Northwest Flying Inc. is a Nestor Falls, Ontario air service and fly-in fishing operator that has served Northwestern Ontario since 1963. It is a fit for anglers and groups looking for a self-guided outpost experience, a remote camping trip, or charter transportation by floatplane.
The operation has five major outposts on Ajax, Cleftrock, Gordon, Kishkutena, and Loonhaunt lakes. Each location is accessible only by floatplane and is within roughly a 20-minute flight from the Nestor Falls base, giving guests a remote setting without a long flight from camp headquarters.
The fishing program covers five core species: walleye, northern pike, musky, bass, and lake trout. The individual outposts are on different lakes and differ in layout, capacity, surrounding water, and access to additional fishing areas, so the best selection depends on a group’s size and target species.
Northwest Flying’s outpost cabins are newer, fully equipped accommodations with solar power, backup generators, wood heat, running hot and cold water, indoor showers, kitchens, large refrigerators or freezers, and the cooking equipment needed for a housekeeping trip. Boats and motors are included at the outposts.
For guests who prefer a simpler wilderness experience, the operator also offers fly-in camping to selected private lakes with boat caches. Before booking any Northwest Flying trip, confirm the chosen outpost or camping lake, passenger and gear weights, packing requirements, grocery planning, fishing licences, flight timing, and current weather procedures.
