Another great week at Uchi Lake. The two of us caught 552 Walleye, 23 Northern and 4 Perch in six days fishing. This included 12 Walleye over 20″ and 3-31″ Northerns. Judy and her staff were outstanding and really took care of us.

We are counting the days till August ‘09 when Uchi will be our home again for a week.

We are a party of 25 that have been coming to Uchi for 20 yrs. The guys come from as far as California and Floria. This has been a family tradition and has grown into more than that over the past several years. This year was in memory of one of my best friends, Tom Nash who had passed at a young age due to cancer. His memories will go on, as his last words to me was to make sure his brother and future son-in-law could make the trip. Well, they made it!!
The fishing was outstanding and the hospitality was equal! I personally have known Judy for years’ and her catch and release program has certainly paid off. I can only speak for my experience in the boat with my son in law (Kevin), and good friend Jeff. It was a fishing experience of my life! In five days of fishing we caught in excess of 18 walleys over 25″. This was a first for me: Jeff and I had 2-25″ walleys on (Two Fer!!) I had done this on several occassions in the past, but not two 25″s!!
All in all the fishing was outstanding!!
I could go on with the stories, but like all fisherman, you would have had to been here to believe the stories.
We had a great time and wish to thank Judy and her crew!!!

Thanks again for another great trip at Uchi, it was our 13th. As always the fishing and hospitality was excellent. Both the Northern and Walleye fishing was great. We caught 7 Northern over 34″ with the biggest being a 40″ caught by 13 year-old Jack. We also caught plenty of Walleye over 22″. Looking forward to next year…Fish On!

Hi Judy,

This is just a note from our group to thank you and Bertha, Brenda, Jeff and Larry for another great year of fishing and eating. Your staff was ever gracious and extremely helpful throughout our June, 2008 week and the fishing continued to be wonderful. Although we were down to only four guys this year, we still caught 100’s of walleyes with 43 of them over 20 inches and at least a 100 northerns with 28 of them over 26 inches in length, including two 38” and our biggest fish, a 42 inch northern caught by Don Eisen, which weighed more than 22 pounds. The real topper for the week though was what happened on what turned out to be our very last cast of the trip. Three of us had already pulled in our lines and were ready to head back to pack up, but Don Eisen, the elder statesman of our group, still had his line in the water and hooked a shore lunch sized walleye. After setting the hook and getting the fish to the surface, Don turned to me and said, “ I can’t believe this. The only way I’ll ever catch a big one today is if something big hits this little one.” No sooner had he said this than a 38 inch northern came up and clobbered his walleye and wouldn’t let go!!! Don inched both fish closer and closer to the boat and I managed to net both of them at the same time. What a fitting end to a terrific week. Thanks again for your hospitality and we’ll see you next year.

Judy,

I just wanted to say thank you for an excellent experience hunting at Uchi Lake Lodge. As you are aware, my party and I have hunted in Ontario for the past 3 years with another outfitter, and we researched your location thouroughly before agreeing to hunt with you. We can honestly say your lodge blew away the competition, and that our hunting trip was far better than we could have expected. The service of your guides, the food, the cabins, and of course, the wildlife at Uchi was better than we expected it to be. I would be happy to be a reference for you to anyone interested in considering your location for a moose hunt. After seeing over 22 moose in 4 days, compared to 2 - 3 moose over 7 days at the other 3 locations we hunted with other Ontario outfitters, anyone looking for a quality hunt should definately consider Uchi Lake. I have attached a few photos from our camera’s for you. Feel free to use them on your webpage if you would like.

Thanks Again

I can’t tell you how greatful I am to receive my lost ring back. Not only does Uchi Lake have the best fishing in Canada, but the Lodge and crew are the most professional and honest people around. That ring meant a lot to me Judy, and I really appreciate you finding it and sending it back.

I’ve always been a great ambassador for Uchi Lake Lodge and will continue to do so.

Hello! I wanted to drop you a letter and let you know what a terrific time Jason and I had at Uchi Lake Lodge. I’ve been to many different lodges, but never have my expectations been surpassed like they were by you and your staff.
