Fishing at Lake Despair Lodge
We have excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, perch and lake trout.

Walleye Fishing
There is nothing like the taste of fresh walleye at shore lunch. The Lake Despair, Footprint and Jackfish Lake system has been called one of the best natural walleye producing fisheries in the Rainy River District.

Northern Pike Fishing
For those who like the fight of huge Northerns such as these (40 inches is common), Lake Despair is the place to be.
Check out our special Northern Fishing Package on our Rates page.

Bass Fishing
There's nothing like the feeling of hooking into one of the many, scrappy small-mouth bass that are abundant in these lakes.
