Derrick and Kathy are phenomenal! My brother in law and I went up from the Wi/Mn border area and made the 14.5hr drive. We made sure to ask all the right questions prior to going up there and because of that we both tagged out by day 2! I tagged out Day one with a beautiful black bear with white blaze on the chest and BIL tagged out the next evening with a brute 300lb spring bear! Derrick and Kathy quickly became friends to us, and before leaving we had determined we WILL be back and so far on the trip home we have several times in the coming years we plan to make the trip back. If you want a successful

One of the best reasons to enjoy Shining Tree Camp is the fishing. The neighbouring lakes offer up some of the best fishing you can find in Ontario.
