Green Island Lodge is a fly-in American Plan fishing lodge on Upper Manitou Lake in Northwestern Ontario. It is a strong fit for anglers who want a full-service remote trip with their travel, lodging, meals, boats, fuel, and fish processing coordinated from one operator.
Guests begin at the operator’s base in Fort Frances, Ontario, near International Falls, Minnesota. Green Island Lodge states that it flies guests approximately 65 air miles to the lodge, where staff assist with gear and cabin arrival. This is a practical option for groups that want remote water without organizing their own aircraft transfer.
Upper Manitou Lake provides approximately 32,000 acres of fishing water. The lodge promotes trophy fishing for muskie, northern pike, walleye, lake trout, and smallmouth bass. Guests can select a guided or self-guided plan, making Green Island suitable for groups that either want experienced help on unfamiliar water or prefer to fish independently.
Published American Plan fishing packages include round-trip airfare from Fort Frances, a private cabin, meals, boat, motor, fuel, and fish processing. Packages are based on two anglers per boat. Green Island also accommodates larger groups, family reunions, and corporate retreats, with published capacity for groups of up to 28 guests.
Green Island Lodge is connected with the Rusty Myers fly-in outpost program, although the main lodge and outposts are separate stay styles. Confirm your preferred plan, guide arrangement, cabin layout, baggage guidance, group size, licence needs, and current package terms before booking.
