I've been acquainted with the Booi's for over 50 years, when I fished at Jim's granddad's lodge back in 1950. We have been coming to Booi's Fly-In for over 20 years now. Our children, relatives and close friends have been your guests and all of us agree the accommodations, equipment and fishing can't be beat. I have fished in Ontario all my adult life and your place is the best.

The boys are already talking about next year. That'll make it our 11th year in a row. I've enjoyed every trip; each year keeps getting better. I can tell we are more than customers to you. Your friendship is greatly appreciated.

There is nothing anywhere in Ontario that compares in price, quality of accommodations, the superb hospitality of both Jim and Tracy and the size and amount of fish caught.
Bill Holland
The fishing is always excellent. Every year the service and the facilities get better. The country is beautiful and the hospitality is great. Those are only a few of the many reasons why I've been coming to Booi's Fly-In Lodge for more than 30 years.

We members of the Dahlheimer group have been coming to Booi's since 1970. Several other groups have been formed as a spin-off from our group.

This year marks my 25th year to Booi's. Each trip is relaxing, exciting and obviously addictive. The fish have always been plentiful. My memorable time is the "one that got away". I fought for 1 hr. & 15 minutes with 14 lb. line to land either a large, large trout or a small hippo while other boats circled offering encouragement. It broke free, must have been a trout. I never got it to the surface; a hippo would have come to eat the boat. I've been fighting and releasing; I swear- the same 46" Northern pike!
The atmosphere at Booi's Island is, in itself, enough to keep me coming back. Your welcome is always genuine and your family warm and helpful. Can't wait till next year.

I've been coming to Booi's Fly-In Lodge for 31 years. I've brought many groups and during the last few years, my grand son. That makes 3 generation of us that comes to Booi's.
The fishing is hard to believe. There are great numbers of walleye, lake trout and big northern pike.
With all the times that I have been on the lake, the big boats and motors have never let me down. I have stayed in all their cabins and they are all comfortable. Being able to take a warm shower after a day on the lake is great, not to mention the clean towels.
Stop by the lodge…you can always get a cup of coffee and some good conversation from Jim, Tracy, their children, Ardi and all the lodge attendants. You can't find a better bunch of people.
From experience, I know that Booi's will fill your needs whether it's your first trip or your 30th! They are always smiling and ready to take care of you. If you want to catch many, many fish, see a lot of wildlife, have a great time and forget all your troubles, then I suggest you go to Booi's Fly-In Lodge.

