    Fantastic vacation: a must do experience…read more Short Story: - Incredible beauty and unique fishing opportunity. - Great service from start to finish - Fun way to disconnect and get some serious fishing Long Story: If you don't have a vacation like this in your repertoire, go ahead and book something through Northwest Flying. It's an unmatched getaway with an emphasis on being out in Canada's great outdoors. - Trip Prep: Sent a few emails to NWF via the address on their website. Answered promptly each time. Worked out pricing timing and location within a few days. Very easy to work with. - The Fly Out: Greeted by NWF pilots bursting with enthusiasm in an almost creepy way. Stepped out of the car, loaded and up in the air in 30 minutes. No joke. - Cabin Check In: Cabin at Kishkutena (sp) lake was in great shape. Hot water, shower, stove, refrigerator and beds: sleeps 6 comfortably, 3 awesome boats with swivel seats. Kish is a Great Lake: bass muskie and lake trout. - Pick Up: Pilot arrived a little early and ready to help load plane. Gear up and headed back in 20 min flat. Landed back in Nestor Falls in 20 min. Greeted by friendly NWF employees to help you load your car. Highest possible recommendation. Put this trip in your vacation arsenal. Let NWF be the ones to make it easy for you.

    STAY AWAY!! Called Northwest Flying, Nestor Falls in May 2014 to ask about day trip fly-in lakes…read morefor fishing. I said it would be for one person. They said no issues. They would get me in - just call a couple days before my trip. I call them on June 11, saying I want to do two fly outs one on Fri and one on Sat. They say come in, once I arrive in Nestor Falls. I come in to their office and float plane base, and they don't yet know the schedule for Fri, but I should talk to Kelly at Kelly's Castaways (not sure why Shane is telling me to talk with Kelly, as he does the fly-outs). I talk with Kelly on Thurs, and he says he is going to Shingwak on Sat, and he has just three parties going out, so there is room for one. I go back to the float plane base, and discuss with Shane. He puts me in his book, and says to be at the float plane base on Sat at between 6:30am to 6:45am. I go to the float plane base on Sat at 6:30, and they tell me to go down to Kelly's Castaway's for pick-up there. I drive down, and unload my gear. Kelly comes to tell me he booked another party, and now there is no room for me. I say I was just at the float plane base, and they told me to come down here. He said I must have talked with Shane's father. So no day trip for me, and too late to book another. Very POOR operation, customer service, bad attitude and run around. I should have used Nestor Falls Fly-In Outpost instead. STAY AWAY

    I am writing this about the restaurant only. I come here a couple times a year (spring and fall)…read morefor lunch and dinners for several years now. The menu has not changed in the years I have been coming here. They have a couple vegetarian options (grilled cheese on kids menu, cheese pizza) and no vegan options. The salad bar is lackluster; my vegetarian friend took one look and said "Uh no thanks" which was my thought too when I looked at it previously. The dining room and bar areas are nice and clean, bathrooms are clean and you can see into the kitchen which also looks clean. The food is good, not amazing. The service in the bar and dining room is great and friendly. The views are great from the bar and dining room looking at the Rainy River. They have a nice patio to enjoy when the weather and bugs are cooperating.

    Six experiences since 2011, five summer and one winter. All were fantastic, except maybe the -30…read moredegree winter one. Full disclosure: I hate winter anyway but wanted to experience winter fishing at least once ! Our guides were always cheery and pleasant, even when they would have to keep replacing the many jigs we kept losing in the rocks. Shore luches were always a necessity. Dining room meals were always great, the portions hearty, and staff friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, fish are not guaranteed, but a great time is! Whenever I hear of someone headed to LOTW for fishing, I try to steer them to Ballard's. Fish on!

    Ballard's Resort - The fishing "limo" also known as a bombardier. Very toasty. The guides drive and give fishing instructions.
