Seagrave Lake Outpost

KaBeeLo Lodge, a family-run fly-in fishing and hunting outfitter based near Ear Falls, Ontario, has been operating since the early 1970s and carries a strong reputation built over decades of repeat visitors. The overwhelming majority of reviews are highly positive, with guests frequently returning year after year — some for 10, 20, 35, or even 40-plus years. The Lohn family (Harald, Ann, Erik, and Alysson) and their staff are consistently cited as a standout strength of the operation, with guests describing them as warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making each trip successful. The lodge offers both base camp stays and fly-out outpost cabin experiences, with turbine seaplanes providing transport to remote lakes. Multiple reviewers note the operation runs smoothly and feels well-organized from the planning stage through departure.

Guests consistently praise the quality of fishing, particularly for walleye and northern pike, with catch counts of 50 to 100 fish per day commonly reported at outpost lakes. Lake trout fishing at certain locations is also highlighted. The outpost cabins receive strong marks for comfort — hot showers, solar-powered refrigeration, bug-proof construction, and well-stocked kitchens are regularly mentioned. Food at the main lodge, including fresh-baked bread and homemade desserts, draws specific praise. Guests taking the outpost option note that cabins are typically stocked with food provisions, though a few reviewers mention the quantities can run light for large or hungry groups, and one guest noted food was not included for an add-on day they had paid for. Tips from multiple reviewers suggest bringing supplemental items like butter, cream, or extra food if needed.

There is one notable negative review describing a moose hunt experience (dated September 2018) in which the guest reported serious concerns: inadequate food provisions, a guide who allegedly engaged in unsafe and potentially illegal practices, and a dispute over a promised refund that was ultimately not honored. This review stands apart from the otherwise uniformly positive feedback and is worth noting for prospective hunters booking guided packages. No other reviewers raise safety or guiding concerns, and the complaints about food quantity in other reviews are minor by comparison. KaBeeLo appears best suited for groups of fishing buddies, couples, and families — including those with young children or less experienced anglers — who want a comfortable, well-supported remote fly-in experience focused primarily on walleye and northern pike fishing. It is also a reasonable choice for first-time fly-in guests given the organized logistics and hands-on staff. Those booking hunting packages, particularly guided hunts, may want to ask detailed questions about guide qualifications and what is included before committing.
