Burnie Lake Gets Long Lake Cabin

All will agree Keewatinkinokumaw is one long name for a lake. The name is Cree and is a reference to the incredible fishery. To ensure no one experiences vocalizational distress, we have nicknamed it “Long Lake.”

Long Lake is definitely a huge bonus to the incredible fishing already at Burnie Lake. This 18 mile long stretch of the North Seal is a snapshot of the incredible angling quality and diversity the system is known for.  Phenomenal fishing for all species, big pike, walleye, lake trout, and arctic grayling. The laker and grayling fishery is an unexplored dynamic with rumors of 90’ depths, and 30 lb. lakers. The stretch of rapids at the North end of Long is said to host 20”plus grayling. Up until now, Burnie guests have been able to fish Long on daily portage trips. The only negative is the lake is so large, the potential so huge, day trips just don’t afford Burnie guests a chance to truly experience all the great angling this incredible waterway offers. 



In 2009 Burnie guests will get their chance. Plans are now underway to build a small overnight cabin on Long Lake. This will allow Burnie guests to enjoy two consecutive days of angling here, a chance to really explore more of Northern Canada’s finest water. The cabin will have two sets of bunks, sleeping bags, radio contact with Burnie, and a small cooking area with staples, enabling comfortable overnights and two full days of angling.

Burnie Lake is a great outpost with a devoted following of anglers.  With the addition of the cabin on Long Lake, it will be an outpost destination tough to match!
