The Fishing

Sim Lake is known for its walleye and northern pike populations. The lake features extensive shorelines with sharp breaks, numerous mid-lake islands, and countless bays with structural points that are suited to varied fishing approaches. Additional species present in the lake include whitefish, yellow perch, white sucker, and cisco (lake herring). All fishing is self-guided, with guests exploring the lake independently using the boats provided at camp.

The outpost cabin on Sim Lake is an eight-person facility equipped with solar lighting, a propane refrigerator and stove, hot and cold running water, an in-cabin shower, a BBQ, a fish fryer, and a large screened-in porch.
