I have fished with guide Gerald Arch over the past few years on Lake of the Woods. Always successful, last year was a noteworthy example of his talents. A buddy and I hit the area during a cold front and the fish had shut down. Fishing was tough and other fishermen we talked to were having a difficult time catching anything. With 3 of us fishing we were only limited to the amount of bait we had with us. We caught walleye and crappie and smallies. We had shore lunch every day. His easy going manner and up-to-date equipment make it very enjoyable. Raising a young family himself he’d also be a good guide for any young person. I’ll be back again this year.”

A long time deer hunter who has hunted for only trophy buck all of my life. Hunted with Gerald the past couple of years, with our group having great success. Our group has taken several buck and we enjoy the freedom of hunting were “we are the only hunters”. Hunting in natural wilderness has allowed us to experience a “classic hunt” No fences, baiting, dog’s, etc. The potential for trophy buck is always here.
This past fall I harvested a 169 5/8 Net class buck. My personal best. Excellent scouting practices and sound decision making has made a successful hunt for our group. Quality accommodations. Would recommend Gerald to all advid whitetailed deer hunters planning a trip for trophy buck in Canada.

“I had a blast fishing with Gerald. I had long awaited a fishing trip to Canada, and it was every-bit as good as I imagined it could be. There were times that all three of us were reeling in fish at the same time. The other people staying at the lodge were amazed to know that we were catching fish all day, as they were barely catching any. Gerald was very knowledgeable of the area and baits needed and the boat was very easy to maneuver around in.”

Gerald, I just wanted to thank you for the memorable hunt that you provided for me and my son. My son was very excited to get his trophy buck, he is still showing off the antlers. It’s one of the biggest buck we have taken (8pts 19 1/2 in. spread and 220lbs). Though I didn’t get my buck, I did have my chances, It was more rewarding to see my son take a trophy deer it is something we will never forget. We are looking forward to hunting again with you in the Fall of 2007.

“Three of us hunted and stayed with Gerald this last year (2007). I have been hunting whitetails for over 30 years and I can say his knowledge of the sport is second to none. He worked extremely hard to give us every opportunity to be successful. In addition Gerald is very personable and entertaining. Although I did not get a deer, I had my chances at shooting and I was never placed in an area that I didn’t think had deer. All of us were very happy with the lodging provided and I would not hesitate to recommended Gerald to anyone looking to hunt in this area.”

Have hunted the past 9 years in Ontario with 4 different outfitters. Gerald’s service rating is very high amongst them. The accommodations were great! Gerald knows the area very well and works very affectively in putting you on a trophy buck. I seen several buck through out my hunt and shot a 9 point. Not my biggest to date but most respectable. Gerald is very knowledgeable and I would recommend this hunt to all hunters who love to hunt Whitetails. Thank’s, Gerald.
