Are you hooked on fishing? Get hooked on the Wolseley Lodge, great fishing at the French River.
We offer outstanding Spring Fishing. The Wolseley Lodge is located at the mouth of the Wolseley River one of the major spawning grounds for the Walleye, Northern Pike and Muskie at our part of the French River.
The French River has a well deserved reputation for first class fishing since many decades. The French River is a series of island dotted lakes connected by rapids. More than 95% of the shore line is untouched and protected by the French River Provincial Parkland, Dokies Indian Reserve and Crown Land. 2 rapids are coming down into, and 3 rapids are leaving our area which is a 25 km long part of the French River and the 5 km long Wolseley Bay. The Wolseley Lodge takes care of the serious fishing people. We offer nice clean cabins, a restaurant and the most modern fleet of fishing boats (2004 Models) at the French River, all with electric start motors and live wells. We also provide you with updated shore line maps with all the hot spots you need to know.
Think about your spring fishing trip...... you are entering your boat in the early morning ..everything prepared... Yes! Of you go with your buddies looking fir the first Walleye and pike of ... ==>
