and Jim from New Mexico. Two great guys to fish with and two of the nicest lawyers you will ever met. The Missouri Boys who I showed a spot to fish, and they finished with a larger walleye then me. A special thanks to Dave Sorenson who showed me how to “correctly” fish in the weeds. And the camp and staff was superior as usual. The fishing was great too. I finished with 35 walleyes over 24 inches The largest walleye being 29 inches. I had three bonus pike (38,39 and 40 inch) as well. You will be hard pressed to find a better trophy walleye lake than UCHI. The fact that it is a catch and release, barb-less hook and a strict size limit make it a truly one of a kind lake.
The evening of June 28, 2010, starting at 7:30 P.M. until 9:25 P.M., I caught a 34″ Pike, a 25″ Walleye, a 27.5″ Walleye, a 28″ Walleye and a 29″ Walleye, all on an orange roadrunner jig and minnow. The fish were incredibly fat! UCHI Lake is the best walleye lake ever!

Fish this morning and was windy, caught 20 walleye, and hooked a 26 inch walleye. After a great shorelunch with potatoe salad, went down to the south end of Uchi to fish. Ran into Bill Duran a veteran of Uchi, asked how the fishing was going. He said help yourself and fish this spot as he had caught several large ones with jig and minnow - I landed 29 1/2 inch walleye.
This being the biggest walleye I’ve caught, then started to run out of minnows so put a white twister tail on, then the very next cast landed a 28 inch walleye in the same hole.
So within 5 minutes, we landed safely a 29 1/2 inch walleye and a 28 inch walleye.
What a day - great day.
We’re back for the twelfth year: fishing, eating and laughing at Uchi! Judy continues to run a fun camp that we first came to because of good Canadian fishing and good food… and a bathroom! We keep coming back for those reasons, all the friends we have made … and new friends we meet every year. The weather is always changing and the fish are always moving…new hot spots change daily but with so many fish each trip out on the lake is a ball as is the adventure of traveling the river to fish Leg Lake… come give it a try… we’re looking forward to meeting you next year!
The two of us have had another fantastic week here at Uchi. The fishing was absolutely excellent. Today alone, the two of us caught 85 walleyes in the morning and afternoon. Today they preferred floating jig heads of various colors in 5 to 8 feet of water. Wednesday, when the two of us caught 100 walleye, they preferred Husky Jerks in 4 to 6 feet of water. Part of the great fun in fishing Uchi, is the fact that many different modes of fishing are successful. When you come to Uchi, be sure to bring a variety of different walleye catching tackle with you, because many different methods are successful, which makes it even more fun. The staff at Uchi are extremely helpful and provide a very high level of customer service. Great job to Judy, Bertha, Brenda, Richard and Larry!
