Over 90% of our guests are repeat clients, year after year. That
says something. Why look elsewhere when Slate Falls Outposts has over 20
years of proven track record that delivers every time. Great fishing,
organized and reliable transportation to and from your cabin and owners
that care about your holiday.
The Lake Selection:
Eagle Island and Root Bay cover the entire west end of Lake St. Joseph.
Imagine a Lac Seul sized lake with hardly anyone fishing it! Huge
pike and walleye of all sizes inhabit this 80 mile long lake.
Minniss is another large lake just south of St. Joe that has hundreds of
islands, 2 river inflows and dozens of creeks feeding in to it.
Deep in places it is ideal trophy pike habitat that has abundant walleye
as well.
Maskara is a smaller, exclusive 3 lake system where you can enjoy
beautiful sunsets, lots of walleye action and the peace and quiet of
having a lake chain all to your self.

The Way it Was vs. The Way it is
Slate Falls
Outposts was founded in 1986 by Verne and Andrea. Cabins in the early
years were 16’ X 20” chipboard buildings with “foamies” for mattresses,
manual hand pumps for water (if you were lucky), boat cushions, coleman
lanterns and you got to cut up your own firewood with a swede saw.
Jump
forward 20 years and we now have solid log cabins, solar powered hot and
cold running water and electric lights, flush toilets, board walks from
the boat slips to the cabins, separate bedrooms with regular mattresses,
swivel boat seats with backs and the firewood is cut up and stacked by
the cabin. Yes indeed, things have changed for the better and you can
spend a quality week on the lake without “roughing” it too hard. We
also learned from our mistakes in the past about fish handling where
stringers of big fish were the norm. Now, the fishing experience is all
about small ones for the pan and the big ones back in the lake to
reproduce more small ones. Fishing is better now for big fish than it
was 20 years ago!
Gee Verne, you never told us that we
would struggle to catch fish that we could eat, lots of fish but all
too big for the 18 inch rule, but, it was a ton of fun catching 20
to 23 inch walleyes all day long just the same.
