First up is one of best, showalters fly-in outposts!
For over 50 years, members of the Showalter family have been providing fly-in fishing adventures from Lake of the Woods to the Arctic Circle. Beginning with the purchase of Northwest Flying Service in the late 50’s, Ralph, Manly, and Edwin Showalter eventually became some of the most experienced bush pilots ever to fly the northern regions of Canada, guiding thousands of fishermen and hunters to once-in-a-lifetime outdoor experiences.
In 1987, Edwin, his wife Louise, and son Eddie Showalter moved north to the Red Lake, Ontario, area and began operation of “Showalter’s Fly-In Service” with a fleet of two Beechcraft 18’s, one Beaver, and a Cessna 180. The family now operates 14 of the top remote fly-in outpost camps in Northwest Ontario.
In 2008, after a long and legendary 50 year aviation career, Edwin retired. He and Louise sold the company operations to their son Eddie. Under Eddie’s management, his family’s reputation for high levels of customer service and safety continues to bring guests back year after year.
During the summer of 2014, the Showalter family, upon seeing the huge increase in demand for remote fishing locations decided to purchase and open three more fantastic fly-in fishing outposts.
The Showalter family proudly welcomes you to the best fly-in fishing outposts in northern Ontario.
