Browns' Clearwater West Lodge, is home to not just one, but two world-record ice-fishing lake trout catches that still stand to this day!   Known for producing world record-size trout in the wintertime, Browns' is a prime destination for the die-hard trout angler!  Clearwater West Lake gets its name for exactly that, pristine clear water that is deep and cold; two basic ingredients in the foundation of any good lake trout lake. 

 

 Clearwater West Lake flows into White Otter Lake, which is equally as pristine and remote.   Known for trout, walleye and bass (summer) fishing, White Otter is also home to the White Otter Castle.  Completed in 1915 by woodman, Jimmy McOuat, this castle stands as a testament to man's perseverance, determination, dedication and stamina.  

 

 When you first arrive at Browns' you will park and off-load your snow machine, gear and other items at the main Lodge.  From there you and your group will travel across the lake to one of our rustic, remote outposts for an epic adventure!   Each outpost is on the shores of beautiful Clearwater West Lake is fronted by a magnificent view and is only minutes away from world-class fishing grounds!!  

 

Enjoy some time reconnecting with the basics while being disconnected from the business of life; each outpost is modestly furnished with all you need to do just that! The heat source is that of a woodstove, with easily accessible fuel in the woodshed just outside each outpost; pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery equip the kitchen for meal preparation; there is a BBQ on the deck complete with propane and ample sled parking next to each Outpost!  Choose your target species of walleye, lake trout, smallmouth bass, northern pike or whitefish on Clearwater West Lake or travel to one of our remote neighbouring lakes for even more adventure!  Take a day and snow machine to the White Otter Castle and enjoy a day learning about the legendary Jimmy McOuat and his quest to build himself and his bride a castle in the woods!
