Ice Fishing Package Kashaga Lodge offers 8 heated huts, all within a 3 to a 10 minute walk from the cottages, and located on what is arguably the best walleye bay in
Lake Kashagawigamog, or the whole five-lake chain for that matter. Other than the accommodations the package includes a heated hut with augered holes in and around it, and the hut fee is only $10 per person per day. Minnows are available on site at $5 per 20. For those with their own augers, spuds, and scoops, the minnows are free. All the cottages have a barbecue, and it can be delivered to your hut if desired.
For the winter of 2008, MarCum "ice machine" flashers are available to rent at $25 per day. These fishfinder units add a whole new dimension to the hardwater experience. Another added feature this winter is the availability of guiding on Lake Kashagawigamog as well as many other lakes in Haliburton County. For more info on guiding, contact Joe at joemerritt2003@yahoo.com .
There's a plowed walking trail to all the huts, and transportation is provided for those who need it. Kashaga Lodges ice fishing package includes a wide choice of housekeeping cottages and suites as well as use of the heated huts. Larger groups may be interested in renting the entire five units of the lodge at a special discounted rate.
Since Kashaga Lodge is the closest resort to the town of Haliburton, just 4 km up the highway, fishermen are never far from the conveniences of town. Groceries, coffee shops, beer and liquor stores, restaurants and bars as well as fishing supplies are just a five minute drive away.
March '07 was the most productive hardwater walleye month ever from the Kashaga ice huts. Since the introduction of the this most popular game fish to Lake Kashagawigamog
decades ago, the fishery gets better every year. NOTE: Haliburton is a unique part of Ontario, relatively unspoiled by over-development or over-fishing. It's lakes are pristine, and benefit from various
MNR lake management programs. Any violation of hut rules or other irresponsible fishing from Kashaga Lodge huts will not be tolerated. Conservation Officers frequent the huts, and the hut operator does not hesitate to report violators to the authorities. Be aware that the new Fishing Regs for 2008 have come into effect. These include 3 significant changes for Lake Kashagawigamog:
Limit (with a sportsman's licence) is 4 walleye, only one of which may be over 18 inches. (Otherwise, no slot.)
The walleye season now closes March 15, (not March 31 as previously.)
Lake Kashagawigamog is now a TWO-LINE LAKE, not one-line as before. So bring your tip-ups along with your jigging rods!!!
