Mojikit Channel (Mojikit Lake / Ogoki Reservoir)

History of Mojikit Lake

In 1939 as a part of Canada’s contribution to the war effort it was decided that to produce more electricity for industry it would be necessary to divert part of the northerly flow of the Ogoki south to control the water levels on lake Nipigon. In doing so there would be a more reliable water supply for the dams on the Nipigon River. It was quite the effort but three years later in 1942 they closed the gates and the rest is – as they say – history. When you fly in it is still possible to see some of the remnants of horse trails built in the 30′s.

Over 40 miles end to end, we now have this magnificent 60,000 plus acre sportsman’s waterway. Where the Ogoki Reservoir meets Mojikit Lake is the sheltered Mojikit Channel. What was a fall of 20 feet is now the fast water that flows past our two beautiful camps. Relax. We are talking current that walleye love not white water.

As for the fishing; Big walleye is probably the best way to describe it. Folks are generally absolutely delighted at the size of the walleye, and for the Pike hunters 30 inch plus is the starting point.

The original Channel camp

This is the original Channel camp just around the corner (1/3 mile) from the south camp. But, it looks nothing like the original. The cabin has been doubled in size.

From the trademark Orange steel roof it has been modernized and has everything the South camp has except it is a little smaller. This camp is nestled in the tall jack pines and has an impressive view of Ogoki Reservoir. This area is home to one of the largest herds of the protected Woodland caribou. (Not to be confused with barren ground caribou) Don’t be surprised if a couple swim in front of you. And the fishing? We don’t call Mojikit Channel the fish factory for no reason. The walleye fishing is nothing short of spectacular and the northern pike are very well fed, if you know what I mean.

This camp comfortably accommodates eight. There a four 16′ deluxe Lunds with 15 hp 4 stroke outboards.

Raising the Bar

The South camp was newly constructed in 2001. Big, impressive and well thought out is the best way to describe this structure. From the 15 foot cathedral ceilings to the stand up bar we designed the camp with the big group in mind. New oversized chest freezer .. two refrigerators .. 2 futons .. two six foot dinning tables and a Motorola radio-phone. The lights are solar as is the water system. Enjoy cocktails – bug free – in the screened in porch. A picture is worth a thousand words. The wilderness bar has been raised.

We use deluxe 16′ Lunds with 15 hp 4 stroke outboards and there are 4 of them.

• Large 1 frame cabin with screened in porch (8′x12′)
