Fishing at Rowdy Lake Camp

Dave Koch 41in Pike The camp is located on Rowdy Lake which is part of the Sturgeon River system. On the north end of the lake, majestic Sydney Falls flows in creating magnificent scenery and spectacular fishing. You don’t know if your next cast will be a trophy Walleye, a monster Pike or a Feisty Bass. The north end of the lake is dotted with several islands, lots of bays and creeks providing a great fish habitat. The southern part of the lake winds around with more islands and is the deepest part of the lake. Here you will find more Lake Trout and lots of Walleye, Pike and Bass. Please see our 4 remote walk-in lakes for more fishing options.
