Allanwater Bridge Lodge is located on Lake Kawaweogama, illustrated in the photo above and to the right. Allanwater Lodge is the only lodge on a highly productive fishery called the 'Allanwaters' which is located within the Wabakimi Provincial Park. The Allanwaters fishery is comprised of a chain of many lakes, all with a constant current running through them. The Allanwasters fishery is about seventeen miles long, four to ten miles wide and populated with hundreds of islands, shoals, bays and points.
Truly 'spectacular' northern Ontario trophy walleye fishing, northern pike fishing and lake trout fishing is sought after by many but found by few. To find a unique northern Ontario walleye fishery you must locate an 'undiscovered', fishery that produces larger fish. The Allanwaters fishery defies comparison in size and quality. Allanwater Lodge has protected their exclusive fishery for over thirty years. Many northern Ontario walleye trophy sized fish are caught but not often taken from the fishery! Catch and consume, catch and release, are the order of the day. You simply could not keep all the walleye and northern pike you catch even if limits didn't apply. You will be encourage to photograph the trophies and release them to spawn a new generation of lunkers.
The Allanwaters is fed by two river systems that flow through the lakes, delivering an overabundance of food that feeds all levels of the food chain, including the game fish. A submerged gravel esker runs down the middle of the main fishery providing enough gravel under moving water to support spawning grounds of mythical proportions.
Over thousands of years, the constant food supply has helped the Allanwaters walleye and pike to grow stronger and larger. Natural selection has created a gene pool of walleye and northern pike that grow faster and larger than one would expect to find in an ordinary fishery. The fishery has never been exploited. Every year, only a few lucky fishermen can experience walleye and northern pike fishing that is better than anywhere else in northern Ontario, Canada or the world. The lodge offers six fishing cabins which are available on a weekly basis between May and September. There are no other camps on the Allanwaters fishery.
The Allanwaters fishery has been protected by the operators of the only lodge for about forty years. Allanwater Lodge owner , Barney Jelinski started practicing conservation to save his fishery about forty years ago. Today, Barney's son John, the current operator of the lodge, carries on the conservation management tradition with the continuing help of his father Barney who is still to be found at the lodge any day during the season. Even forty years ago, the fishing on the Allanwaters was as good as in the time before man. Today the walleye and northern pike fishing is even better.