We are hooked on Booi's! They provide such a great fly-in fishing experience that we've never looked anywhere else. We are always impressed with the service shown to the customers-The Booi Family knows how to cater to the comforts and needs of the fishermen.
Life on the mosquito free island is easy and carefree, with a beautiful huge gazebo for sharing the days' fish stories or playing cards, and the large bonfire area is great for relaxing into the darkness of a perfect Canadian starry night.
Scott and Julie Schulz
I started coming to Booi's 12 years ago; was impressed then and still am. A warm welcome from the Booi's, trained helpful staff, a comfortable cabin, excellent boats and motors…all this plus great fishing. See you next year.
Dave Kraft
Jim will fillet fish with his double bladed axe, or with his giant Bowie Knife, and do it better than most people can with a fancy fillet knife. Lots of laughs are had in the fish house.
Staying at Booi's Island is not like staying at a hotel or a typical lodge. The island is their lives and we become part of it. The best moment is flying in to the island, seeing it again from the air. It is a thrill to pull up to the dock and get a hug from Tracy, and a handshake, along with a tall tale from Jim about his winter adventures.
After several years on the island, seeing Jim and Tracy is like seeing family. They are the genuine article and really care about their guests having a special time on Trout Lake. Year after year the same guests come back. We enjoy the warmth of renewing friendships and we exchange pictures, letters and e-mails with friends made at Booi's Island throughout the year. See you next year.
Jim and Diane Brauker
As you know, your vacation get-away has become one of our favourite places ever. Great fishing, beautiful scenery, wildlife, comfortable cabins and a great staff await us. We are continually awe struck by the beauty of the area and the limitless "honey holes". Thanks to all at Booi's for making our weeks at Trout Lake such wonderful times.
Larry and Karla Toelke
Since 1995 I have recommended Booi's to countless groups, and they have all returned each year. Besides the outstanding hospitality, Trout Lake is unique because the fishing is so outstanding for all 3 species- walleye, trout and northern pike. Each day is a new adventure.
Don Scharbarth
Last day…..July 25…..my trout weighed 17 lb. and my son Addison, his was a healthy 14 lb. Did you time it this way Jim? You've got us hooked again. See you next year.
Blake and Addison Nelson
I've made many pleasant annual visits to Booi's since the first year Jim's Dad and Mom started the lodge in 1969. Along with many fellow companions over the years, I've always enjoyed and anticipated the comradeship and the excitement of superior fishing. Now, at the age of 88, I look forward to being with Jim and Tracy next year when the entire male contingent of our family rendezvous for a week once more.
Dick Schlecht
Hard to find the walleyes small enough to keep-Virgin Fishing! Only go fishing once a year and it's with the Booi's.
George Leveille Sr.
Learned what fishing was really all about at age 13 and I've been back to Booi's every year since.
George Leveille Jr.
We are writing this sitting in a beautiful log cabin overlooking Trout Lake. This is our 27th fishing trip to Booi's. Most of our time spent on Trout Lake has been in August. We can attest to the fact the walleyes are bigger and easy to catch this time of year. The summer weather is great. The friendliness and courtesy of the Booi family has been appreciated. The cabins and fishing equipment are second to none in the north woods "bush country". We recommend your next fishing trip be at Booi's.
George Ruwe
The fishing is premium, form spectacular walleyes, to lurking northerns to fighting lake trout. We've fished early-June, mid-July and September. We have always caught fish in anywhere from 5 to 145 feet of water! The variety of fishing tactics for the various species is great because we can never get tired of fishing. We've never been disappointed with the size of the fish either!
Scott and Julie Schulz
Trout Lake is about fishing, fishing and more fishing. We've never had a bad day of fishing on Trout Lake. We can't count the number of times we've caught more than 50 walleyes in a day, and we're not talking cigar walleyes, the average is over 2 ½ lbs. That's not counting the numbers of northerns that are caught in between the walleyes. One afternoon, I caught and released a 15 lb. and a 19 lb. northern, and Diane caught and released a 19 pounder. If we were better fishermen, we would have caught 2 more 19 lb. plus, that afternoon.
Jim and Diane Brauker
Great place, great people, excellent fishing, and congenial groups. Just a fantastic place. My 12th trip and counting.
Ed Groncki
Jim and Tracy and their staff do everything possible to make your stay one you will always remember. The fishing is great-- Walleye, Lake Trout and Northern-how about a 10 lb. walleye? We've made 30 trips; come twice each summer (in July and in August); and can't wait for the next trip.
Don and Marion Symonds
For over 23 years I've been fishing Canada, and I keep heading for Booi's. We catch big fish close to camp, actually within eyesight of the island. On the way home to Chicago, we start counting the days till we return to Booi's Island.
Joe Maielli
August 6th-Knew we had a big one. Fought it out for 20 minutes. As soon as we saw it, we knew we were going to release it. A Trout-40 inches long, 25-inch girth. We figure at least 30 lb. We never took it out of the net….back in the lake so he can make more big ones. Trip of a lifetime catching a fish like that.
Matt Bartoli
The big boats are spacious and safe in the open water, they are easy to handle with the 25 H.P. motors and the seats are a godsend in comfort. We are impressed with the dock help and guides as well. They not only send us off for a day of fishing to the hot spots with a clean, dry boat filled with lots of gas, but they also welcome us as we come in at the end of the day, ready to prep the boats and gas for the next day. If there's anything we need, it's here. The dock facility and the fish house are convenient and wonderful to use for cleaning fish.
Scott and Julie Schulz
I've been coming to Booi's since 1981. The equipment is always top notch, well maintained and dependable. The Booi's and staff are very helpful and friendly and make us feel right at home. The accommodations are very modern, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The fishing at Booi's is superb with large plentiful walleyes, tackle-busting northerns and powerful lake trout. The scenery is gorgeous there. I've gained many lifelong memories at Booi's.
Bill Neunsinger
I've been going to Booi's for 23 years. My buddy Rube Goehrig has been going for 30 years and Larry Mennenga has been going for 25 years. We're definitely hooked. Rube's son Brad has been on 14 trips with us, and for the last 16 years Dave and Len Anderson have come along. These 2 brothers manage to sneak in 2 additional trips each year! (Going spring, summer and fall each year!)
We have many fond memories of our fishing trips to Booi's. Each year something new and exciting happens that we talk about for weeks later. See you on the island…
