Here is where you’ll find phenomenal walleye, smallmouth bass, and northern pike fishing. Numerous weedy bays, countless islands and miles of deep cool moving water provide the perfect backdrop for your Canadian fishing trip.

Historical landmark of Halley’s Camps

The Landing was considered the gateway to the English River for the Halley family and Halley’s Camps. Halley’s Camps was started in 1946 in Kenora, Ontario but in 1963, grandpa Louie Halley started using the ‘Landing’ as a parking spot basically to get fishermen to Kettle Falls Lodge. Louie would boat American guests to Kettle Falls to experience some great walleye and northern fishing. Eventually Louie and Yvonne created a store with a small campground at Caribou Falls Landing where they started expanding over the years with rental cabins for fishermen. With the aging of Louis and Yvonne, came changes as Gene and Wanda ran Caribou Falls Landing for years until their son, Chris and his wife, Amber took over in 2002.

The cabins are modernized and are fully equipped with a kitchen that has a stove, refrigerator, microwave and all the kitchen utensils and dishes. Outside of each cabin we do provide a charcoal barbecue. We have box spring beds giving fisherman a great night’s sleep. For those cool evenings, there are electric baseboard heaters in the cabins. The cabins are cleaned in between parties and we provide fresh linens such as sheets and towels. We have many comforts of home such as hot and cold running water, and in each of the cabins we furnish 1-2 bathrooms with flushing toilets, and either walk in showers or tub/surround shower.  Each cabin has a private deck allowing fisherman to watch the beautiful Canadian sunsets. There is also furniture to gather on and around to swap fishing tales after a day’s fish. Fishermen will be quite cozy at Caribou Falls Landing.

Our large fleet of rental boats consist of new 18’ Lund Alaskan boats with 50hp 4-stroke Mercury motors. These boats have flat bottom floors granting lots of legroom, live well and bait well, plenty of storage compartments, depth finder, splash guards, padded pedestal swivel seats, and come equipped with paddle, landing net, minnow bucket, life jackets, and a safety kit. The motors are exceptionally quiet and very fuel efficient. These are the same boats as our guides use and we do not use trolling motors as you can adjust the RPM on the motor for your trolling and back trolling option. The motors are easy to use with the electric start and trim for your convenience. The boats are best suited for 3 people but can accommodate up to 4 fishermen.
