Fishing Weather:

Although we are fortunate to have prosperous fishing throughout the entire season, the weather can be changeable in Northern Ontario. As such it is important to ensure you have the right gear to ensure safety and enjoyment to the fullest.  In May, the weather may be cool so plan on bringing clothing that you can layer and remove or add to as necessary.  From mid June to mid August, warmer weather usually prevails and this can be a terrific time to enjoy the cool waters of Kaby Lake.  From mid to end of August, the weather is usually mild but can change quickly, so come prepared.  In September the north wind arrives and can bring everything from warm temperatures to snow.  It is always necessary to bring good quality rain gear and footwear with you.

Canada Customs Information:

After June 1, 2009 all American citizens will need a valid passport to return to the U.S. Please take a moment to visit the Canadian Customs Website to ensure that you have all the required paperwork for your trip to Kaby Lodge.
