Shabumeni Lake Fly-In Fishing Outpost For Sale — Northern Ontario
At $195,000, this is one of the most straightforward entry points into the Northern Ontario fly-in outpost market. Shabumeni Lake sits 60 air miles northeast of Ear Falls — remote enough to guarantee the kind of wilderness isolation that serious fishing clients pay for, but well within floatplane range of established charter services operating out of the Ear Falls area.
The outpost is perched on a hill overlooking Shabumeni Lake with capacity for up to 12 guests. It is self-contained and fully operational: solar-powered lights, hot and cold running water, showers, a fully equipped propane kitchen, gas BBQ, propane fish cooker, wood burning stove, screened fish cleaning shed with running water, emergency generator, large deck, and a fleet of boats and motors. Everything required to run a productive fishing season is already in place.
The current owner is retiring after years of running the camp and will be available at the start of the season to make guest introductions and provide whatever training and handover support the new owner needs. This is a clean transition with an established client base already in place.
Shabumeni Lake runs 13 miles and is fed by two inlet rivers and drained by one outlet river — a configuration that concentrates fish at predictable locations and delivers strong early-season fishing as river-run fish move through. Countless bays and islands create structural variety across the lake, while deep water reefs hold fish through the warm weather months when surface temperatures push species deeper. The combination of river fishing, bay structure, and deep reef fishing gives guests a productive range of water throughout the entire season.
Located 60 air miles northeast of Ear Falls in the heart of Northwestern Ontario's boreal lake country, Shabumeni is the kind of fishery that rewards operators who know it well — and the outgoing owner brings that knowledge to the handover.
The outpost is fully equipped and operational. No significant capital is required to run a season.
