Anglers Kingdom: A Premier Fishing Destination on Nungesser Lake

For avid anglers seeking an unparalleled fishing experience in the heart of Canada's wilderness, Anglers Kingdom on Nungesser Lake offers the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and world-class fishing.

Location and Accessibility

Nestled approximately 30 miles northeast of Red Lake, Ontario, Nungesser Lake spans nearly 30,000 acres with endless bays, weed beds, reefs, and islands. This expansive body of water serves as the headwater of the Gull Rock Lake chain, making it a prime location for walleye and northern pike. At Anglers' Kingdom, you can literally catch and release hundreds of fish every day. 

Anglers' Kingdom is uniquely situated in the Canadian wilderness, and part of the fun is getting to camp from Red Lake.  A 30-mile drive on Nungesser Lake Road to the Nungesser River bridge gets you to the landing, where lodge staff will meet you and escort you the rest of the way to the lodge. You can also take a floatplane into the lodge if you wish.

Nungesser Lake's dark waters are fed by over 20 rivers and creeks, creating ideal spawning grounds for fish. The lake's structure includes extensive rock and sand shorelines, mid-lake reefs, deep channels, and shallow bays abundant with lush vegetation. These features collectively support an abundant forage, leading to a high-quality walleye and pike fishery.
